Chapter: "what is noble?"
It's too early for it.
When I read philosophy, I'll usually spend aome time thinking about what I've read trying to synchronize my mindset and beliefs with the one of the author, while rereading his books. As soon as I'll get comfortable with it, I'll start disassembling, re-analyzing and re-contextualizing all of his contents, but only after that familiarity has set in: if I don't wait enough I'll end up having to start again from scratch.
tl;dr: I have to ponder for a week or two on why, according to virtually every society in history, it is okay for them to make me a slave and exploit me for the rest of my life.

Sorry, my dude, I have slave morality. I am, at best, an ascetic.

I've been thinking about this whole "giving up on ambition because you realize you do not have the capacities to achieve what you wish to achieve" thing a lot lately. I used to see it as a mindset of cowardice, someone too lazy or insecure or unsure of themselves or defeatist to go for their dreams. And I still do in certain cases--when there's this insidious reveling in it--but honestly, I've been realizing it's a fairly noble and well-reasoned outlooked.
There are natural differences in people's skills and capacities. We like to imagine ourselves as capable of anything. If we're not at the level of genius we'd like to see ourselves at, it is because we have not worked toward it enough, but it remains an eventuality in our mind. In a lot of people, this is nothing more than a delusion. In a few, yes, you truly are capable.
The rub: it's tough to know what category you fall into. I think it's natural to be insecure. But after a certain level of exploring, of failing, of no longer even being able to see promise in yourself, I think it may be time to call it quits.
By all means, pursue your goals! If you don't, the nagging question of what could have been will torment you for the rest of your life. If you do pursue them, you'll probably fail. And then, you'll probably wanna give up. Evaluate yourself. If there remains that hope, some concrete evidence of promise, keep going. If you realize your dream isn't for you or you are not capable of achieving your dream, then dump it.
Back to Nietzsche: the guy's a fucking juggernaut. He's renowned as a genius and reading his work, you realize just how accurate of a word genius is. Folding isn't a bad thing at all if you understand what he's saying, see the truth in it, and have no retort. That's a sign, I think, of being intellectually sound and honest.
Henry Carter
"Every aristocratic morality is intolerant about the education of the young,
disposal over women, marriage customs, relations between old and young
and penal laws (which only concern deviants): – it considers intolerance
itself to be a virtue, under the rubric of “justice.”"
" and the moral philosophers emerging at this time – what will they have to
preach? These sharp observers and layabouts discover that everything is rapidly coming to an end, that everything around them is ruined and creates ruin, that nothing lasts as long as the day after tomorrow except one species of person, the hopelessly mediocre . Only the mediocre have prospects for continuing on, for propagating – they are the people of the future, the only survivors: “Be like them! Be mediocre!” is the only morality that still makes sense, that still finds ears. But this morality of mediocrity is difficult to preach! It can never admit what it is and what it wants! It has to talk about moderation and dignity and duty and loving your neighbors, – it will have a hard time hiding its irony!"
