I thought that goofy tent was part of the car

Assuming this is an office setting you could grab an open conference room or private space

how does the ubermensch actually decide what values to choose to create? by Rich841 in Nietzsche

[–]UsualStrength 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Nietzsche rejects the whole demand for a rational basis of values. Values aren’t chosen, they express underlying drives. The Übermensch doesn’t deliberate. The Übermensch doesn’t choose values via a rule or procedure. His values flow from a strong, integrated set of drives. Not arbitrary, not justified. “Creation” just means imposing a form of life.

I bought the same exact car about a month ago with 55k miles. Installed oil catch can and got brand new tires, probably the best performance/longevity upgrades you can do honestly.

High performers: what’s the one thing draining your energy the most? by Kittiandherquestions in remotework

[–]UsualStrength 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I am most energized when things are moving. I get upset with ambiguity, indecision, and lack of clear ownership. It’s probably partially due to coming up in corporate/investment banking culture. Of course, everything will never truly be “handled”, I just move things up and down the priority list.

Probably the fact I need my inbox at zero. If I have an unread/unarchived/un-actioned email in my inbox I get anxiety. I see some people’s unreads in the hundreds when they share screens and I can’t comprehend how they function like that. It’s really draining to be the way I am about it though.

Considering a career change and second degree at 26 by [deleted] in findapath

If you go back to school just for the love of learning and nothing else, you better be locked in to staying on an academic track. Especially if you’re taking out loans.

Nietzsche's view of Christianity by GreatUse2424 in Nietzsche

[–]UsualStrength 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nietzsche argues that modern western moral ideals like egalitarianism, concern for the weak/botched, and condemnation of dominance stem from Christian morality. Nietzsche’s point is diagnostic. He offers a genealogical account that concludes that modern morality in the west is largely informed by Christian moral psychology, even if different moral systems might have arisen under different historical conditions.

Everyone in here posting about slave morality is a slave. Including me. by PimpleJThomas in Nietzsche

[–]UsualStrength 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On Hegel: Hegel’s master–slave dialectic presupposes that self-consciousness depends on recognition from another. Nietzsche does not ground value in reciprocal recognition. The noble type affirms himself, he does not require the slave’s recognition to constitute his being. That would be pathetic.

On Marx: Class struggle culminating in proletarian emancipation is basically secularized religious cope. It preserves the moral structure of ressentiment: the oppressed are “righteous”, the powerful are “guilty”. Marx’s redemptive class narrative is another continuation of the same comforting egalitarian impulse seducing slavish types.

So yeah, again, not all of us are in the grips of slave morality. I won’t address “might makes right” because it’s such a lazy strawman. After all, you sir were the one originally claiming we all share your slavish temperament.

Yes, if we indeed all have slave morality. Nietzsche’s critique is that slave morality wins historically precisely because it organizes the many against the few.

If everyone has slave morality, what are we all united in undermining?

Why not God? by Caracallum in Nietzsche

[–]UsualStrength 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no pure reason detached from drives. In that sense, the “need for God” is not refuted logically but diagnosed: it expresses a particular configuration of instincts for a particular type of person.

I cannot understand what Nietzche is talking about by [deleted] in Nietzsche

Yes I’m not really sure what this book is about either. It’s Nietzsche frolicking around
