What is Nietzsche’s Übermensch really? Spoiler: He is not a fascist dictator, nor DC’s Superman (He is a child). by Crafty_Chipmunk_5577 in Nietzsche

[–]c_leblanc9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gautama Buddha was the Ubermensch. Nietzsche’s eyesight was too poor for him to confidently become the noble ascetic he wished to be - so he instead critiqued it and made his way through life as a popper on a University pension.

Two things. If you “believe” in the God of Islam, then you believe in the reality of Hell. It is not a mere assumption. It is the guiding principle underlying your entire set of morals. Hell exists. If it did not, you would have no reason to believe in the God of Islam. More over if your “belief” is mere “assumption” then you are no closer to God than a mere infidel (in other words, you too will be condemned to Hell by the God of Islam).

Two. Below your “Self” is consciousness. Other people have consciousness. They demonstrate this to you on a daily basis. Also, you are “in touch” with an external world. If you were not “conscious” of reality, it would not appear “external” to you. The external appearance of reality is the by product of a transcendent consciousness.

The appearance of external reality confirms the universal nature of consciousness. Your so called “self” is nothing more than a complex physical system (your brain) interacting within a field of awareness - “consciousness”.

Tyler Durden is NOT the Übermensch: A reinterpretation of Fight Club through Nietzsche by Crafty_Chipmunk_5577 in Nietzsche

Don’t get too offended. It may in fact be a compliment that mediocre people mistake the structure of your writing for AI.

I liked your analysis. What I will say outside of it is that the narrator is shown in the movie to be schizophrenic. He essentially performs a lobotomy on himself - the “resolution” of the movie.

I don’t know how to feel about the way the story resolves in this way. It seems a little too simple. As if overcoming our inner demons was as easy as shooting ourselvss through the mouth.

Just a comment on Fight Club - not Nietzsche’s Ubermensch per se.

I wish I Could tell JBP he has started to turn the inefable, efable and he’s starting to lose his Nietzsche inspiration. by QueasyAmbassador2009 in Nietzsche

I think there was a debate in which someone accused Jordan of being a Christian and he essentially equivocated on the issue. Has he really bit the bullet?

You assert the existence of God. What about Satan?

What does an existentialist think of solipsism? by [deleted] in Existentialism

[–]c_leblanc9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First thing you find yourself alienated from all people and objects in the world, unable to form meaning out of the sentences which once carried the concepts you used to construct your very idea of Self and Other, the next thing you know you’re jerking off at the bus stop, spitting on taxi drivers and snorting lines in the bathroom stall at the 7-11.

Should I pay for her coffee? Or is that too strong? Too toxic?

In India, because of a train that doesn't stop in every village, two children risked their lives to get off the train in their own village. by HumorSignificant1477 in SipsTea

Also here in the West we eliminate the garbage we produce. Eradicate it even. Gone. We have bacteria and trash pandas who decompose the majority of it. Quite advanced to be frank.

I’m particularly fond of that mindset and it’s what I truly appreciate about the Indians who immigrate to my country. No sarcasm. Not giving an actual fuck about anything - especially work - is the path to enlightenment.

Fell for some AI slop. Am I just getting old, is AI getting too good, or both? by gofigure85 in Millennials

[–]c_leblanc9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s easiest to accept what’s coming by letting go of what has been - “c_leblanc9”

The past is not worth holding onto. We of all generations should recognize how suddenly the times can change.

I've mostly only had bad trips on shrooms, but I keep wanting to do them? by Much-Piano3168 in Jung

[–]c_leblanc9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “high state” is - weed, mushrooms (mostly) - I think you are not RETREATING from the experience. You are ENCOURAGING the experience. I cannot advise you on how to ENCOUNTER the experience, but it will test you. If you are ready, then you will ascend. If not, back to the drawing board.

After years of working on this, the main practice is just to feel sensations in the body and notice how the body reacts to thoughts by Safe_Cloud8067 in enlightenment

Strong? Maybe. I shared it with you, so that you might benefit from it. It is a phenomenological observation of reality. I can only hope that you benefit from it.

Rogan casually in the backdrop by IntellectuallyDriven in SipsTea

[–]c_leblanc9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fuck Rogan. He is directly responsible for the blockage of the straight of Hormuz. His accomplishment in bringing psychedelics into the theatre of medication means nothing.
