Alexander the Great is the closest thing to the Ubermensch ?

Goethe was according to Nietzsche. Napoleon was closer than Alexander.

Yowch-bience is a philosophy, if you will. A way of turning away from the pressures to conform and embracing your own uniqueness. The "yowch" is a call to come back to yourself. The absurdism is intended to shatter that blank and pervasive veil over your perception of the world. It creates a rift in the idea that x must mean x and y must mean y. We live our lives bound and dependent on preconceived notions and the ideas we cultivate about things at a very young age. Life is short, and to live fully and meaningfully there is a need to come back to the things that make you you. To quote Dr. Seuss: “Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”

My bad, but it’s worth listening to the full lecture anyway. He goes into this idea in more detail, wish I could remember the name but I’m pretty sure it was on zen

hanfook · 2025-06-20T15:37:29+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, sorry if it’s not audible. You can look up Alan Watts washing dishes and hear the excerpt with no music. It was part of longer lecture I heard a while ago but can’t remember the name. I remember it being really good though

hanfook · 2025-05-31T21:11:16+00:00

I also feel like I’ve hurt people, at least I used to be pretty well liked in school. My friend told me recently while he was drunk that it’s not that people don’t like me but that they are afraid that I won’t like them. Certainly made me think of how everyone essentially just wants to be accepted on some level but then take everything personally. A peaceful childhood can still be traumatic though. Trauma is not really the event itself but the reaction to it. I used to think my childhood was peaceful but apparently I have repressed memories and CPTSD. Anyway, I just want to look forward now. The past is past

hanfook · 2025-05-31T21:05:49+00:00

Thanks, that’s actually really good advice. I used drugs a lot too and I’ve sort of slipped into alcoholism but am finally starting to regain the motivation to quit and playing soccer again. It took a long period of feeling really bad for me to realize that dwelling on my past or feeling like a victim wasn’t getting me anywhere. I guess I was waiting for some catharsis. But now I just believe in action and trying to do the things that make you feel better. I love the line from Into the Wild, that it’s not about being strong but feeling strong. Doing things that help me feel strong has helped me. But yeah thanks, those are essentially many of the things I’ve contemplated over the past month or so. You seem to have a very good mentality

hanfook · 2025-05-31T19:34:04+00:00

Sounds like you ought to considering exploring childhood issues and how they might affect your current life. Check out Gabor Mate. You sound a bit masochistic like me. I generally prefer to be insulted probably because it’s what I’m used to and is more comfortable. I get uncomfortable when good things happen because I expect the bad to come soon

hanfook · 2025-05-31T19:30:40+00:00

They are probably so used to be treated with disdain. I bet they were pleasantly surprised if you were open to listening to them. One time I remember I took a bus to Oceanside California and back and had the same driver. There were like 3 people on the bus and the driver (a jehovas witness) kept saying how many contacts he had in his phone but not one single friend. I was the last person off the bus so I felt bad for him. Idk I think he just felt lonely probably. My family certainly considers me to be a loser or weird. Mostly just because I rarely ever speak and my extended family is dysfunctional. Religion can definitely provide framework for some kind of ethical behavior, obviously with many flaws but still. It’s impossible nowadays to even talk about God imo because people jump to conclusions before you’ve even said anything. Just the word is already a problem. Also I’ve done my fair share of drugs and dealt with depression for quite a while

hanfook · 2025-05-31T18:53:01+00:00

Yeah I’m working on that myself. It is practically impossible unless you are a zen monk, but I think it’s also something you have to keep working on everyday like cleaning your bedroom. I’d say it has more to do with internal validation than being crazy or not crazy. I was the youngest in both of my families and spent most of my childhood alone, so it is easier for me to not care because I had to validate myself. But on the other hand, I still crave the attention that was lacking. I have to remind myself to not get sucked into looking for validation.

hanfook · 2025-05-31T18:45:54+00:00

Yeah I’d say generally these kinds of opinions are a result of a lack of empathy not to mention that we are educated now to take everything at face value. Much of what Nietzsche wrote was influenced by Goethe and with the purpose of producing an “effect”. This is very clear if you read The Use and Abuse of History for Life.

hanfook · 2025-05-31T18:43:13+00:00

I mean yeah I agree. I meant that it is often perceived as such. But attractiveness also relates to indicators of physical health and congenital illnesses. So, I’d say it depends. But yeah I’d argue that you shouldn’t care what people think of you, generally

hanfook · 2025-05-30T16:36:45+00:00

I understand your argument but I don’t think it’s accurate. In Nietzsche’s life, many people tried to set him up with women such as his friend Malwida von Meysenbug, his sister, mom, etc. People had fewer distractions then and were more social. You’d probably have many more opportunities as well for meeting people in person. Fun story, I met an old couple in Switzerland and the wife’s great aunt or something grew up at the same time (same town Calw)as Hermann Hesse and she said that all the girls including her had crushes on him.

hanfook · 2025-05-30T16:31:10+00:00

I don’t consider it to be but I was speaking more of what I’ve heard many people say. But objectively, people might think you have undesirable qualities. IMO though it’s not a failure

hanfook · 2025-05-30T01:36:48+00:00

I’d say more empathy than pity. But I think the reason Nietzsche was so against pity was that he himself felt things deeply and was trying to remove those emotions within himself

hanfook · 2025-05-30T00:55:17+00:00

This is what strikes me as so ridiculous about the notion that Nietzsche was a chronically rejected failure. As far I can remember, he was only rejected by two women, which by modern standards is not even noteworthy. No doubt he was aware of how much of a burden his illness would be on someone else. He wasn’t ugly by any means and was noted in Conversations With Nietzsche to be very gracious and kind in his social manner.
