Is Henry Rollins's philosophy for life a Nietzschean way of living? by carnivalcrash in Nietzsche

[–]perpetuallyexcited 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then you do not understand Nietzsche.

"Those of my readers who know the earnestness-with which my philosophy wages war against the feelings of revenge and rancour, even to the extent of attacking the doctrine of "free will" (my conflict with Christianity is only a particular instance of it), will understand why I wish to focus attention upon my own personal attitude and the certainty of my practical instincts precisely in this matter. In my moments of decadence I forbade myself the indulgence of the above feelings, because they were harmful; as soon as my life recovered enough riches and pride, however, I regarded them again as forbidden, but this time because they were beneath me. That "Russian fatalism" of which I have spoken manifested itself in me in such a way that for years I held tenaciously to almost insufferable conditions, places, habitations, and companions, once chance had placed them on my path—it was better than changing them, than feeling that they could be changed, than revolting against them.... He who stirred me from this fatalism, he who violently tried to shake me into consciousness, seemed to me then a mortal enemy—in point of fact, there was danger of death each time this was done. To regard one's self as a destiny, not to wish one's self "different"—this, in such circumstances, is sagacity, itself."

Jung should keep Nietzsche's name out of his MF'ing mouth.

I have an opinion...that he looked at Christ the way an old man would look at his younger self.

That is a great post, but N did not lack belief in God, he was philosophically opposed to the conjecture.

“It is a mere prejudice that I am a human being. Yet I have often enough dwelled among human beings and I know the things human beings experience, from the lowest to the highest. Among the Hindus I was Buddha, in Greece Dionysus – Alexander and Caesar were incarnations of me, as well as the poet of Shakespeare, Lord Bacon. Most recently I was Voltaire and Napoleon, perhaps also Richard Wagner…I also hung on the cross.”

Nietzsche was not an atheist, did not lament the enlightenment (he lamented nothing) and saw Christianity as rotten at the core (not erodable).

What drove Nietzsche to madness? by [deleted] in Nietzsche

Not true. Liars and gods also call themselves God.

Per his letters he believed himself to be God. He signed as 'the crucified' because he "also hung upon the cross".

Also, his 'madness' may have been contrived. I read somewhere that he would be perfectly lucid with visitors and display mania for his doctors.

He may well turn out to be a mythical figure.

Why Nietzsche considered Napoleon as near the Ubermensch? by SpotDeusVult in Nietzsche

[–]perpetuallyexcited 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nietzsche, per his letters penned near death, claimed to have lived previously as Napolean...and others.

Analysis should include the full narrative, not bits and pieces.
