My philosophy professor once joked that there was no point teaching neitzsche anymore since coke and heroin were illegal. He also call him knee-cheese whenever he was brought up, for fun.
I resent the fact that I read him and understood what he was saying.
What I wouldn't give for the blissful ignorance of those for whom his works are just word salad or the insane ramblings of a deranged lunatic...
I would trade my soul for that, only I already lost my soul by reading and understanding Nietzsche.
They should really put his books in the "restricted section," sealed with an ouroboros, and a warning that says "the words contained herein are dangerous. Discretion is advised."
I tried to read it, but I was filtered by the first chapter being a rant about how no one wanted to buy his books. (I think it's Genealogy that does that?)

Arguing on the Internet in a nutshell.

Have you ever argued on the Internet?

Oh look, this isn't an argument.

Yes it is.
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world · 28 pts · 199d
No it isn't. It's just contradiction.

I'm not gonna argue on the Internet if I have to pay, you know.

Look, I don't want to argue about that.

I mean...
Have you read his works? Who the fuck can tell what he actually spoke about or not? Or what's satirical or serious?
I gave-up on reading him, because I certainly can't.
VitoRobles@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 199d
I'm sorry you're right. I was silly to have thought that.
(Cheat code to get out of any argument)
stupidcasey@lemmy.world · 38 pts · 199d
Ugh, this is the exact thing Nietzsche was talking about.
Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 24 pts · 199d
No he didn't.

LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 199d
No. Have you?
BigDiction@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 199d
No.
(I did Philosophy undergrad and honestly never read a single Nietzsche work. Have to look up his name to spell it correctly.)

I for one would be pleased if this level of honesity was normal online. Admitting that no one reads Nietzschean works is the first step.

doesn't matter if you read it or not, it never makes much sense until it does and then you are basically beyond mentioning it in polite conversation
(you know who has read it and who hasn't after you have read it)
wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz · 5 pts · 199d
By the hollow look in the eyes of the ones who have read his works?

While Nietzsche spoke of this, we will unfortunately never know if he wrote of it because I can't read.

So, you prefer Freud to Nietzsche?

I ship Freud/Nietzsche.
