We are all the tightrope walker.

Why do you say that? Zarathustra singled out the tightrope walker because he lived a dangerous life unlike everyone else.

Because the Zarathustrian reader will ultimately try to walk the rope and will probably die before reaching the other side.

At least Zarathustra will take care of my body.

"Goest thou to woman? Forget not thy whip."

But doesn't Nietzsche say that humans are walking the tightrope between apes and overman?

>>438036
Yes but not everyone walks. The people in the audience watching are those who do not have the courage to take the first step. Instead they mock people who try to get across and laugh when they die. They are the resentful subhumans.

It is the human race as a whole that will become the Overman but this will not happen by the entire species walking across, most will be specators or mockers. It will be the individuals that carry the race forward.

>>438050

>tfw I'm about to walk the rope
>tfw will probably literally die in the process

Is a story about somebody who gets thrown into a repeat world every time they give up on the current world Nietzsche-like?

The Eternal Return is hell to some and heaven to others. You don't get a choice though...the ride never ends!

>yfw you embrace the creative destruction

>>438728
I don't know whether or not it repeats anyway because the story isn't finished yet.

How is the last man suppose to make the overman impossible? Or did I misunderstand something?

>>437559
At least you can die with honor.
