what can Nietzsche teach me about truth?

yeah that was the quote i forgot what it was

In "Truth and Lies in a Non-moral Sense," Nietzsche writes about how truth is socially constructed by society in order to avoid pain; that what is considered painful is categorized as a lie and what is best for the weak is truth. He says that this is fucking dumb, and that what humans think is painful doesn't matter wrt to truth. At the same time, he expresses serious doubt about whether or not humans have access to any kind of truth, and so he suggests the rejection of commonly held truth in order to live by one's own truth.

I know this is a meme thread, but it's an interesting little essay. It's very early Nietzsche, so keep in mind that he thought a bit differently by the end of his career.

It's funny (and sad) to see the constant undercurrent of health and healthiness in Nietzsche's work. He must have been in a lot of pain

I think we're being slowly invaded, for one reason or another. I've noticed a lot of "reddit" comments, either in memes (as here) or in their peculiar smug-but-salty passive-aggression.

Basically Nietzsche taught us that women are oppressed, and so are POC. To fix this problem all white people have to go (he mentions, as a possible solution, the usage of gulags).
Also he borrowed the ideal concept of Platonic society, but said that instead of philosophers, such a society should be led by the gayest people in the country.

It may be controversial, but there's some truth behind it, doesn't it?
