Pretty much shitposting, but in reality, this is a book you see people reading in the subway in a manner so that everyone can see what they are reading. It is certainly useful and interesting in an upper-level philosophy class with a good teacher, but if you see a highschool student with greasy hair reading it, you can bet that he sees himself as the ubermensch, and is probably a douche

How can one be so psychologically broken that they "love" what goes most strongly against their values? Its like a zionist Jew who "loves" Nazi books or a Nazi that "loves" reading about racial miscegenation.

I was not criticizing a egalitarian's appreciation of Nietszche's skill, but the egalitarian's "LOVE" of Nietszche.

Probably, but almost certainly begrudgingly.

In the introduction of my new edition of The Will to Power, ol' Nietzsche was summed up quite well:

>>9141473
>implying pureblood mediterraneans aren't white

also no one here seems to have grasped the true meaning of his tought. supposing that what we have of his works is true (because they were cucked by liberal/kikes scholars after wwii because of the claim that his sister had altered them), he postulated an existential superiority who had nothing to do with biological race.

he was against nationalism, as well as socialism and egalitarianism because they tend to value all people the same putting everyone on the same level on the basis of purely moral reasons that had nothing to do with one's merit and virtue. his tought cannot be applied to politics because the ubermensch is not defined as a money maker or a power grubber or a good family man, but simply as a man enjoying life in whatever way he fancies, mastering his body and mid, without letting himself to be influenced by his community or subjugated by imposed morals
>>
>>9141785

that cannot even be considered an interpretation of him because it makes it clear you have never read him and are just speaking through hearsay

i sadly see today many dumb niggers being more alpha and more "aristocratic" (as in dominant) than fully white men who are cucked for on reason or another. also 90% of all late aristocrats where a bunch of sissy cucks so your point is moot at best.

if you are so convinced of what you say, that the ubermensch has a racial component, post a quote that I can find in one of nietzche's books. you won't convince anyone with shallow arguments such as that

i've never understood how this theory and others like it from reactionaries are tenable, even on their own terms. if they were truly superior, they'd never be able to be brought down in the first place. if egalitarians can bring them down, that makes them superior, categorically
>>

>i sadly see today many dumb niggers being more alpha and more "aristocratic" (as in dominant) than fully white men who are cucked for on reason or another

This only happens because our current egalitarian and slave moralist legal system protects them.

Without preferential treatment they'd be what they are,, the lowest rung on the ladder of races.

Yes, LATE aristocrats AKA the ones who let their countries get rekt

I wasnt really talking about the ubermench specifically, which is why I used quote marks. The poster I was speaking to used the term.

Nietszche clearly says that their are noble races who practice master morality and dont fall the "evil" meme, that is what I speak of.

I dont know if he specifically said that the ubermesnch is genetic but it doesnt matter because he clearly said that superiority is.
>>
>>9141917
>>9141909
He >>9141880 is right. I'd like to direct you toward aphorism 479 of Human All Too Human where he talks about the connection of wealth and the purification of a race, i.e. aristocracy (Geburtsadel). In Daybreak 272 he talks about the purification, quoting a remark that God created blacks and whites but the devil created mixed races, but in Genealogy of Morals he talks about how "der Neger" (black) represents a primal version of man 'der Neger (diese als Repräsentanten des vorgeschichtlichen Menschen genommen' (GM 2. 7)

>He confuses strength/power for greatness/nobility/etc

You're precisely the sort of retard Nietzsche was calling out in his Untimely Meditations.

Specifically, those who believed German culture was superior to that of France because the former had defeated the latter militarily.

Similarly, the Greeks were superior to the Romans, despite having been brought down by them militarily.
>>
>>9141996
if the person was really superior theyd be smart or strong enough not to get killed. they are a priori inferior. numbers dont matter.

>Why are their so many 'inferior' people? Because they fucked up

superior people don't fuck up. inferior people do. thats the difference.

>and let them outbreed them

that also makes them inferior. if they were truly superior, they would have never lost control. and biologically speaking, evolutionary fitness is manifest by reproduction. those that reproduce more are very simply more fit than those who cannot or do not reproduce, for whatever reason.

>>9142012
we're not talking even superficially about military force. this is a more general a matter of who is in power, who has control, and who can and does take down who. the strong dominate, by definition.

the analogy doesnt work because youre talking about human-made technology whereas we're talking about biological organisms

>>9142162
superiority is a lot more than domination.

If Alexander the Great was killed by malaria (as the story goes), does that mean malaria is superior to him? Lol, of course not.

Also you should understand that only in the last 100 years has the inferior people been truly dominant over the superior, its nothing compared to the history of mankind. Its just an anomaly, a fluke.

Soon it will be as it was.

Which is true.

"Strong" does not mean "best", however.
>>
>>9142195
youre comparing a virus to human beings, which, in the first place, we're talking about human beings relative to other human beings. and if there are human beings that are genetically immune to malaria, they are superior to those who aren't, no matter what their brain can do. and second, if a virus is capable of killing all mankind, that would actually mean evolutionary yes, the virus would be a superior life form than a human. taking for granted the weird definitions of whether or not a virus is an organism or biological 'life'

>inferior people been truly dominant over the superior

see, that just doesn't make sense. inferior people can't dominate by definition. they'd either fail out of incompetence or outdone by smarter and stronger people around them. either that or the strong are just.. letting inferior people dominate them? then that makes these supposedly superior people inferior too, for allowing that to happen.

the time scale thing i might be able to agree with you about. so in the whole history of mankind, who have been the truly dominant people for the most amount of time since the appearance of homo sapiens?

>>9142212
>you are the one only talking about force

no, your example involved the force (in terms of physics) of a dump truck destroying a telescope. its the very premise of your metaphor in the first place.

you dont seem to have gotten the point about evolution, which is that the genotype or phenotype leaves the most copies of itself in successive generations is the most evolutionary fit. those who reproduce more are more fit than those who dont, because the latter arent passing their genes on through time. there are reasons they either cant or wont reproduce, and those reasons constitute their evolutionary weakness. this is natural selection at work.

you dont seem to even understand your own argument either or how it fits into the larger historical and global scheme of things. you seem to imply that complexity is the condition of superiority. which is demonstrably false. ill give you an opportunity to refine your argument.
>>
So in the only work that Nietzsche personally oversaw the publishing of, he states his disgust of national socialism. Yet this theme is absent in all his other works, and I've been told they were edited even in the original German after his death.

Is there any truth to this, and if so, is there any possibility that his original writings exist?

You keep misusing words and pretending valid comparisons are invalid.

I think this is what showcases the inferiority of the Darwinian complex of Nietzsche to the God-accepting, faith manifesting existentialism of Kierkegaard, where the product of one's input on reality is actually simply a series of understanding choices one makes in life and with their perception.

i know your example is meant to be absurd, but you dont even get to the even more absurd reality: no need to bow when e coli is using us as hosts.

you also make an important turn in your sentence that shouldnt be taken for granted, from is to ought. e coli outnumbering and outmassing all mammals would be something factual, an "is." then you jump to "ought" by sarcastically saying let's bow to the bacteria. it doesnt matter if we seriously bow or are ignorant of the existence of e coli--as a species, it is more predominant, has lived longer, and tolerates a greater range of environments than human beings.

>>9142444
thank you, you are actually able to comprehend my arguments and make something of a cogent reply. being more of an empiricist than nietzsche (gasp), i would counter that jesus christ only exists as a distorted fiction in the minds of the living, and has less power than the actually-living descendants of the tibetan salt miner

>stuff like whether or not people look good or win prizes are more subjective, human value judgments.
Kind of like the construct of 'superiority'. Nature doesn't recognize beings as superior, and your definition of "superior" is as narrow as being able to reproduce. But you must recognize that physical traits such as attractiveness contribute to likelihood to mate.
>and if there are human beings that are genetically immune to malaria, they are superior to those who aren't, no matter what their brain can do.

His idea of power is closer to that of the Hindu Buddhist or Taoist spiritual warrior.
Look at zarathustras life in the story, he never physically dominates people (even though he probably could) but he detaches and retreats to the mountains until he can finally overcome his basic weaknesses like his pity.

Honestly I think if Nietzsche was better informed about Buddhism his opinion of it would have been much higher. As is he describes it foundry but critizies it for "denying life" when it's exactly the opposite.

this can in turn become external power, but its not a necessity, and he never considered "rulers" or people with temporal power to be "higher men" simply because of that material power alone.

i feel like that is a weird question to ask of philospher why put on affectations of depth and mystery if you already know you that you are capable of depth and content

>> inb4 u haven't published anything u pseud overcomplicated syntax prose loser lol u know the world over has read the things ive written just remember content farming and mass surveillance recollection exposes with some edgy derivative prose thrown in does not a classic make

I mean its just that Nietzsche writes about the Ubermensch and yet because its easy to read his work it gets read by a lot of edgy teenagers and the like who misrepresent what its really supposed to be about

why do you care if edgy teens read this?

teens aren't teens forever and that "edgy" ultra-sceptic phase is an important step in intellectual development.

maybe reading Nietzsche will open them to new ideas, maybe they will come back to him in a few years and realise things they ignored before?

chapter 24

In the Happy Isles

I sat in the shade of the wrecked boat-house and stared out over the bay, sunlight glittering off shallow waves, a breeze carrying the stench of rotting sea-weed off the water. The Amanojaku was trying to open a bag of, god knows what - some kind of bright orange sodium-poisoned fake-cheese-flavored snacks. She couldn't get a good grip on the front and back sides of the bag; it was filled taut with air, with a couple of dozen marble-sized snacks rattling around within. She tried biting into it; the plastic was too strong. She tried tearing the top seam open; the plastic stretched and snapped back into place. With a scream of frustration she crushed the bag between her breasts and her forearm. The seam gave way, popped open and every single cheesy snack flew into the air, scattering around her on the sand in a perfectly symmetrical ellipse of uncertainty.

She regarded the scattering of orange dots at her feet, then looked at the empty bag, and then glared at me.

I shrugged and gestured at the swarm of seagulls converging on our position. "And out of the midst of superabundance, it is delightful to look out upon distant seas."

The birds attacked and, with the example of the bleached bones of previous victims, we wisely retreated to the cafe.

i cant quite tell if ur making any veiled judgement pointed at me but I guess with the explication of philospher u have to either err somewhere either on the side of accessibility/comprehension or impenetrability
