"Penguin Classics are excellent because I don't read yet they still look worn and used for bookshelf threads."
Nietzsche was a worthless cuck and anyone who thinks his work is deep or even slightly thought provoking is a retarded subhuman.
the dawkins or harris of his time. unironically. didn't contribute to the field, just made stuff hume already covered more accessible to the masses.

Things you never see in Nietzsche threads. Goes perfectly with the guy's writings. "Either you get it or you don't and that's why my premises are correct".
*cough* non-philosophy.

Luckily for you he left the explaining and reasoning to people smart enough to get it.
Start with books about Nietzsche rather than books by Nietzsche if you need the crutches.
Where is PhD guy to inform us all?

>explain your interpretation of Nietzsche to me with rational argumentation and laborious citation
how terribly terribly un-Nietzschean!
>The man who is guided by concepts and abstractions only succeeds by such means in warding off misfortune, without ever gaining any happiness for himself from these abstractions. And while he aims for the greatest possible freedom from pain, the intuitive man, standing in the midst of a culture, already reaps from his intuition a harvest of continually inflowing illumination, cheer, and redemption—in addition to obtaining a defense against misfortune. To be sure, he suffers more intensely, when he suffers; he even suffers more frequently, since he does not understand how to learn from experience and keeps falling over and over again into the same ditch. He is then just as irrational in sorrow as he is in happiness: he cries aloud and will not be consoled. How differently the stoical man who learns from experience and governs himself by concepts is affected by the same misfortunes! This man, who at other times seeks nothing but sincerity, truth, freedom from deception, and protection against ensnaring surprise attacks, now executes a masterpiece of deception: he executes his masterpiece of deception in misfortune, as the other type of man executes his in times of happiness. He wears no quivering and changeable human face, but, as it were, a mask with dignified, symmetrical features. He does not cry; he does not even alter his voice. When a real storm cloud thunders above him, he wraps himself in his cloak, and with slow steps he walks from beneath it.
