In early elementary school I came up with the theory that I was the only "real" person (i.e./e.g. a conscious individual with subjective experiences) that existed. Nowadays I know this is an extant theory called "Solipsism", but I had invented it independently of any outside philosophical influences.

goes to show you the intellectual maturity of solipsism

i think he stands as a pretty prime example of what not to do. thought is an asset but it can also be a trap, and a cage. if he hadn't spent all of his time up in nihilism orthanc and had instead explored the vastness of middle-earth he might not have turned out as such a douche.

lol wait wut nietzsche is pretty much the frodo of philosophy, fucker carried the ring of nihilism all the way to mount doom and it destroyed him

dude hated nihilism, or at least being called a nihilist. He was all about the reevaluation of taken-for-granted values and prejudices, and found meaning and purpose in the human analog to drama and the participation in social interaction (even though he loving sucked at it).

he took one for the team by wrestling with the horrible venomous snake of resentment and, in killing it, was killed by it; the life-affirmation he constantly sung about was not for him but for the future, his tiny experiences of it were the exhilirating and painfully joyous gasps of air a drowning person gets while being slowly exhausted and finally pulled under

yeah but you shouldn't since his work is not superficially systematic and is very personal, which disqualifies it as "philosophy," also he spits whenever he says "logic" and keeps eating the cake of "truth" even though he knows it goes straight to his rear end

Actual lol at the cake bit

Yeah his work is more like a kind of odd prose rather than philosophical treatise, but its philosophical implications are probably more powerful and actually useful and applicable to real life than anything his forerunner Kant ever did so


Some people think Nietzsche is real hard to read but then you show them Kant's metaphysics and the categories and they literally poo poo their own brain out

Actually they are better as epistemologists than just regular epistemologists since the regular ones don't check that their logic is sound

What's that got to do with anything, though? They're philosophers, not rock musicians. It doesn't matter how boring their lives were, only who got it right in the end.

You honestly believe a philosopher could offer informed advice about the fundamentals of life and nature without having experienced them? They would never know the correct questions to ask.

Did you learn everything you know about sex from listening to kids on the school bus, too??

Do you believe human sensory experience is actually extensive enough to derive much of anything of value from it? That's seriously provincialist.
