The Philosophy of Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

[UintatheriumParticipant 1861]

Hi guys. I thought I’d make this thread to talk about Friedrich Nietzsche. He was a MGTOW philosopher before MGTOW was a word.

Nietzsche was a rabid “misogynist”. His positive qualities do not end there.

Nietzsche was also responsible for inventing the phrase “God is dead.” Nietzsche was also critical of rationalism because people are not naturally rational. He encouraged his readers to be imaginative, creative freethinkers.

He was also one of the first people to say “There is nothing wrong with being selfish.” Thus, he laid the groundwork for modern libertarianism.

One of the most common myths about Nietzsche is the myth that he was a proto-Nazi. In reality, Nietzsche admired Jewish culture because he saw it as individualistic. The “Nietzsche was a Nazi” myth was invented by Bertrand Russell, who was a degenerate mangina cuck.

Some Quotes by The Man Himself:

“We are responsible to ourselves for our own existence; consequently we want to be the true helmsman of this existence and refuse to allow our existence to resemble a mindless act of chance.”

“One will rarely err if extreme actions be ascribed to vanity, ordinary actions to habit, and mean actions to fear.”

“He who lives as children live — who does not struggle for his bread and does not believe that his actions possess any ultimate significance — remains childlike.”

“What is now decisive against Christianity is our taste, no longer our reasons.”

“Love is a state in which a man sees things most decidedly as they are not.”

“Women are considered profound. Why? Because we never fathom their depths. But women aren’t even shallow.”

MGTOW: because you can (and should) say anything about a woman as long as she isn't within earshot

I haven’t dipped into Nietzsche in many years. Maybe a trip to the library is in order. Thanks for the tip, @uintatherium.

I like what he has done that in tribute to him I seek to become like the Uber mensch.

“The degree of introspection achieved by Nietzsche had never been achieved by anyone, nor is it ever likely to be achieved again.”
– Sigmund Freud

Any Rand was a huge Nietzsche fangirl as well.

Really? I thought otherwise.

Nietzsche’s rebellion against altruism consisted of replacing the sacrifice of oneself to others by the sacrifice of others to oneself. He proclaimed that the ideal man is moved, not by reason, but by his “blood,” by his innate instincts, feelings and will to power—that he is predestined by birth to rule others and sacrifice them to himself, while they are predestined by birth to be his victims and slaves—that reason, logic, principles are futile and debilitating, that morality is useless, that the “superman” is “beyond good and evil,” that he is a “beast of prey” whose ultimate standard is nothing but his own whim. Thus Nietzsche’s rejection of the Witch Doctor consisted of elevating Attila into a moral ideal—which meant: a double surrender of morality to the Witch Doctor.
– For the New Intellectual, Pg 36

Philosophically, Nietzsche is a mystic and an irrationalist. His metaphysics consists of a somewhat “Byronic” and mystically “malevolent” universe; his epistemology subordinates reason to “will,” or feeling or instinct or blood or innate virtues of character. But, as a poet, he projects at times (not consistently) a magnificent feeling for man’s greatness, expressed in emotional, not intellectual, terms.

The Objectivist, March 1968, 6

I love Rand and Nietzsche, However, they are not totally compatible.

Rand was more Utilitarian and her philosophy was designed for a more modern time, than the time when ol’Fred wrote his material. Rand didn’t really focus as much on Atheism and a dislike for Christianity as much as Nietzsche did, whom he attriubuted Nihilism was a result of Christian belief.
