  1. The point of imagination. Everything is more intense,better or worse. The relieving magic of defense mechanisms.

  2. I read Him everday for about a year. All his most important concepts from Birth, Geneology, Gay Science, Case for Wagner. All i remember unfortunately are some reflections on Dionysus, Master/ Slave morality, critique of German Nationalism (his repudiation of Wagner), and the Ubermensch.

  3. Im about complete freedom within the limits of the law which for the most part is an exercise in the Golden rule. Government and politicians have thrown some major shit in the game by playing favorites and pitting groups against each other. Hence now no one trusts no one and identity politics has become the norm once again. Government cannot control us without these systemic problems they create to empower itself.

  4. I particularly like the two world realities initially introduced by Freud.In Nihilistic terms it makes sense to separate the child mind and the adult mind to explain the course through a whimsical meaning of life to gradually settling on stark reality that none of it really matters- Been there done that. To keep that inner spark alive means simply to appreciate and strive to maintain that child like innocence and seriousness we had as young lovers.

  5.  @cj-nyc2057  Excitement. Privelage is boring . Especially for young people looking for the next thing. Same thing with politicians and vice.

  6. Nothings changed. The humans most in touch with their instinctual talents will always prevail i.e beyond good and Evil .

  7. He certainly made the best out of a horrible experience. Another way to find meaning is scapegoating. Transferring all your insecurities ,self loathing, and hostilities to a vulnerable victim.

  8. I have never joined in a mob for anything. No lootings, beatings,gang bangs. Not even a candlelight vigil. I believe there's always somebody who wants to assume control of the individuals taking part.

  9. He philosophized with a hammer. I think he would've rather been a womanizer. His writings are phenomenal.

  10. Essence in Sartrean terms is the product of living. That our experiences from the beginning of our lives have cultivated a unique sense of the self with a beginning, middle, and end.

  11. This should be taught in 3rd grade.

  12. If you want your kid to fail,get addicted, or knocked up.Public school is a winning strategy.

  13. Nobody invents an artificial barrier by himself. Consciousness is a manifestation of the I as both intrinsic in itself and as a vessel in of itself. It is being subjective in an objective world. Possibly, anxiety comes from being a failed objective in an artificial world.

  14. Niesztche's aphorism that a mans maturity may lie in the seriousness he once had as a child at play.

  15. Im too stupid to be fake. Im a terrible thief and liar. My ex wife could get me to fess up easy.

  16. It's the whole idea behind the classical Greek tragedy and the inspiration for the Birth of Tragedy.

  17. Everytime I escape reality it comes back with attitude.

  18. Some kids never had a home to start with. Alone from the start.

  19. Pleasure is wonderful. A good schtoop and she's glowing. You're a God.

  20. Every civilization begins morally sound and gradually declines into vice and apathy. Tribes on the otherhand are better able to maintain rituals and customs that maintain devotion and discipline generation after generation.

  21. Divergent diversions.Diversity is a strength.

  22. You can getaway with murder in a mob. People drawn to that type of action must be really screwed up. Nobodys finally getting even.

  23. I don't watch much t.v. Its all propaganda. Very vain propaganda.

  24. The David Koresh of Ancient Greece.

  25. Sounds like the sixties. He was at Woodstock.

  26. Miya El No ,the Kings are in exile for now. Too dangerous.

  27. Choose a group over your family. Initial feelings of liberating yourself makes you blind to new ignorance. Inversion of power is still power.

  28. Remarkable comment. Those toxic Tarantulas.

  29. Liberating. Positive? Depends.

  30. Origins my friend. A good start usually ends inadequate and a bad start leads to a better end. Ideally speaking, if you aren't killed or die young in which case Schopenhauer's representation and pessimism come to pass.

  31. Absurdity precedes devaluation, devaluation precedes nihilism.

  32. @Hello Human Who said sad or depressed. Nihilism is liberating. Could be merely accepting that the only thing that matters is the moment, this moment in which you are alive and conscious of the beauty or ugliness around you. Absurdity comes when you become the judge .

  33. Sartre psychotherapy is very elementary. Around the concept of bad faith how he defines it. Being as authentic as possible through self discovery and scrutiny. Every aspect of your life from profession to sexuality. How do you know your authentic if society, social constructs,determine your fate. We're always subject to a higher authority.

  34.  @kirstinstrand6292  How do you know you have enough empathy or compassion. Rely on someone else to tell you? I could really have fun with that.

  35. If the good of others means the end of me is not envy.Its tyranny.

  36. Dangerous. Nihilism results from exhaustively pursuing happiness. Entropy. How atoms are made. Forces combined from postive and negatively charged particles always end with negatively charged particles. Positivity and nuetrality are the result of negativity. Negativity is what we would consider repulsive or repellant. A state of nature.

  37. Cowardice ,avoidance, is a privelage. Life was so hard that once you succeed ,reverting back is terrifying.

  38. Gods are replaced by archetypes. I like Cleanthes .

  39. I dont have profound or original thoughts. Im only original in the sense that I didnt learn them.I lived them.

  40. I don't know what overprotective or protective is like. I know neurotic. There's a certain level of sophistication and integrity to parenting for the simple sake of the child that is empowering. Otherwise you could just be projecting your own insecurities and scapegoating for your own well-being at the expense of the child.

  41. Nietzsche would be mortified today. His definition of Ubermensch has created a parasite at the top of the foodchain.A servile host.

  42. Waste not want not.

  43. It actually doesn't. In fact it may contribute to deliberate decline.

  44. Philosophical mysticism. Metaphysics and Phenomenology. The epoch for example or intentionality as transcendent - Mystical.

  45. Pioneer. A very important historical figure.

  46. Cravings

  47. Philosophy is a sand castle. From the imagination back to the imagination. With each idea and concept the sand castle gets washed away and built again. In the end we settle on nihilism upon realizing its only a sand castle until the tide sets in. Spirituality is a phenomenon of the individual that gets it energy from the collective. We all have this inclination and in numbers it becomes real for us .The Spiritualist would say essence precedes existence but the self aware logician would beg to differ . The reality is both .Paradoxically meeting the criteria for phenomenon. All contingencies and intentionalities met for the existentialist. Everything applies both to the individual as well as the collective as object to object and subject to subject. So you see why we end up in nihilism.

  48. Change or rather life happens whether one accepts it or not.Find solace in tolerance and security in the fact that life is innately good and a worthwhile experience with no guarantees of lasting success.

  49. I could never pin down metaphysics. I could give you the meaning as the philosophical study of the natural world but i couldn't gve you a concrete example. Phenomology, existentialism, would be in my opinion examples of metaphysics but humans and their intrinsic connection with the world is above my pay grade.Irreducible to consciousness and subjectivity.

  50. I don't think it was syphilis. I think it was just loneliness. A lifetime devoted to developing his ideas, defenses and discipline .Lucky for us he was an amazing instructor and writer.
