  1. xytoplazm Can't back up your statements so you cower like a coward. Makes sense that a person with weak character wouldn't understand Nietzsche let alone general philosophy.

  2. Improve how you feel about yourself and perhaps you'll have more success in other areas. Self-love is crucial.

  4. I don't care what it tells you because you're a moron. No Youtube comment will "help society in anyway in relation to this problem of being addicted to our phones", and it's very stupid of you to assume that was my intention. It wasn't about "showing off" my intelligence either, because again that's a very stupid endeavor for Youtube comments. You're very insecure and idiotic, which is why you were offended enough to try to turn things on me. Dumb sheep easily offended reflex.

  5. Mannen 61 You're a moron who doesn't understand English.

  6. Nietzsche's philosophy was co-opted by Nazis. Many twist his philosophy to support their ideology because Nieztsche's bombast style and heroic sensibility is appealing.

  7. There are arrogant worms who are worms.

  8. First of all, that's only 1 study. There are many dubious studies that contradict each other. They aren't scientific facts that are peer reviewed and tested. Secondly, there is a big difference between vague laws and minor offenses. Jaywalking and murder are not the same. Stop reading fake news as facts.

  9. Clinton/Trump is not a lesser of two evils. Trump is objectively much worse than Clinton. Disappointed to see that political slant in the video.

  10. Predominant Dominant What's to explain? This is a completely incorrect assessment/interpretation based on incomprehension.

  11. You're a moron who doesn't listen properly.

  12. That's not the loneliness the video is talking about.

  13. That's nice but you're just picking and choosing and defining what is the "fundamental core" by your interpretation. Similar to all the denominations of Christianity being selective and claiming to the the proper faith . That does not define the main religion. Buddhism without your personal interpretations and practice is rooted in the metaphysical. Karma is not simply "cause and effect". That's a lie. You can not say meditation is nothing out of the ordinary when you do not know what is ordinary for every individual. That's a lie. The whole concept of buddhahood and enlightenment is metaphysical. You are full of errors and your bias with your years of studies has blinded you from being truthful. You're misunderstanding a lot. Nietzsche's idea of the Superman is nothing like becoming a Buddha. It's about one's psychology and values. It has nothing to do with bullshit "higher consciousness", chakras, meditation, or any other silliness. If you watch the video, it states that man cannot become the Superman. Higher types can strive to be the bridge. That's different than saying one can reach enlightenment and become a buddha. Nietzsche also points out that not everyone is capable of being a bridge whereas Buddhism with all its lies says anyone can reach enlightenment.

  14. That logic is flawed. The majority are law abiding and thus orderly. Laws are for the minority law breakers. Voting is meant to voice what the majority wants. That's what representation is about.

  16. So what are you going to do about it?

  17. Simpletons can't distinguish differences

  18. All these idiots claiming freedom is an illusion or not real. Go tied yourself up in the middle of a highway. Tell me freedom is an illusion then. Dumbasses trying to sound philosophical.

  19. xytoplazm It's people like you who should take their ignorance off the internet.

  20. La Serpiente You must inflate everything about you. Regardless, any alleged philosophy degree definitely doesn't show. What kind of "graduate in philosophy" resorts to Wikipedia and then misinterprets what it says. Any scholar or expert would disagree with you as does this video itself. More proof you're just a wannabe intellectual with an exaggerated ego. You derailed this a long time ago with your cowardice. You're a joke, a fraud, and greasy middle-class swindler.

  21. +666TheMetalmaniac666 You're taking visible way too literally which is stupid. Always check your own understanding firsthand.

  25. The leading scientific theory is that Nietzsche died of brain cancer. "A slowly-developing brain tumour accounts for Nietzsche's collapse and the migraines and visual disturbances."

  26.  @keyboardcorrector2340  You should have stopped at "I am dumb".

  27. Yes. We have the technology for citizens to vote on laws and policies directly. The problem is getting rid of the current system.

  28. tom io I'm not sure it's "improvement" rather than fulfilling my abilities.

  29. TheOfficialPixwel You're making assumptions. You know nothing about my "progress". Philosophy is the opposite of irrationality. Your decision map is silly and my argument isn't about the self, so again you're making wrong assessments. "Ideal society" and "perfected individuality" are unrealistic, naive concepts. Your answers aren't constructive when they are simplifications that aren't true. A "Jordan B. Peterson" fan: a layman's professor. Sorry, but I actually read the philosophical texts that informs his lectures. You aren't understanding the complexity of the issue, so yes the issue is you and what little you are offering with the air of arrogance and being "wise". Have you even read philosophical pessimism? A person who thinks pessimism is useless can't be close to being truthful.

  30. TheOfficialPixwel "If you'd rather burden yourself constantly with useless pessimism". Your words and judgement. Oh, and more accusations of projection and fallacies. How predicted and ironic. I'm not overwhelmed at all by your false claims, but thanks for yet another assumption about how I am. You're understanding so little that you seem to think I'm against suffering. No, I don't care for your "friendliness" and my objection is that I don't regard it as advice or meaningful. "Inner peace"? lol, there's that trite spirituality. No, I don't care about "inner peace" either. So you've been quite off with your judgements which calls to question how flawed your perception is and it's becoming clearer.

  31. Conky Souls Infinite It's not all external influences. There is definitely something inherent in people who are able to think against illusions on their own and that's more powerful than adopting information that dispels illusions. People who simply adopt new information can always be deceived and radicalized in their thoughts. For example, many atheists become hardlined and begin to "worship" their atheism without recognizing its limitations. They haven't really improved their character by adopting atheism even if atheism is a more truthful position. What if the same stupidity that generates illusions in society is the same stupidity that falls prey to them. It's not that individuals improve who they are, they adopt new information higher people have revealed to them. Same herd, different feed. The shepherds are still on their own, and society can always go backwards.

  32. I am sure I'm not projecting because I know myself, and I haven't denied my shadow. Asking me if I'm projecting is a dumb reversal, and it's exactly what I predicted in my first comment. First of all, what am I projecting? Secondly as the video explained, it's projection if I deny it in myself and accuse others. When have I denied my flaws? "Why do I believe excellence is valuable?". Excellence is a value of mine. It is a value not a belief. If "pissy" is how you interpret it and that bothers you, I'm not the one who needs a laugh. You need that as a coping mechanism. Tone doesn't affect my judgement in arguments. Maybe you need to grow a spine.

  33. Another idiot going on a tirade of accusations without ever addressing what's been said or using logic to show my statements are false. The amount of stupid people with their stupid interpretations and their weak responses doesn't make their claims true. A whole mob of morons can come after me. It makes no difference, and their numbers doesn't make them right. "Strong people don't give fuck that society will never be indestructible." You aren't aware how stupid that sentence is not only in delivery but in substance. "Indestructible" is nonsensical word usage. You're yet another idiot who's too weak to recognize your weaknesses. There is no "leeway" when it comes to truth.

  34. You both have the most in common in my thread: pointless, hypocritical, and regressive. Two insecure idiots thinking they can have an effect on me that's purely retaliatory. You both quickly started using profanity dropping all pretenses of decorum. Weak psychologies bearing stupid behavior and thoughts.

  35.  @niallquinn9128  Your "unique experience" is that of a moron.

  36.  @niallquinn9128  "I'm too smart for my own good" is something a moron would say. Also, reading doesn't make you smarter, and you have no idea what my education is so that's yet another stupid claim. "Individual experience". Wow, what an insightful comment. No, moron. That's obvious common knowledge. You should read more so maybe you can add something of value.
    2
  37.  @niallquinn9128  No, I judged your low intelligence based on the response you decided to type. Now you're pretentiously rambling with projections as a defensive reflex. All this points to your lack of perception. You're not as smart as you think you are. Maybe you're a narcissist.

  39. Except Buddhism is metaphysical garbage meant for those who want to stay asleep.

  40. +Source Intelligentsia Well, you would be wrong. Christians would say the same about Christianity and any other believer would say the same about their faith. It's still metaphysical garbage that isn't real. This is philosophy and about the truth. I hope you know the difference between religion and philosophy.
    2
  41. +Source Intelligentsia That's poor logic. A specific piece of doctrine doesn't refute that Buddhism has a metaphysical basis. Your view of truth is too distorted.

  42.  @thatsfunk22  Actions are what count and really matter. That's what accomplishments mean. No one can know what their potential is. All you can know is what you actually do. It's pointless and impossible to imagine what potential is. You're just fantasizing and not being realistic. Stop lying to yourself to boost your ego about doing nothing.
    2
  43.  @thatsfunk22  Your example made no sense as I already explained. It doesn't matter how many people know. That's not potential. If you actually beat them many time in a race, that's already a fact of your ability. Losing the Olympics is another fact and a different challenge. You can't say you would have won the Olympics. It's a different stage with more pressure and different factors. You're not entitled to win just because you have the ability in one area. There's a reason why you lost and it's something to improve on. Showing that you have ability is not potential. It's something that has already been known and accomplished. Potential is if you never raced before and you claim you can win.

  44. undertakersarmpit WTF is metaphysical freedom. We're talking about reality and society not your make believe fantasies.

  45. towardsthesun No, I'm disappointed he doesn't think Trump is worse than Clinton. First of all, you don't know my political views nor have you shown them to no be objective. All you're doing is projecting. And, you're clearly partisan since you're being irrational and offended.
    2
  46. You sound like a child. I don't prefer Clinton over Trump. She's simply the better candidate. Her policies are nearly identical to Bernie Sanders and Barack Obama. They are not both establishment figures. Clinton is. Trump isn't. This is his first time as a politician. How do you not know that? You're too ignorant to take seriously at this point.

  47. That is why the subtitle is "A Book for All and None". It is only for the very few who apply Nietzsche's wisdom to become bridges to the Overman.

  48. lol that was a tall tale Newton elaborated on, and no, that was just the spark of an idea. His discovery was the work he put into proving it mathetically.
