Arguably the greatest philosophical genius ever to walk the earth. Below is a gem of his about "eternal recurrence." The lyrical brilliance and majesty of his writing is intoxicating.
-----------------------------------------------------
What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: "This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything unutterably small or great in your life will have to return to you, all in the same succession and sequence - even this spider and this moonlight between the trees, and even this moment and I myself. The eternal hourglass of existence is turned upside down again and again, and you with it, speck of dust!"
Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus?... Or how well disposed would you have to become to yourself and to life to crave nothing more fervently than this ultimate eternal confirmation and seal?

Arguably the greatest "couldn't get laid by regular chicks, so I had to bang syphilitics" to ever walk the earth.

You are obviously an intellectual paeon. Enjoy your mediocre existence, as you will be forced to relive it ad infinitum, forever.

Since you read Nietzsche so literally: would you rather live a mediocre existence, or flame out in an asylum w spirochete devouring your brain?

Neitsche was a fucking genious!

i think he was really bitter.

He was practically asexual, yet he died at 44. Syphilis killed him.

adonis the heckler thinks hes somekind of intellectual genius, philosophyNAD 'advanced' psychology is futile and gay, nothing is lamer than when douches bring up these drunken hacks as proof of their 'genius' (especially freud ::)) oh brother, gayer than justin timberlake's butthole.

Your fellow Squad member Jake stated in this very thread that Nietzsche is a "fucking genious." I guess you place him in this same category?
Your hostility to anything that smacks of higher education is telling.
Next time, think before you post.

I agree. I think Nietzsche was way over-rated. Ayn Rand blows Nietzsche out of the water, as does Aristotle 8)

right on the third count, wrong on the others.

dude was a nut, entertaining, but a nut.

In your opinion maybe. Ayn Rand took Aristotle's philosophy (partly) and made it a fully consistent, complete philosophy, with no contradictions or equivocations or other negatives.

taking something "as far as it can go" indicates an inability to think pragmatically. Nietzsche was somewhat guilty of doing the same thing, but he was a far better writer than Rand.

Sorry, but I'll never agree with you on this one 8)

Dang, some of you fellas are pretty deep with the Nietzche stuff....I only read what I had to in school (and that wasn't much).
Me, I find fart jokes and the occassional titty twister funny......AHAHAHA not a lotta depth.

I will agree with you that Ayn Rand was an excellent thinker. Very provocative.

its not that i dont know anything about this stuff, its just that i find it mostly pointless speculation, that can never really be proved one way or the other.

Nietzshe was a racist, syphlitic bastard.
You know, the original Getbigger. ;D

Crowley generously adopted tons of stuff from him as did Machiavelli.
The whole notion of attaining perfection within your limits was before it's time. Obviously a few people bastardazed the oncept but no one can deny it's importance.

I've read The Prince and The Art of War by Machiavelli.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Isn't "the art of war" by Sun Tzu?

Yes, I am staring at a copy right now.
-
Yes it is. But Machiavelli also wrote a book by the same name.
It wasn't very interesting in my humble opinion.
Sun Tzu's didn't do anything for me either.

Did you know that Wesley Snipes character was reading the book Art of War in Passenger 57 and a few years later made a movie called Art of War not based on the book?
-
I remember. Wasn't it with Sean Connery?

That's it! Danielson knows his movies.

Art of war is by Sun Tzu. Its outstanding short takes, for life, business,conflict,negotiations etc.
Nicoli(sp?) Machiavelli wrote- The Prince. Politics 101 by force, and otherwise.
