The most honest thing to ever happen online.
Arguing on the Internet in a nutshell.
No it’s not
just in case some of the younger folks don’t get the reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohDB5gbtaEQ
Have you ever argued on the Internet?
Oh look, this isn’t an argument.
Yes it is.
No it isn’t. It’s just contradiction.
I’m not gonna argue on the Internet if I have to pay, you know.
Look, I don’t want to argue about that.
you know
No I don’t
I watched The Good Place, does that count?
Ugh, this is the exact thing Nietzsche was talking about.
No he didn’t.
Have you read his works?
No. Have you?
No.
(I did Philosophy undergrad and honestly never read a single Nietzsche work. Have to look up his name to spell it correctly.)
My philosophy professor once joked that there was no point teaching neitzsche anymore since coke and heroin were illegal. He also call him knee-cheese whenever he was brought up, for fun.
Oh I love philosophy professors and their personal hot takes! I had one that was obsessed with Heidegger and used half a lecture to argue with himself about his nazi allegations. Amazing to see in person
edit// uh. that probably sounded a bit too cryptic if someone doesn’t know who Heidegger was. He was a nazi, but the controversy in philosophy is how much it affected his work
You know, Quasimodo predicted all this
no he didn’t
You both are wrong
Have you read their works?
no, have you?
No.
And then they kissed.
So, you prefer Freud to Nietzsche?
I ship Freud/Nietzsche.
doesn’t matter if you read it or not, it never makes much sense until it does and then you are basically beyond mentioning it in polite conversation
(you know who has read it and who hasn’t after you have read it)
I tried to read it, but I was filtered by the first chapter being a rant about how no one wanted to buy his books. (I think it’s Genealogy that does that?)
(you know who has read it and who hasn’t after you have read it)
By the hollow look in the eyes of the ones who have read his works?
“What should I have to give thee! Let me rather hurry hence lest I take aught away from thee!”
I resent the fact that I read him and understood what he was saying.
What I wouldn’t give for the blissful ignorance of those for whom his works are just word salad or the insane ramblings of a deranged lunatic…
I would trade my soul for that, only I already lost my soul by reading and understanding Nietzsche.
They should really put his books in the “restricted section,” sealed with an ouroboros, and a warning that says “the words contained herein are dangerous. Discretion is advised.”
