The selection of paintings just stunned me! Great work! Coincidentally, I finished my first reading of Thus Spoke Zarathustra just a couple of days ago, thank you so much for this upload! As always, great content, real intellectual nourishment.
i made a religion about teleological engineering to avoid technonihilism as we approach the singularity. this extends the path provided by nietzsche's work. te.xel.io/posts/2017-02-07-oneirontology-semiotics-karma-and-moral-consequentialism.html
Have a question @academyofideas Throughout meaning readings of Nietzsche I've noticed that there's an element or a hint of his hopes of transcendence of men being the next Evolution stage of evolution and even hints of eugenics. And I understanding this right. And I also understand that all his books was published after he passed away and his secretary was the one who published them after his death can that have any influence on his writing?
No, everyone should have a copy of the book "The Holy Grail is Found." Because, with "Thus Spake Zarathustra" Nietzsche tries to substitute for absolute Truth with intellectual maneuverings that lead one full circle, back to the questions that are answered nowhere in his work, but ARE answered in "The Holy Grail is Found."
I don't particularly care what you cannot accept, I am on the left hand path now and am very much so declaired for What you Christians refer to as the Devil.
Left hand path, man. I am both God and the Devil to myself, but not to anyone else. People have hard time dealing with this, which isn't really my problem.
It is hard to simply spew them out and expect people to understand. Unless you are used to operating in a framework in which they are beget - and that's something you have to be predisposed for - you won't be able to relate, not even in the least. Even Nietzsche himself had said it: "One has to be born for it."
Havnt read the book, but all I can say is that mankind has never changed, and probably will never change. When you see how greek philosophers describe the world its really obvious it never changed.
Smart by Design It is quite fascinating. Nietzsche wrote perhaps a good 100 years before his time. The consequences of living in a world were god is well and truly dead and in which mankind is completely on it's own, is only now beginning to dawn upon us. His solution to the problems the death of god causes are more relevant than ever.
"Do not reject the hero in your soul. Keep holy the highest hope." Thank you again Academy of Ideas. I can feel the urgent truth in these messages. I get the encouragement and insight to continue cultivating the inspiration needed, not only for my creative endeavors, but to push forward in a mindless, soulless culture where almost all forms of art have been rendered profanely distorted products made by corporate owned puppets... especially music. Yet, people are starting to wake up.
understandable - To be a bridge you somewhat isolate yourself from the herd ( mentality ) , refuse easy rewards as much as possible and strive overcome your own flaws as good as you can. That is hard work and only a few have the ears to listen to you and your ideas. This causes pain and needs strength - hearing these words and ideas spoken out loud and feeling yourself being spoken to or recognized as said bridge , touches in a most profound way. It gives a glimps of meaning and reassurance to the ones seeking more and facing questions that seem unanswerable. - I for one , feel that way. Not in an arrogant and selfserving way ( at least i try not to ) , but as a self aware individual longing for likeminded people to share thoughts and conversations about ideas that frighten , bother or inspire me the most. ... or something like that
I think I understand now why Nietzsche went mad, his mind tried to penetrate the infinite, each time he lifted a veil there was another veil in front of him and so on and so forth ad infinitum, thus leading to his madness. To all those who are going to adopt Nietzsche's worldview and philosophy, here is a warning from the man himself, "And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you." -Nietzsche
If people are interested in Nietzsche, Gregory B. Sadler is doing currently a series on Nietzsche's core concepts in one of his works. Big recommendation.
Schopenhauer: "Quite ordinary and shallow men are able to produce books of very great importance because of their matter, which was accessible to them alone. Take, for instance, books which give descriptions of foreign countries, rare natural phenomena, experiments that have been made, historical events of which they were witnesses, or have spent both time and trouble in inquiring into and specially studying the authorities for them. On the other hand, it is on form that we are dependent, where the matter is accessible to every one or very well known; and it is what has been thought about the matter that will give any value to the achievement; it will only be an eminent man who will be able to write anything that is worth reading. For the others will only think what is possible for every other man to think. They give the impress of their own mind; but every one already possesses the original of this impression. However, the public is very much more interested in matter than in form, and it is for this very reason that it is behindhand in any high degree of culture. It is most laughable the way the public reveals its liking for matter in poetic works; it carefully investigates the real events or personal circumstances of the poet’s life which served to give the motif of his works; nay, finally, it finds these more interesting than the works themselves; it reads more about Goethe than what has been written by Goethe, and industriously studies the legend of Faust in preference to Goethe’s Faust itself. And when Bürger said that “people would make learned expositions as to who Leonora really was,” we see this literally fulfilled in Goethe’s case, for we now have many learned expositions on Faust and the Faust legend. They are and will remain of a purely material character. This preference for matter to form is the same as a man ignoring the shape and painting of a fine Etruscan vase in order to make a chemical examination of the clay and colours of which it is made. The attempt to be effective by means of the matter used, thereby ministering to this evil propensity of the public, is absolutely to be censured in branches of writing where the merit must lie expressly in the form; as, for instance, in poetical writing. However, there are numerous bad dramatic authors striving to fill the theatre by means of the matter they are treating. For instance, they place on the stage any kind of celebrated man, however stripped of dramatic incidents his life may have been, nay, sometimes without waiting until the persons who appear with him are dead."
So, I really am one of the few. It's been developing for a while (I could look at it as my entire life) , but the past 6 months have been an opening to who I have become because of your channel.

I realized I was paralyzed and everything was normal I could see as if I was awake but I couldn't move. I woke up and the 15 mins I was asleep felt like 15 mins. I know that evil will always be by my side... its just when I heard it in this video it gave me a huge rush of tears and emotions. Through the 12 steps in AA I am recovering but I've made huge strides in fulfilling my destiny. no friends no kids no gf no pets outsider 32 yrs old(Source: for uniqueness). Here I am I guess haha
The words or Carl Jung and Nietzsche speak directly to my soul. I am grateful for their passionate message to humankind, and for this RUclips channel… which has managed to introduce me to them. I am beginning to feel great hopes for the future; my path has never been so clear. I wish upon you all great strength and self-knowledge… for it is us, seekers of truth that will shine a light during these times of darkness. It is highly probable that we will fail, but it is our duty to try.
Liberty Infinite being intelligent at all is a curse in my opinion, can you imaging how great it would be to be so unaware that you can just happily stumble through life without knowingly rejecting your potential?
God, your videos have profoundly served as a positive catalyst in my life with THE specific momentum I needed to plunge through a plateau that could've arrested my development for quite possibly the rest of my life because I was unaware until it was brought to my conscience. Thank you is my understatement of the decade. I will forever be in debt and repay your karma to anyone in need of the same kind with mine until I die. What a great difference you've made! Thank you!

When he says none of you are Overmen (a translation I prefer to Superman), he's talking to characters that represent his own weaknesses, as well as his flawed teachers. He isn't really saying that modern man can't be Overmen, but that he must himself move beyond these flawed caricatures to become the Overman (essentially, the Overcoming Man; He who overcomes himself over and over). It's purely psychological. Zarathustra himself does become the Overman in the end.
"They will die a death that will last millennia, until all that remains is their code, their history, and in the end, the shell of their armor upon the shell of a man, too easily slain [...]" -Kreia-
Amazing. Absolutely fascinating and shows what more a person can do upon themselves to achieve the greatness they need to achieve towards pursuing who they are as their best self
He said before he went mad the tragedy is not that God was dead but rather that ppl go on worshipping a dead God. To bee appreciated one cannot interpret 'God' as literal deity but projections of the human psyche.
Amazing! Insanely well done. The art and quotes take this to the next level. Great voice and teachings. Subbed and notifications on! MOAR! Some Wittgenstein would be sweet, he has some great stories too. At least outside of his writings. Quotes and photos would work well with Ludwig too.
i want to give recognition to the narrator. it sounds to me, he understands perfectly what he is reading. that's not always the case. i'm sure i'm not the only one who noticed that.
As I am watching the screen but unloading the dishwasher, my eyes fixed on the words on my cell phone. "bridges to the Superman"....I feel the cool, slightly-still-wet ceramic in my hand that I've just reached down to be the next item I take out of the top shelf of the dishwasher..... and it is a Superman mug. The only one like it, all the rest are of a blue ceramic plain matching set. Of all the moments.
Reading the comments here...it is painfully obvious who has experienced the growth towards Overman and who is merely flirting with the idea on an intellectual level. The former have no doubt that they are a bridge - a prelude to better players - the latter still turn to mankind's old prejudices and are therefore trapped in a labyrinth.
greetings from 2020. this content is hitting hard in my time. I blame myself, for needing to witness examples of the Last Man to understand its depravity.
Have you ever thought about why one third of the angels (according to your holy book) turned away from your..god? There must be a reason huh? Have you even read the bible? I have many times, from genesis to revelation. It's a very twisted book, a godspell.
@@dnaya7750 Certainly, the fallen angels, just as fallen humans wanted to engage in wicked behavior and the Holy One demands righteousness. We all are given freewill. Our choice. I am just as weak, if not weaker, than any angel, but I have sought salvation through faith in the One who had given up His earthly crown that I may be redeemed.
9:09 “You are an ill made, spiteful little creature full of envy lust and low cunning…” I feel like GRRM read Nietzsche. Tyrion is an “evil dwarf” and incites the Mob to rage. I love how he represents the masses as madness.
I personally see the "Death of God" as the necessary or destiny of humanity. Just as Neitzche says we must become gods ourselves to find new meaning in the absence of the all mighty creator. The History of mankind is one of apotheosis. The Greeks said Zeus lived in fear of his children supplanting him and taking the thrown and power of their father, just as he did to his father and his father did before him. This fear is exemplified in their myths and their view of hubris as sin. As the downfall of hubris is always caused by the gods punishing those they deem "to step beyond their place". As the the titans overthrew their parents and created the gods. Only to be over thrown by their creations, so too the gods feared their creations, man. Today we see they were correct in their fear as we now stand at the precipice of our destiny. Having surpassed and killed God. Do we fall to our own creations or do we surpass ourselves and become something greater yet. If man is greater than God what could be greater than man? The Superman.
That was amazing. I figured out Schopenhauer today by the way. IDEA is consciousness (intent). WILL is unconsciousness. The IDEA is supreme over the WILL. This is why the Prime mover says “will you X?” and the receiver THEN wills what is asked and goes ahead and does X.
10:20 Talking on how to stop the want and result of man kind. Shows he knows the answer, expressing the arrow and its string. You need to hunt and fish and when you find fertile ground, plant crops with it. This action can be sustained for many thousands of years.
Two comments on this wonderful essay and its excellent art: the first is the low number of views: not many bridges out there, hey? The second is how funny the google adverts are when they are jammed into these profound truths: mine were Mac Donald’s and a ford pick up truck!
