Please do not be disheartened by the low viewership this has garnered so far. It is the unfortunate RUclips algorithm. If you produce a few more videos in the series, I am sure that they will have a much greater reach, which they deserve. This short film is unbelievably valuable in terms of demonstrating the emotions the actual text aims to evoke in people. This can be a hard task to experience, especially for those who are not familiar with Nietzsche's corpus. Therefore, your work has the potential to levitate his magnum opus to new heights among modern audiences. Thank you.

Uberboyo be cringe with his shorts but this video is just pure Art good video if he would make just this videos without the useless shorts that contribute to a shorter attention time it would be good
Brilliant. Very unique. A minor thing: At 5:30 it's not time. Zarathustra said "I should go unless I take something from you." He is talking about old man's belief in god that Zarathustra might take (destroy) if he stays for long.
I recentlly went to Nice (France) and went hiking for a few days in the mountains along the coast. I was shocked when I realized there was a path called "Chemin de Nietzche" . I later noticed a sign that said he had been hiking there when writing this book. It was a big surprise, specially becouse I noticed it in the last day of my hike
This was completely enthralling. As others have said, if in anyway feasible, making one of these for every chapter would be a great boon. You'd reach many people who would never have read the book otherwise. In any case, phenomenal work.
The book has lived too long in the mountains. Its musings are lofty. Its message is clear. But they think it is a pastiche. Steph is doing exactly what Zarathustra should probably do next - learn the language of the audience. :) It takes a certain kind of chaotic bombast to intentionally create a depiction of the last man using AI, after all.
The matrix is physically possible. A Huxleyan nightmare where all men are too distracted and merely happy to ever rebel or become great. Darwinian evolution has its way with them, and in the end they end up like the pug dog, who cannot survive out in the forest like its ancestors, the wolves. It is unnatural and ugly and sick. It's a terrifying idea that a sick culture that lasts for 1000s of years might sicken up the species until previous possibilities for greatness become impossibilities. The pug dog can never be a wolf. It will only ever be a snack for some stronger animal.
This is so cool. To the whole ai art thing, pandoras box is open, theres no uninventing it, we can only lean in to it, use it as another tool. Very cool, man.
This book is, in my humble opinion, the greatest existing piece of literature. It has to be read in the original german language. It's even worth it to learn german only to be able to read the original. It is written in such a masterful manner that you'll just constantly smile and think you've been hit by a truck at the same time. There are also some mistranslations in this english text.
Absolutely astonishing that you used the Richard Strauss tone poem for the intro and epilogue Boyo! I just wish you would've used more of it! The Saint section of the tone poem has such a beautiful, flowery and safe comforting sound, it would've fit so perfectly for when the Saint talks of God. I only have good words to say about this little project of yours. One day when you're channel has gotten bigger and you've got a bigger budget, you should hire a complete team of animators and create a full on shortfilm of these first chapters of Thus spoke Zarathustra, now that would be a sight to see!!
"Do not give dogs what is holy; do not throw your pearls before swine. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces." -Jesus
Incredible. As the last man becomes more and more of a reality, our warrior soul is heading more and more towards the ubermensch. We are detaching from the rest of humanity, we shall become the true aristocrats of the future. The merchants are afraid.
I really hope you post this on your podcast. The background music compliments your theatrical storytelling. I really love that. This is great!! Reminds me of the podcast Tales. It really suits you.
I just wanted to say that the adaptation of the original text into a more digestible and poetic english is incredibly good, thank you stef. You seem to translate some sentences into words I would have not imagined.
Unsurprisingly so, as they have no way to recognize it. In the book, shortly after this scene the rope dancer tells Zarathustra to be grateful he was laughed off, and not lynched.
Excellent video and great choice of music! Thank you for this brother. Also had quite similar visions about the last man being this ugly blob bathing in sedating pink neon light.
10:20 Somewhere Nietzsche said that just because he can't open the lock on his own chains doesn't mean he doesn't have the key to the lock of others. In the german version, the village man says "We have heard enough of this Ropedancer, now let us see him.", which I have understood as them wanting Zarathustra/Nietzsche too demonstrate to them this Übermensch.
As a german, the english translation is kind of interesting. In the german version, in section 1 Zarathustra says that like the sun he has to "untergehen" which could be translated as "to go down", "to go under" or "to perish" (untergehen = unter ~ down + gehen ~ walk/go) Edit: I wanted to emphasise that untergehen has the meaning of perishing, since the noun "Der Untergang" basically means "The downfall"
Absolutely superb Steph - well worth the wait! Your channel and these animations will be the Rosetta stone for artists to come. Inspirational work that's helping to reawaken the soul of the west!
I found you yesterday searching up Nietzsche. After a single video I subbed, now I’m on my fourth video and I think I’m going to end up watching you all throughout the day. Your content should be on Netflix, sir.
This video was one of the best ones I've seen this year. The words of our favourite mountain incel spoken well, in an almost electric way. It has stirred something in my soul.
I just out of no where downloaded Thus Spoke Zarathustra and just the first part literally curb stomped my brain all over the pavement. Then i saw your video and I had to check it out. And it is by far one of the greatest video on YT. I have already shared it to wveryone I know and will be seeing more of your videos as i go forward with the book. Thank you❤
Bro when it switched to to the tech vibe i legit got chills. That was amazing. It is wild that this was written so long ago. I resonate so deeply with this story. Has anyone every seen how beautiful this place actually is?
OMFG! I cannot put my feelings for this video in any kind of words. I have been listening to the German audio book from Peter Wapnewski now for several years. He does a realy good job as a priest giving a speech like narrator. And so do you! Well done! Gfx, sound, music, narrator - ubercreative! I am going to recommend this to my non nietzscheesque friends! Thank you for this! Made my day!
This is fantastic, I can’t wait to take some courses on digital art. I want to see more of this series, people need to learn about the camel, the lion, and the child. That way people understand what it means to become the Ubermensh.
7:02 I find it *very* interesting that this AI would go for a face so similar to the Master of Ceremonies from Cabaret to represent man as compared to the superman.
I really liked this, my only recommendation is to slow down the animation in certain spots. The animation is really rapid in some slow spots and it's a bit hard to handle. Great work! Was an amazing watch and the art was 🔥
Beautiful work. Proof that AI can be used to galvanize human vitality as much as it can be used to destroy it. However, I think the cutting between different frames is a way too fast.
I've finally reached a point with Neitzche where I somewhat really see his perspective, I think lol. This really helped with my understanding of this book, thank you Uberboyo
This is great Stef. I still recognize you as someone truly on the same path of becoming an "Ubermensch" in our own way. Many other people here I feel just like thinking of philosophy, but not diving down into the abyss and putting themselves in danger in pursuit of their own hero's journey. For you, the humbler title of Uberboyo. For me, the slight hubris of PrometheanSol. That is our shared similar "ubermensch". Keep at it man, I'm looking forward to how we will share our struggles in pursuit of becoming a higher man in whatever of our definition. And you can be in await of my own creations as I continue to prepare myself. Looking forward for more!

Brilliant. Very unique.
