He neither chose to go mad nor get sick. Nietzsche was just unlucky. The fact that his ideas were not appreciated during his time was simply because he was highly original in his thinking and ahead of his time.
I think Nietzsche simply decided to go all the way deep inyo the depth of his soul, I mean even Jung did not want to go there, he even said that it wss in fact his wife and kids that prevented him to go all the way to the depth of his soul unlike Nietzsche who was lonely
A successfull philosophy wouldn't lead to sickness by definition. At least IMO. I believe Nietzsche's philosophy lacked the integral part of a conscious agent, extension to the environment. He lacked the unity that is present in the nature.
@@ModernTruthRevelation, he had syphilis at a time where there was no treatment or cure for it, you absolute clown. You don't get syphilis by philosophy.
He lived a pathetic life for you to be able to have that book on your hands. He sacrificed his life in the name of his beautiful architecture. How pathetic is that?
"There is a false saying: "How can someone who can't save himself save others?" Supposing I have the key to your chains, why should your lock and my lock be the same?" (Nietzsche)
Thanks for sharing your ideas. I had the same feeling after reading many things about Nietzsche. He was a looser in real life. He was great in the idealist world, the same world he hated -the academic world. Many comments here came from fans. They know less than a less fanatic. I suggest them to read Bertrand Russell's opinion on Nietzsche. Those opinions made us feel great even knowing Russell was right -when you're a young.
People in the comments are mad at what he is saying even though he is right LMAO Nietzsche fanboys worship him like a god and won't allow any criticism of him. What makes you think Nietzsche's philosophy wasn't influenced by his own personal life? Nietzsche said it himself "Every great philosophy so far has been ... the personal confession of its author and a kind of involuntary and unconscious memoir: in short, that the moral (or immoral) intentions in every philosophy constitute the true living seed from which the whole plant has always grown." Nietzsche's philosophy is, in some sense, a confession of his own unconscious mind. Its a window to the "resentment" he had in his own life. He wanted recognition and a wife but was rejected so instead he promoted solitude and the "Ubermench". He was inverting the values of his unconscious desires the same way Christianity inverts Master morality. What makes you think Nietzsche was immune to resentment? Nietzsche was like a doctor who first discovered and diagnosed a sickness in our culture: what makes you think he was immune to this sickness?
For one reason only does Nietzsche stand out among all philosopher hitherto,..his doctrine of perspectivism,. he knew there is no Truth to be found but it's all about my perspective and your perspective. For that alone he flipped Philosophy on its head, I think he is still not influencial enough yet, centuries to come when humanity have done away with dogmas he will be more influencial than the Greek trifecta.
Jonathan, did you just call Nietzsche a “looser”… That tells us a lot more about you than him, whose life and contribution was so unforgettable that here you are, standing in your little class room on RUclips 125years later.
I would say I think of status in a very technical analytical way, and I have a disability which has kind of kept me out of the world (and also when it was worse messed with my mental health in a way I don't think I perceived status at all). So not quite as bad as Neitzsche, but maybe a similar psychological mechanic. I have literally said before to people over email 'I did xyz so I did well in the social ritual'.
I'm yet to see someone successful credit Nietzsche's philosophies as being central to their success. He's unpopular in certain circles, but you'd think it'd be said be now if there were examples. People who are more morally reprehensible have been credited, so it wouldn't be absurd anyways. Or it could be that .... hmmm.
He's one of the most influential philosophers in history. You're a dude who talks about other ppl's ideas on RUclips. Just bc you stand in front of a large bookshelf and have decent production value does not make your argument here (a prolonged ad hominem with a really bad attempt at psychoanalysis) profound. Your click bait title will at least get you some momentary attention, so congrats on that. My guess is that was your real intention.
I mean to a degree that’s what Nietzsche did. You think it’s a horrible take that people apply Nietzsche’s own thinking against him? That doesn’t make sense. Nietzsche is not immune to his own writings used against him.
Lol no. Ted K was a political idiot who believed in his theory of tech destroying the world based on the false hypothesis of Overpopulation. An idea that was already seen as stupid in 1980s. He wanted to technologically revert because he felt it was putting to much strain on the Earth. He wanted to kill people for a false reason. He will have no impact on earth or this century. Vs Nietzsche who's impact is felt by everyone still today. With modern psychology, rise of (German) fascism, will to power, etc.
he would laugh at your presumptions of him being pathetic because he became what he called the the "child" and not the "lion", a pseudo-intellectual youtuber claims here, that he was. He would be unburdened by your judgments and values and he would still be content with the way he lived.

Jesus also lived a pathetic life and yet Western culture deeply values him. It’s a strange contradiction for sure. Christian conservatives would hate Jesus if he were actually reincarnated because he would be a left wing justice warrior.
@@kingkefa7130 Nietzsche's life was actually very robust despite having a neurological disease. He spent his summers in Switzerland and his winters in Italy and hiked regularly / brought weights with him wherever he traveled and influenced art, literature, dance, and philosophy for what will likely be the rest of human history. If anything, he should make you feel small and unaccomplished, especially with his handicaps.
While acknowledging that his philosophy was flawed, I must say the notion that he "lived the life of a loser" is silly. I'm in agreement with one commentator here who stated that the philosopher was unlucky and unappreciated on account of his originality. Like Van Gogh he was ahead of his time. He achieved incomparably more than all those conventionally successful people who left behind no legacy. If you're a fine poet, philosopher, and psychologist all rolled into one, and often cited as one of the 10 most important western philosophers of all time, you're beyond a winner in my eyes. Yes, the man had character defects - but then so did many geniuses. Being sickly, resentful toward women, self-publishing in themselves do not amount to a loser's life. This video is rubbish. What are the chances that the lecturer's accomplishments are even half as valuable as the eminent philosopher's?
@@parthdudani8429 wow, 1k likes. Still, Nietzsche was professor at 24 (2 years before this guy made professor) and influenced, art, literature, dance, and philosophy for what will likely be for all human history. He should make you try harder and want to be better, because he did all this despite a severe neurological disease.
Pathetic? He was often ill. Bad with women. With 30 he retired. He dreamt of the blonde healthy beast of Ubermensch who kills without moral when necessary and was only a loser.

Come to think of it, he will not only be more influencial than Socrates, Plato and Aristotle but he will be the centre of philosophy of that time

He lived a great life. Was top of class everything he did since a child, & overcame a genetic disease until it killed him like his father & brother.
Yeah, if it killed him, he didn’t overcome it
@ In spite of great suffering he persevered to produce the greatest works of Western literature. We all die of something obviously, few truly live.
@@bryanutility9609 Tell all that to @Kingkefa7130. Talking smack about your boy 🔥🚬
Friedrich Nietzsche was the youngest professor of classical philology HE served in the army dont say stupid thing
For the first half of it I thought this was a Royce du Pont type of guy but I guess he's serious
Plz do a vid on Nietzsche’s view of beauty / art and artist / metaphysics of creativity
Yes, even this young man own Nietzsche, without Nietzsche nobody would give a shit about him and his lectures.
Just seemed like he didn't know how to play well with other people. Stuck to his ideals that no one cared about.
