Where are the clothes produced? Couldnt find any info on that on the website.
Will the sword be back in stock soonish?
It looks to be a Hanes 5180 tee, a bit oversized but very comfy and heavyweight. @@JupiterMan98
I absolutely LOVE that golden yellow longsleeve shirt that says "I hope that your masters suffer" I think this is my second time saying it but damn if it isn't one of the best looking pieces of merchandise I have ever seen for RUclips channel. (Or a metal band!)
Please restock the sword 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I just want to say this is one of those hidden gems of RUclips. The quality of these videos and the thought provoking topics are just so good
700k subs is hardly hidden
I couldn't agree more !!!
100% agree
Over 600k subs is not a hidden gem 😅
@@agingerbeardbro, it is. It's fuckin hidden from people which watch netflix, mrbearst or podcasts. This is fuckin revolution, which we don't see yet.
“When was the last time you did something that you would do forever.” is one of the most thought provoking sentences i have ever heard in my life. Your videos always leave that seed in my head that I can’t get rid of, keep making them
“When was the last time you did something that you would do forever.”

I just hit my bong when he said that I looked back at my bong and smiled 😂
As a father this is easy.

"Never meet your heroes" is a timeless lesson it seems.
also never meat your heroes
the cute ones are chewy
This is true on many levels and scenarios.
I recently reacquainted myself with the person I considered to be my best friend back in high school. Most assuredly, he was one of the most positively influential people in my entire life. I adored and revered him. In hindsight, he was better suited in that role from a distance, as one of inspiration and aspiration. I am since pained by how my perception of him has changed, and how it has tainted even some of my fond memories.
The zen koan version is cooler “when you meet the buddha, kill him”
What do you mean?
@@tellurianapostle Hard quote
It’s incredible to see how far you become. It was hard to believe just last year you were at 100k. Now you’re on the road to a million.
I KNOW! Even if he releases nothing for years, he's one of those far and few who still have my full attention and excitement when the next video gets uploaded. His work has the ability to secern top level "stuff" and the skill to assemble those people and ideas in a very approachable and valuable form. Some damn good essay videos!
It’s amazing to me how this man creates so many bangers that you can view completely free, how does he not have like a full scale Netflix series or something?
Netflix is not a good metric for success, and imo just enjoy this state of freedom, why would you want good things to be owned by corporations lol. It's a really odd comment, even though I get you mean it as a compliment to Horses.
Probably because there is no agenda behind his productions, just analysis and big picture questions. Ironically horses may be the 🐐
Because Netflix sucks
I really think we're overestimating the audience in all of this. Most people don't have the attention span let alone the curiosity to watch this channel.
Put simply, there's no demographic on Netflix for this type of content.
@@Coalemos Maybe because there is no content like this, is why there is no demographic for it?
We become what we consume, and if the masses are mostly given vacuous nonsense then no wonder people don't ask for something with substance. Without going off on one I think this is something that urgently needs correcting in society.
Great introduction to Nietzsche, the man and his work. For people new to him, I wouldn't recommend starting with Thus Spoke Zarathustra. It's difficult, full of symbolism, aphoristic. Start with The Genealogy of Morals instead.
Second this. I tried starting with Zarathustra and it was too hard for me.
I started with Ecce Homo. It was pretty fun because he explained his jokes throughout his work. He was a very funny performance artist
Go for Human, Alltoohuman instead of the Genealogy.
Zarathustra is basically the pinacle of his work, and should be read after having a wide understanding of his philosophy to understand his allegories and poetry
I would say Gay Science is easier to understand. But Genealogy of Morals is a good reading, and Beyond Good and Evil too.
@Horses, I truly enjoy your videos man. They are beautifully produced, from the design and art to the subtle-but-effective narration. They are insightful, well-researched, and extremely thought provoking. Plus you seem to have the same areas of interest as me, so every video has been a rad little gem. Please keep it up!
ty very much
Couldn't have said it better myself.
@@HorsesOnYT with which book should one begin to read Nietzsche?
@@johnmanole4779 Beyond Good and Evil is a common entry point to Nietzsche and modern philosophy in general
@@mcgrudo thanks.
damn dude. this was a therapeutic experience. just as you say reading his work requires ones own interpretation, so did watching this video. I struggle with addiction. From drugs to food to physical exhaustion, I seem to be white knuckling through every day hoping not to slip up. exposure to this idea, for what its worth in the moment, helped me reframe this anxiety and urge into something that lies outside of my actual self. it was a stark reminder of how gripping my thoughts can be onto my physical body, making me react upon urges to quell the pain, rather than to observe; hopefully to use as a catalyst into a better self. Thank you so much man. I really fucking needed this.
I also dont really know if anything i said makes sense from the context of watching this video, but this is what i got. so again, as abstract a it may be, thank you.
Embrace the pain, it makes you into a diamond.
My sanctuary, is being in, walking in nature, the forest.
Find yours, not in manic, or escaping way.
Love you.
You had me at “Burn it all down”
Keep spreading your message! WOW! ♥ the compassion you find for your subjects & the conclusions you draw about them as individuals.
that's very generous - thank you!
I have been bingewatching every video of yours for the last 2 days and this seems like a gift
I appreciate all the work that goes into the production value of these videos.
Holy hell my subscriptions are crazy the last 12h! Absolutely wonderful to see the wonderful videos today, and you're the cherry on top!
Thank you so much for your constant quality work Horses. Your videos are truly some of the best in the platform and deserve more recognition.
Hope you continue on this path.
This is honestly my favourite channel I watch and is one of very few that I click onto every single upload.
these videos affect me deeply. they're a piece of media that i can't watch at any time, instead something i have to kind of isolate and concentrate on, like reading a book or studying material. the knowledge you impart is so rich, so lush that i am often surprised at your ability to condense such potent information into a "short" piece of media like this. i imagine that the time you put into writing and editing these things is fitful because of how much your brain is working in a million different directions to understand the material at hand along with the billion different inputs available at any given time. THANK YOU for spending the time on it. -- also, completely surface level, superficial comment, but your visual aesthetic is an inspiration as well.
I want to say that of all of your videos this one was the most fulfilling. I hope you never stop publishing your essays I was almost brought to tears by your words. 11:32
My fav channel for all reasons mentioned plus your genuine humility is apparent.
I absolutely love your essays. I will continue to watch for as long as you post. Good work.
I go to your channel to finally find a calm moment throughout a never ending battle between stress and living. Thank you for revitalizing philosophy in a form that is very enjoyable to watch and listen to.
This may just be your best video. This channel continues to amaze me. Keep it up please: we are grateful we have found this space.
I live for this channel. Keep doing what youre doing ❤
Love your video essays. Your a pretty talented writer. I'm glad I discovered your channel a while back. Keep up the good work!
Love this channel! Just found you a couple days ago and have been on a non stop binge. I don’t think your music choice ever gets enough credit but it always fits just right. Thank you for these sir 🙏
Hey man great work once again! Love to see your content. Especially you choice plot throughout your storytelling, vocabulary and graphics. Keep it up, you are truly doing something unique and "right". Take care and be safe. Thanks a lot!!!!
Man, I love your videos on history and philosophy, they're so well edited and narrated and always get me thinking.
Extremely high quality every time, I always know I’m gonna have a good time watching when I get a notification from you.
Glad to see you still pumping, much love.
These videos are so beautiful and poignant, the writing is immaculate and beautiful. I can’t believe this channel is only one person, Horses has immense talent
Honestly I look forward to your videos the most on RUclips, favorite channel 🔥🔥🔥
Your visuals are so affecting and profound with what you’re saying you truly created something. Amazing here good for you.
Easily one of the best channels on the site. Absolutely amazing work, every time.
Thank you so much for the hard work and dedication that you put into this. It is truly a joy to watch.
That was an emotional chefs kiss. Thank you for the work you put into creating this.
Thanks for your work. You become my favourite channel
You’ve created something special here! Incredibly insightful and informative. I feel Inspired :)
This channel is so underrated. How is it possible to keep pumping such high quality videos at this pace?
I love Nietzsche’s philosophy. When I asked if a video was coming on Nietzsche, I knew if you made the video you would deliver. And so you have
thank you for your content. really gets the brain going. you can see the effort you put into these films and i don’t think you get the recognition you deserve. i hope one day you do.
Great video. I've recently got into reading for enjoyment again and have been considering tackling some of Nietzsche's work. This video was the sign I needed, thank you!
This is one of, if not the very best Nietzsche videos I’ve ever heard. Very unique perspective in the video (and quite a comforting delivery given the topic)
thank you for this wonderful little essay. nietzsche is unfortunately, despite all his fllaws, my favorite philosopher and it is so nice to hear someone approach his writings with the appropriate understanding that it must be interpreted and put into context. i discovered nietzsche during one of the darkest phases of my youth and his "euphoric optimism" as you call it here really helped me through some shit.
i just discovered your channel and the videos i've seen from you so far radiate creative energy, which is lovely, i don't think i've felt this inspired in years. thank you and keep up the good work!
This vid and O'Death are probably my favorite videos of yours
I’m not being hyperbolic when i say this is one of the best youtube videos i’ve ever seen.
Thank you! Nietzsche (well, first Kierkegaard and finally Wittgenstein) formed the bookends of my long years of academia. I love finding a responsible explanation of Nietzsche's thought, the incredible complexity--and, indeed, the therapy he offers for the frustrations and pain (the krankheit) of living now . . . still. It's amazing he speaks so immediately to people even today. Suscribed!
Just started to get more insight into different kind of philosophies/philosophers and this is exactly the video I was waiting for!
So impressed with the writing and voice over. It's a masterpiece.
For anyone bold enough to dive right into Nietzsche’s primary writings(not having read from a secondary viewpoint like a textbook.) I recommend first Genealogy of Morals, then Beyond Good and Evil. Then you can go into Twilight of the Idols and the Antichrist. Resist the urge to read Thus spake Zarathustra first! It might make no sense!
I actually read Zarathustra first, when I was sixteen. I believe I understood it pretty well for the most part. And while most of his works offer brilliant insights, Antichrist I remember thinking was kind of insufferable - it was boring, devoid of many of the gems he offered in his other works, and sounded honestly like a teenage edgelord trying to sound edgy. Again, this is only from vague recollection, but Antichrist felt platitudinal, try hard, and a watered-down derivative of his earlier work (if I recall, it was the last philosophical tract he wrote before his breakdown).
You need to read On The Use and Abuse of History for Life if you have any hope to understand Nietzsche. Also Ecce Homo, he explains his jokes in that one. Everything between those books is full of traps designed to make fun of and confuse the reader. Nietzsche was a satirist.
I also started with Genealogy of Morals. The rest of the order to me is more fluid but GoM is fundamental.
Thanks, man, for this amazing knowledge. Your way of interpreting ideas makes it more peaceful and persuasive. ♥♥
I'm out in my backyard watering my plants with my grandma and old dog. I look at my phone and see a Horses video dropped... I must be doing somethings right to be so lucky! Keep going Horses !!!
This is the best hidden gem on youtube. You have a great talent for making thought-provoking videos.
Such a beautiful video about such a beautiful philosophy. As always this channel produces pure gold, keep it up.
@Horses, you truely helped to deal with my depression with this video and 'You have to go to the unknowns'. I'm grateful, do what you're doing!
always enjoyed watching your videos, keep it up man!
First comment I ever write on RUclips , thank you for this video and all the work that you put in it. Every video of yours manage to expand the ways I think, even if I don't always agree with you. Thank you again and please keep it up and bring us more quality content like this!
You had to have been reading my mind...
I've been wanting to get into Nietzschean philosophy but I truly had no idea where to start. Along comes the greatest video essayist ever to save me from my research. Thank you Horses
There‘s no „Nietzschean“ philosophy, that‘s the first thing you have to embrace. Then you can really engage meaningfully with his ideas.
I am thankful for this channel. In a sphere of noise, aggression, and overstimulations, Horses soothes and repositions my brain for the better. And I'm gathering slowly that somethibg similar occurs for all of you.
Brilliant, especially knowing how hard it is to unpack a philosophy giant into a fairly short RUclips video! Well done!
You are the best at what you do, I love what you do keep it up man.
Yay I’m so happy you covered Nietzche! Your story and ideas remind me so much of my philosophy professor that taught me Nietzche, so it’s a lovely little full circle moment for me. ☺️
I LOVE your videos bro, keep up the great work 💪
So Like, I Found This Channel By Complete Accident( I Thought The Pfp Was Nerdstalgic) And Watch One Video, That's Was Like 2 Weeks Ago And Now I Can't Stop Watching These. Your Work Is Great, Very Informative And Educational, Thought Provoking And Intriguing! Glad I Found Your Channel!
Thank you so much for sharing this clear summary of these absolutely essential philosophies for humanity. I have never found such relatable content as your channel and this video.
Thank you.
The visuals for you videos are TOP TIER
It’s always an amazing day when Horses releases new content 😍😍😍
Please, more on Nieztche. Your videos are always amazing but this one is one of my favourites.
The great philosopher Robert Zombie once brought the Übermensch into the zeitgeist referring to it as "more human than human."
This was an absolute gem of a video Horses! Sheesh you’re such a talented writer
awesome background music and videos. great start to the video and it stayed high quality until the end. very great topic and all the things brought up in the videos... just so much compliments. you contributed a little in people becoming more aware of "ubermench" philosophy. enjoyed it thank you goodbye
Another amazing video from this channel. With your videos I'm constantly rewinding to relisten and consider the points you make. Everything you say is carefully considered and you have a special talent for connecting the relevant dots, and you also make great visual presentations. I assume you work as a professor? You have an incredible gift for teaching.
Hi, thank you sincerely for the kind words. I don't currently and have never worked as a professor. Far from it -- I didn't go to college and barely graduated high school, haha!
-Michael
@@HorsesOnYT So it is with many of the brilliant people I've met, our public education system isn't identifying and nurturing so many young people with incredible potential. Your presentations could easily be used in college classrooms, but you've found your calling as a teacher for thousands of us here on youtube, I think that's even better.
Your content is at least among the best on youtube
Your videos are great. Thanks for making them
As mentioned in the video, Nietzsche's writings tend to be viewed as having a more pessimistic feel. Personally, I've never seen them that way, it was even pointed out in the video. Nietzsche's concept of the ubermensch in itself says that it can be done, and that, in time, people could achieve such a state of being. It could be fun to explore the opposite side of this with Nihilism and Pessimism. With writers like Schopenhauer, Cioran or someone not very well known like Caraco, who paint a much bleaker picture of reality.
Somehow, I never could agree with the philosophy of Nietzsche because it would open me up to the possibilities of becoming better, but at the end of the day, the experience of being alive would always bring me back to the pessimistic way of thinking and living. It's not really a doom and gloom way of thinking, but more of a sober look at reality and realising it sucks. How can someone think that humans can become more when every single day we prove that we are nothing more than very destructive animals?
Hard to believe that humanity is in a gods image. At least not of an all loving and all knowing one.
@@johnstewart2143it's very easy to believe that we were. a creator's benevolence necessitates that he endow his sentient creation with the freedom to depart from it's intended function, and the tools with which to return.
@@dawsontankersley4286 a creator didn't have to create temptation, sin, suffering, disease, starvation, brutality and an eternal punishment, but an evil creator would. If this was all created it was created by evil.
“When was the last time you did something you would do forever?”
Right now. I watched this video 😅
Unbelievable as usual thank you! The timing of this Nietzsche episode is insane, reading Zarathustra rn
I just came from your Nero video, and now I'm pretty sure I've just found an absolute gem of a channel--nay, a person. I assume you both write and narrate. Wonderful work, sir.
Discovering this channel was one of the best things that ever happened to me
Makes my day when I see a Horses posting. Doesn't matter the topic, it's gonna be an excellent watch.
Surprised to find out how much I agree with F.N. Sound thinking, all of it and I absolutely love your work on this!
Love it. I like that you mentioned the idea of repetition, that everything keeps repeating itself, and we should be smart enough to understand how to get out of the circle of these repetitions, how to learn from history and notice the common mistakes we make as individuals, as a society, and as a whole world . Even a small shift in the circle is a new beginning that creates a spiral, and a spiral is already evolution, not repetition, not walking in circles.
Less than a year ago… at least I think.. you had under 100k subs. Sir, this attention is so well deserved. You’re phenomenal at making interesting content. I thank you kind sir
Great work as always man!
If you ask me marcus aurelius is a prime example of the uber mensch as a man who truly existed
One of my favorite channels in such a short span of time. Thank you!
Its crazy how fast this channel is growing, I remember when you were at around 80k not ao long ago, would love to see a re upload on "Madame X"
Some of the most hard hitting and beautiful writings ive ever read. His will to power is the answer many people of my generation are close to uncovering. I believe his writing was the spark that many years later will create the society of individuals that will erase the chaos of the last 100 years. He and I both have a boundless optimism for the future of man, that one day soon we will learn to to be super.
Loved this video. Thank you!
I’ve loved Nietzsche since I was introduced to his work while earning my German degree and I absolutely agree it’s a massive tragedy that he’s seen as a nihilist. When I started reading his work I was surprised at how positive his ideas ultimately were and I think a lot of younger people would really resonate with his ideas in our strange post-post-modernist world.
true, i started reading nietzsche and i felt the same way
this is currently my favorite channel, love the merch. was curious if you had any plans to do a video on Hegel?
Excellent as always. Thankyou. ❤️
Please keep uploading in 4:3, I love you for it
Horses is such a great name for this channels I can’t fully describe why
Horses for courses
10/10 video, love your style
This is brilliant!, thank you so much, I hope you do one for Camus too!
You truly have a way with words. Great work…
Beyond-human might be a helpful English translation. Very well made video, I really find these enjoyable, informative, and too aesthetically on point
This is such a powerful video. These are the kinds of videos that keep me coming back to youtube even with how much I despise google.
These videos give me solace, thank you horses.
I just started reading a book about him today. You're creeping me out but i like it
