Nietzsche was brilliant in so many ways. He predicted the behavior that many of the young generation would fall into, that nihilism of the soul, long before the internet existed. He understood human nature on a deep and profound level.
"The Last Man" that Nietzsche spoke of is spot on for today’s society. Though I have always felt that Peterson intentionally refrains from fully explaining why Nietzsche disliked Christianity so much. He nitpicks specific quotes and ideas from Nietzsche and overemphasizes them to support his own beliefs. He never explains the full picture to his audience, sometimes even misrepresenting it entirely. Peterson probably does this on purpose as Nietzsche’s ideas and beliefs on Christian morality are almost polar opposite to his own.
Yes, Nietzsche did predict leftist bullshit, but he attributed it to liberal egalitarian thought which itself is rooted in Christian morality, all men are created equal and be altruistic type stuff. Nietzsche blanketed all this under what he called Slave Morality, and leftism is this taken to the logical extreme.
"All men are equal, so any social inequality exist because of evil people and so they must be removed, only then will we have an egalitarian utopia"
JP loves Christian ethics and sees it as the key to fighting leftism/nihilism and so never talks about how Nietzsche literally blames it for being the slippery slope into leftism.
Also the revaluation of values (flip your values and morality is a better translation) wasn’t something he predicted but something he thought up of as a way to get folks out the slave morality rut which dominates modern world. This entire redo of morality towards a “Will to Power” is what leads into the idea of the Overman (Übermensch).
Edit:
To elaborate on how modern leftism is based on Christian morality. Before Christianity the dominate morality of Europe was a might makes right type deal,
“The strong do what they will, and the weak stuffer what they must”
Literally a line given to a city by Athenian diplomats right before they exterminated them, they cited them simply being “weaker” than Athens as justification for this.
Back before Christianity, the "good" was the noble, the strong, and the powerful, the “bad” was what lacked these things, the weak. Christianity and Late Judaism, as Nietzsche held it, were born out of and spread by the slave class of antiquity. Out of resentment for their masters they created their own morality by flipping the dominate morality which subjugated them. They made being humble, empathetic, timid, kindness and weakness “good” and all things that the “master morality” held as good they made “evil”. They lacked power in this world so they gave themselves the power in the next, as in heaven for them by being weak and kind with hell for those who oppressed them. It’s all about resentment of the powerful, like what you see today in modern leftist thought.
I would recommend anyone reading this to read Nietzsche’s genealogy of morals, familiarize yourself with Nietzsche’s concepts yourself before questioning me as if I invented it.
Thanks for selling our government out to jews, chinese, Mexicans, and blacks. I love living in this country hehehee, I definely don't want this entire country to collapse.
@@WestlehSeyweldthis just sounds like a nihilist vent in regards to a religion they aren't a part of. Failing to see the point of the perpetual struggle of dealing with the evil people so defined by a liberal leaning ideology. What's the point? Well if you don't believe in Heaven and moral good that Christianity aims for then why would you go out of your way?
@@waynechrisco1163
Just go read Nietzsche for yourself, everything you mentioned is touched on heavily across in his writings. I am not gonna paraphrase for you.
@@WestlehSeyweldTotally agree with you, I'm quite aware of this in fact, thank you for mentioning. Also I would add that Nietzsche was was aware even of the irony in his own writing and knew that his writing could be considered a criticism of Western thought (like by Foucault) or otherwise misquoted. That's why in Twilight of the Idols he likened himself to a man in a garden full of statues, throwing rocks at them to see which break. He knew he could be construed as an ironic figure and felt that he had to embrace the fact. The fact that he inspired much of the conflict he predicted I'm sure would have been bizarre even to him.
Jordan's startin' to look like a wizard.
The death of wisdom is the biggest catastrophe as dr Peterson stated.
And what is wisdom?
Probably one of the most profound verses ever written in history if you can grasp it fully
“ fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom “
@@barrywhite36 Everyone thinks they have something insightful to say, nothing profound about it. A truly moral system requires consistency to function and you wont get that adhereing strictly to the jewrag/bible/quran. There are some downright evil prescriptions in there you will never convince me are acceptable.
@@grapenut6094 where do you get your moral compass from ? If your an atheist, you haven’t got one. Good and evil is just down to your opinion and interpretation
If you think your a bastion of absolute moral authority and light to the world , I would just say , we all have faults and all of us are blind to the evil in our hearts.
Whether you like to admit it or not , we all bend the knee to a god.
Some peoples god is money , some it’s lust . Or even worse , people that bend the knee to the state as the highest authority.
@@barrywhite36 This is ideological nonsense to me. You cant just divide by zero and then act like 2+2=5 is an acceptable answer throwing a tantrum like some toddler whos just been told that toy dont belong to him.
I own myself, your fist ends where my face begins, you spit in my face dont be surprised when I spit in yours. These are the types of values that kick started America, they came about despite religion and they arent yours to claim. Regardless where they came from, the enforcement of your beliefs comes from the state so thats your problem as well, its not unique to me.
Much like George Orwell, Nietzsche was a century ahead of his time.
damn near two centuries ahead of his time
We have "telescreens" in our pockets all the time, they can listen and know everythig we do all the time
Just like Kanye
Brother, Orwell was like two headed person. I do not think Nietzsche was like that.
@@sleeperino3054you must be joking
Nailed that one
It's easy to guess what would happen when the worship of the most high is replaced w self worship.
Yes, the death of community values. God connects us to one another and provides the context and foundations necessary to build strong communities. When self worship becomes the norm, the sense of community dies. Slowly and painfully. The fact of the matter is that humans are religious creatures - take away their God/s and they will find something else to worship.
Don't confuse atheism with nihilism or egocentric and narcissistic charactistics. People can develop (consciously and unconsciously) any number of characteristics, values, and principles. The removal or absence of a god / religious figure enables people to think outside of a primitive cognitive framework that explicitly condones incest, wife-beating, battery and intolerance.
One can be conscientious and not religious. Community values can be taught or acquired without beliefs.
He is talking about nihilism which is not about self worship it is about worshiping nothing, believing in nothing , having no values, no interest in anything.
@@NegativSpace-pd6cz There is nothing good about worship, respect yes but not worship.
If God is really and good then God would be appalled at the idea of anybody worshipping him. If God is real and demands worship then God by definition cannot be all good.
@@criticalthinker8007 You miss the point. Human's worship things no matter what, it's in our nature. Look at celebrity worship in the our day (e.g. young girls screaming because of The Beatles back in the day), or the worship of gods and deities in times past. The definition of "worship": the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for a deity.
Also I never said "God demands worship", try to pay more attention when you engage in a debate.
My point is, if you don't choose your gods/God carefully, you will end up worshipping some lesser one. Worshipping yourself is not a great thing to do, nor is worshipping other human beings. Find something that transcends matter to worship, something that will see you right through your life, even in the face of death.
Such a great and inspiring teacher. Thank you JP
Sounds like exactly what's happening in the US now.
Bwahahahahahaha
He's lying tho, NIETZSCHE BLAME CAPITALISM FOR GIVING BIRTH TO COMMUNISM, AND HE HATED RELIGION SPECIFICALLY JESUS
Nietzsche was spot on!
Jordan is a fraud. Lost all respect for this hypocrite bastard.
Not correct
God transcended
I have noticed more people turning back to God, myself included. Started at a new church and they have said their congregation has grown within this last year.
Although I think the existence of a personal God is unlikely, I choose to believe in Him, because I think I need Him for my mental wellbeing. My belief is a deliberate choice. Not too interested in church or any formal religion though. Just a personal God. Someone who is all good, and who loves all of us. And who is always there for me.
@@pmw3839 shouldn’t that say something though? The very fact that God is necessary for a society to function properly and effectively provides real psychological, logical, and emotional improvement in people by itself says something about the human mind and design. We really are made for relationship with someone Transcendent of ourselves.
Also, Its good to be in church but unless you actually believe in what they teach, it won’t give you the fullest result because believing in the resurrection is fundamental in all of it (John 15).
If you’re curious, I would recommend reading Cold Case Christianity, Case for Christ, or Cross Examined’s “I Don’t Have Enough Faith To Be An Atheist.” That or listen to some of their videos on RUclips, they provide pretty substantial evidence for the resurrection and existence of God.
This god you are worshipping, is the deity of fortune. Look up H1408
@pmw3839 Sounds like it could be any imaginary character
@@adamgates1142 Human beings are religious by nature (look up the religious impulse - Carl Jung). Take away their Gods and they will find something else to worship. We should therefore worship the highest good we can possibly conceive of, to avoid worshipping false idols. So in a way, no, it can't be just "any imaginary character".

I am a huge fan of Peterson, but make sure to cross reference him with other thinkers and those who have found flaws in some of his thinking. He’s not perfect (nobody is) so it’s important to be mindful of not holding him up like an idol and worshipping him.

Keep the truth coming
Maybe that explains the Roman emperors, the death of the previous ‘god’ emperor, and the new totalitarianism of the new emperor. I would even hazard to propose this is the explanation for the behavior of many if not most governmental power shifts that occur after the death of many a ‘god’ king-queen/emperor/dictator type. Think of the Pharaohs, European kings, Chinese emperors, and Latin American leaders (Kings? Emperors?) previous to the collapse after the old world-new world interactions began. I am beginning to feel that this may be ‘part of the human condition’ as I see similar reactionary events repeated in the history I see. I am curious about your thoughts.
I forget who originally said it but;
"History doesnt always repeat, but it certainly rhymes."
we needed a Savior. Jesus is He. Humanity separated from God, lost His image, i.e. character...God provided the saving grace of changing usringingbus nack into alighnment with Himself through the Messiah. This is one of the reasons for hatred for the Jews. Salvation IS of the JEWS. Fallen man, trapped by the enemy...caused this breech. The Spiritual warfare is what its about. The Good News. God wins. Jesus is the 2nd Adam. The Last Adam. The God/man which God intended.
@@rocalmeida9739 Tell that to Hamas, then come back and tell the rest of us how it went.
Nietzche was 6 years old in 1850 😂
He also predicted jordan and the new "religious" people: Rather than cope with the unbearable loneliness of their condition men will continue to seek their shattered God, and for His sake they will love the very serpents that dwell among His ruins.
But of course he wouldnt tell you that :^)
Exactly
True, but how you cope with that? Look at you
@@FermanEduServices I dont find it necessary, therfor i dont need to cope. Coping is done within a situation, so changeing ones situation makes it unecessary to cope. You have to look at yourself and your own situation inorder to escape the coping
The only problem is that Jesus has defeated death. He is risen. And there are now more Christian’s than ever before btw. Not much of a death, just a localized decay of western civilization. Atheism is a fad that will wash away in a matter of generations

Question:
Jordan Peterson claims Nietzsche said in The Will to Power that 100 million people would die due to communism. Is this true?
He says this around this timestamp in the video when discussing Nietzsche. I did a CTRL + F search in The Will to Power for every time Nietzsche says "communism," "communist," "socialism," and "socialist" and none talk about any quantity of deaths due to it. Is it safe to say Peterson made a false statement?
Answer:
He also says that Nietzsche had already predicted the rise of communism in his writings "by about 1850." ...But Nietzsche hadn't written and published anything until 1871 (!) Clearly a false statement!
I think this gives some insight into Peterson. He isn't saying 'because of the rise of communism' which is actually a more charitable interpretation to give him. Instead he says 'because of the rise of communist ideas". For Peterson we don't even need the presence of communism for bad things to happen, we need the presence (whatever this means in terms of ideas) of communist ideas. Peterson has a weird view of ideas, he thinks ideas have special causal powers so he gets freaked out when he 'sees' these ideas around since he thinks that the very presence of these ideas in large numbers signals that something is going to happen. Not only is Peterson's view of communism whack, but he also just totally gets wrong how communism has historically formed. No historian worth their salt would ever say that ideas caused communism. The closest we get to Nietzsche talking about dead people and socialism in The Will to Power (which wasn't published until after his death in August of 1900):
//In the teaching of socialism "a will to the denial of life" is but poorly concealed: botched men and races they must be who have devised a teaching of this sort. In fact, I even wish a few experiments might be made to show that in a socialistic society, life denies itself, and itself cuts away its own roots. The earth is big enough and man is still unexhausted enough for a practical lesson of this sort and demonstratio ad absurdum--even if it were accomplished only by a vast expenditure of lives--to seem worth while to me.//
So there's no prediction about millions of dead. We should not interpret 'life denial' as 'killing people' -- notice how he says we need to see the life denial even if it ends up killing people. The core bad thing about socialism is the life denial aspect. He's not even making a prediction about the vast expenditure of life, this is not the thing he expects. Life-denial is related to the Stoics, the Christians, the Herd, it is not exclusive to communism. This sort of view about how socialism will be a form of life denial is in contrast to the revolutionary spirit that thinks communism will be something new and better. Nietzsche thinks that it will perpetuate the same.
I mean really look at what Nietzsche says next if you want a good idea of what Peterson is leaving unsaid.
//Still, Socialism, like a restless mole beneath the foundations of a society wallowing in stupidity, will be able to achieve something useful and salutary: it delays "Peace on Earth" and the whole process of character-softening of the democratic herding animal; it forces the European to have an extra supply of intellect,--that is to say, craft and caution, and prevents his entirely abandoning the manly and warlike qualities,--it also saves Europe awhile from the marasmus femininus which is threatening it.//
This is the real threat as Nietzsche sees it. Feminine decay is the biggest threat, the loss of the 'manly and warlike qualities'. This is what Peterson is gunning after I think, but he just doesn't want to say it outright (order = white masculine hero, disorder = feminine black snake). Socialism is at least holding back the feminine decay of western society present in the democratic herd. Peterson's fear about how socialism will kill a lot of people is totally not what Nietzsche is saying here, or his main target, and I think Peterson knows this. Nietzsche's main target in this book is not socialism, but the fact that the democratic here 'softens' and kills the noble as best seen through Christianity:
//What is it we combat in Christianity? That it aims at destroying the strong, at breaking their spirit, at exploiting their moments of weariness and debility, at converting their proud assurance into anxiety and conscience-trouble; that it knows how to poison the noblest instincts and to infect them with disease, until their strength, their will to power, turns inwards, against themselves--until the strong perish through their excessive self-contempt and self-immolation: that gruesome way of perishing, of which Pascal is the most famous example.//
In short, notice how when Peterson talks about how bad communism was he always brings up the Gulags and how bad they were and how bad it is that millions of people died. But this is not Nietzsche's worry with socialism/communism. He is more worried about the 'life denial' aspect. Also value creation and self-creation probably doesn't operate at an individual level.

It's important to note that Nietzsche's works are open to various interpretations, and his ideas have been used and misused by different ideologies throughout history. While Nietzsche did critique traditional religion and expressed skepticism about the idea of God, directly linking his philosophy to the rise of the left or totalitarianism is a matter of debate among scholars.
Nietzsche's philosophy is rich and nuanced, and it covers a wide range of topics beyond religion, including ethics, morality, and the individual's place in society. To fully understand Nietzsche's ideas and their potential implications, it's advisable to study his works in their original context and engage with the extensive scholarship on his philosophy.
Since you're the expert, how about you put forth both sides of the argument: that Nietzsche foresaw a totalitarian regime to replace religion.
It seems to me that the nuance of any influential thinker is lost by the populizers, in part to serve the agenda for which purpose they are popularizing.
The scabbard is thrown away once the sword is unleashed for war.
@@willek1335 Statement "God is dead" in his work "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" wasn't explicitly a judgment of whether the death of God is a good or bad thing, but rather, it expressed changes in religious and philosophical beliefs in modern society.
Moreover, Nietzsche had a critical stance towards Christianity and religious authorities of his time. He believed that traditional religious beliefs had lost their influence and significance in the modern world and were being replaced by other ideas such as science and individualism. The statement "God is dead" symbolically marked this shift.
Since you don't know much (maybe only that you love Peterson so much) I do not intend to have a free lecture.
What it appears to me JP was referring to was what Nietzsche referred to as the "Last Man" or "der letzte Mensch." A consequence of rejecting traditional values in favour of nihilism.
The resemblance in values between the ideals of the last man and the movements JP mentioned sufficiently match.
Edit. The second part, appears to stem from Nietzsches views in On the Genealogy of Morality where he discusses the "origin" of the last man i.e. Slave Morality. We may also take a page from Beyond Good and Evil where Nietzsche explores herd morality and the dangers of conformity.
I'm curious, who are these debating scholars ... were referring to?
@@willek1335 For example, Walter Kaufmann, known for his interpretations of Nietzsche that emphasize humanistic and affirmative aspects of Nietzsche's philosophy. Gilles Deleuze who explores the processes of achieving subjectivity and creativity through destructive forces. Martin Heidegger, whose interpretation focuses on questions of existence, authenticity, and ontology. He does not view Nietzsche as the "philosopher of the will to power," but as a philosopher who poses questions about being. However, while I clearly like Peterson, in this video I find it pretentious to suggest that Nietzsche in any way leans towards the idea of God and is (N.) through it united in some way in the fight against the lefties. N. ideology is primarily personal, full of aversion and disgust towards God, Christianity, or anything implying a herd and collectivism concept. In my opinion, all beforementioned simply doesn't allow "packaging" which is done in the video.
That kind of foresight is just....wow!

Dr. JP is the dad I never had ❤
I would encourage you to read Nietzsche, he doesn't like religion at all. In fact, he was happy that God died, this meant "Humans, now are free, and we can set our own values". Nietzsche believed Christianity was ideology for the weak. The weak, are so sick of life that they had to create another where everything is good in order to not feel so sick in this one. SO AFRAID TO LIVE, SO READY TO DIE.........
In Nietzsche's words
"Faith moves no mountains, but it does place where there are none"
I recall Nietzsche y often in my mind. I always liked ‘A man with a reason to live can bare almost anything’
I do however add the caveat that ‘A man who has lost everything is free to do anything’!
Nice tie!

Nietzsche would despise this nonsense.
But would he have rejoiced or feared the consequences of the lose of faith in God?

@@kiwisaram9373Both. He feared the looming threat of nihilism but saw it as a chance for self realization as well.

Perhaps no one has misconstrued Nietzsche more than Peterson. Read the passage “what our cheerfulness signifies” in the Gay science and tell me how accurate Peterson is.
Maestro can you talk about Emanuel Kant ? Or it’s just out of the question . Mexican fan número one , saludos
He misses one thing about nietzsches death of god. Peterson usually says that it wasnt a happy declaration by nietzsche when he announced the death of god and it wasnt in one of the paragraphes. But in the other paragrafs in thus spoke zarathustra it was a happy one and nietzsche proclaimed that humans, mainly the superhumans have to make up their own values without God and that that was a good thing.
exactly! nietzsche wasn't writing to general people; he was writing to his "free spirits," those who would see the death of god as a liberating call to transvaluation. to nietzsche, this death of god was like an open sea of opportunity, a beautiful thing.
Very insightful!
The radical right is much more frightening. We saw it with Franco
Franco was worse than Stalin? Mao?🤔
Couldn’t the “death of god“, stating man “killed“ him (when I’m not totally mistaken the quote stems from So Spoke Zarathustra), also be seen as a chance for liberation from a society based on religious morals and ethics, a step towards a society based on “menmade“ values, finding purpose in life here and now, without expecting to be rewarded on the other side, for having lived a life agreeable to (a) god?
Yea but Jordan’s job as a psychologist is to turn young men into the god-worshipping “last man” Nietzsche hated. Nietzsche thought left wing commies were just as repugnant as well
Given Nietzsche was 6 years old in 1850, that really is impressive.
This sounds like a drastic leap from what he might have said, not to mention a fair departure from what he actually wrote.
When will this dude read any of the books he's commenting on. Nietzsche didn't think any of the things Jordy is saying here.
And in 1850 Nietzsche was 6!
Either Jordan Peterson knows next to nothing about Nietzsche (and projected his own opinions onto him), or he's losing his memory, or both.
I too crave a replacement totalitarian certainty
The world is a chaotic mess and I need answers to reassure myself things will eventually turn alright
Pray the rosary in these times; all of this was foretold by Our Lady of Fatima in 1917. She said just as it looks as if the whole world is communist, her Immaculate Heart would triumph
No Peterson, he did not see it as the ultimate catastrophe. Perhaps a catastrophe for those needing of moral guidance, those unwilling or unable to function otherwise.
🤦🏻♀️
And here we are repeating it again
Great people know what you when they nailed some think you have
Last man was about religion and übermensch was the consequence of living without religion, that it would be hard and would pose a challenge but a challenge people were up to the task to tackle.
to cling onto religion was to nietzsche was to cling onto weakness instead of going forward which is the necessary step to becoming übermensch.
people often misrepresent nietzsche as this doom and gloom philosopher when he is the exact opposite of it.
All part of the plan. Evil will reach its peak, and wickedness, will be wiped from this earth
What "plan?" You do realize that if there is such a plan, the "god" that is its architect is a monster.
Nietzsche called this anti life death cult view ascetic nihilism. The weak cope and wish for destruction to evade the hard times that would leave only the greatest men standing.

...I respect Dr Peterson..and, he's very handsome as he greys.
This kinda parallels Moses when he left to go up the mountain, the people lost their connection to God and went wild
nietzsche hated very little things more than christianity and its values. peterson misinterprets nietzsche's views in the most partisan ways; it's staggering.
All one has to do is look at the difference between countries with high religiosity and those with low religiosity. High religiosity = Iran, parts of the southern US, Iraq. Low religiosity = Sweden, Denmark, France.
Now, where would you rather live?
Yes, the time was 1850, when Nietzsche was about 6 years of age.
Jordan looks like Charlton Heston as Moses
I am sick of polarizations all the time. Us vs them, white vs black, republicans vs democrats, young vs old... people cant imagine world where two oposite sides live in unison??? 😕
And lovabd behold we're in it.
Nietzsche was definitely a prophet in that sense
God is all we have. There isn't anything else. Eternal separation for Almighty God is horrific option to say the very least.
I never read his stuff but anyone who thinks like a modern philosopher would have thought about this at some point, If you're old enough to have done so before the internet gave us answers to every question nobody asked... And then they accompany it with a bullshit answer so nobody really knows what the correct answer is....
Do me a favor everyone who sees this comment. Go actually read Nietzsche instead of listening to a guy talk about him. This framing is laughable
Agree, JP misrepresents the most basic of Nietzsche’s ideas.
Things were so awesome before the death of god. No wars, no conquests, no mass rapes or torture of enemies.
I know a lot of people who are neither religious nor nihilistic. Where is all this nihilism (due to lack of religiosity) he speaks of?
Nietzsche was truly brilliant the ruling crown over the house of Oldenburg spoke with him alot. The government of laws rest in this zone and rests upon having a government over your own temperament .
His description matches up with every religious person I’ve ever met.
So right wing Nietzsche made a 50/50 guess to apportion blame - Left or Right. Not even as hard as a multiple choice question. He may as well have tossed a coin.
@@NegativSpace-pd6cz You are happy to take that as a point.
Peterson is quoting Nietzsche as though he is a reliable source of fact, he is merely a source of a biased opinion. It plays well to the right wing crowd, as does becoming a $$$Christian$$$ all of a sudden. 🤫 'Don't mention the Drug Hypocrisy though' 🫣 Bad for book sales when the narrative is founded on a lie.
Money is a Bluebottle to Peterson and he the Chameleon, changing colours, swivelling his eyes at the prize then out comes the new opinion at 70mph 😂. Rules for thee but not for me.
It’s not a 50/50 guess if you have a reasoned position for one versus the other.
Nietzsche despised politics, be it right wing or left wing. Left wing for its will to equality and right wing for its adherence to values. Politicians were just as bad as preachers to him. Dont take any of JP’s takes on Nietzsche seriously, I doibt he even read him.
@@Brien831 I'll never understand all the ad hominem attacks on JP. "I doubt he even read him", why say that when you truly have no idea whether he has or not? Do I detect a hint of jealousy?
@@NegativSpace-pd6cz I suggest you read Nietzsche. Survey what he means by “God is dead” and how Peterson misrepresents it. It isnt an ad hominem, it simply is a suspicion I voiced, stemming from his obviously superficial knowledge. I recommend reading Beyond Good and Evil or at least watch Weltgeist’s videos on the matter, that channel has very decent interpretations. At least see for yourself, wether I speak honest or not.
I thought he was always making an antagonistic remark about God. Not about how society percieves God.
So much reference to "the radical left." What about "the radical right," does it exist?
It’s common sense
Everything seems like common sense after it has already happened.
Mate… honestly…
Maybe it is… But it wasn’t.
Its ideology, the death of god had nothing to do with the decline of western values. Speculate all you want but it could just as easily been caused a million other factors.
Just because something makes sense to you after hearing someone articulate for you, doesn't make it common sense.
@@austin7037 It was common sense for Albert Pike in 1860.
Not everyone operates on such a low IQ they can't merely predict the next 100 years.
You wanna know what happens from 2030 - 2050? I can tell you now. Its not hard.
My great grandfather could of told you what happens in 2050, in 1920. He predicted the invasion of Iraq based on a false pretense of WMD's in 1949, and the current Israeli invasion of the middle east, and Americas involvement in Iran over the next few years. (You'll see, probably via Draft)
"Common sense" applies to people, not apes. Not everyone has the genes for it.
Maybe common sense is real, and your just an idiot majority. I'll admit the title could use an update, since intelligence is no longer common, but a highly ostracized minority.
"Common sense" refers to most people hundreds of years ago, who have been dwindled into a small club in the modern world from being out-breeded by stupid people.
Remember the opening scene of Idiocracy? That happened. The primitive immigrants and local trash had 15 babies, while the real humans had 1 or 2.
And here we are. 300 genders. Enjoy. Just don't project your inferior intelligence onto the real people.
At least wait for the handful of humans left who have common sense to die off, before you pretend it doesn't exist.
not everyone has to hear the microwave beep, to know the popcorn is ready at 4:30. Some of us still know how to use our brains.
I don't have to wait for rain, to know what the dark clouds in the sky and heavy winds represent. Neither do farm cows, even farm cattle have greater common sense than modern man.
Protect Jordan at all costs ❤
Nietzsche was born in 1844. 😅😅😅
Happening now in the USA.
No it isn't .
@@Faye-el1bz Oh, just because you say so.? Actually I believe my statement, not yours. Our nation is being taken over by leftist liberals based in the Communist political ideaology. The 2024 election is vital for the continued life of this nation as a free Constitutional republic. The election of Pres Trump is imperative. No longer can we sleep away while the insanity of liberals destroys our nation.
What he said.
Nietzsche’s first book was published in 1872-24 years after The Communist Manifesto.
That’s understood. What JP is pointing out was how Nietzsche identified communism as the ideology that would replace religion and cause great destruction in the following century.
@@New-Moderatehow is it understood? He made an elementary factual error that my point directly contradicted. He also entirely fails to account comparatively for the crimes and sins of capitalism, which are certainly no less enormous.
Brilliant deduction on Nietzsche's part. Too bad he died a hopeless atheist.
NOT TRUE
Jordan got his teeth done, looks totally different
We are fighting back against the beast. We will win and we will rise from the ashes once again
So who is this god that died?
Where did he say that that would come from the radical left or communism?
He just described what radical left communist openly are today.
They can call themselves "Rainbow truffle unicorn monsters" whatever, they resemble his prediction.
Albert Pike predicted all the same stuff as an adult in the 1860's. And all 3 world wars, and how they end in specific detail.
A man who only eats steak a good advertisement indeed
How and when did God die? Meaning he left the community or this world?
I'm confused. When did God die?
Physically? In Jerusalem 2,000 years ago.
Spiritually? Renaissance era.
I've witnessed enough hell to realize there is one.
So much of what he is saying is almost true but actually false. Just one example- in 1850 Nietzsche was 6 years old.
I love Jordan and his new teeth look fabulous. So handsome, brilliant, and a brilliant orator.
And this is happening in the United States this very minute.
Oh, so he thought about everything yet nothing..."I think I'm smart, so I am."
this is it...youre reason for life...
Death and hated mean the same thing here...
And yes majority of "athiests are closet God-haters."
Totally messed up. I sympathize with ppl who really struggle with God but not to many of those these days. Some saved of love some of fear. As long as you grt there.....❤
i think JP never read Nitschke
The king of word salads has never had a thought he didn't think was true and that everyone else needs to believe it.
In 1850 Nietzsche was 6...
Nietzsche is so good that to me hes at the top and all other writers come second by far.
How did he nail it at 6 years old? That is impressive. Born 1844.
Funny. No, Nietzche got it right later than that date. I think Jordan made a mistake in speaking.
Christopher Hitchens got this right
Amen
All those things existed since religion began. We know today the universe began with the Big Bang and life came into existence through evolution.
Why not just reject 'God' as the source of morality the way Plato did in the Euthyphro? Then you don't need Nietzsche and his melodrama.
Only took him 1,850 years to figure it out
It's not the latter.
I already took that option away.
Nitzsche was born in 1844. I doubt that he nailed that being 6 years old
Nietzsche was 6 in 1850 smh
Nietzsche is nonetheless brilliant, however nihilistic philosophy is ultimately self defeating ideologically.
Christians must understand deliverance, healing and knowledge are a replacement for atheism. I use all three.
Jesus dying on the cross wasn’t a catastrophe. It was an achievement. He knew the assignment: taking the wrath of God in our place to pave the way to salvation by Grace to those who choose Him. God desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth- 1 Timothy 2:4🎚️
