It is to an extent, for not every man can become an übermensch

Alright, even if that's the case, I was talking about his points on post-modernity and hyper-realism

Basically because he was right

Hyper-reality is where a simulated reality, a "simulacrum" becomes more 'real' than reality because reality has become so devoid of anything meaningful.

The misconceptions around Nietzsche arise from the popular paraphrase "God is dead". The next line, often left out, is "and we have killed him". I haven't read much Nietzsche, but I get the impression that the die-hard atheist ubermensch portrait of him arises from this and similar paraphrases.

I see it all the damn time now.

@Jimbo2025 Yeah, basically

Hyper-reality is pretty much exemplified in Donald Trump.

Remove God from the equation and it all becomes meaningless

He got elected because he's a good showman who gives good entertainment. Nobody gives two shits about his policies or his character.

Psalm 146:3

**Psalm 146:3 - Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)**

```Dust


<3> Who healeth the broken of heart, and bindeth up their bruises. ```

whoops

Psalm 146

is this thing broken

Psalm 146:1-5

**Psalm 146:1-5 - Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)**

```Dust


<1> Praise ye the Lord, because psalm is good: to our God be joyful and comely praise. <2> The Lord buildeth up Jerusalem: he will gather together the dispersed of Israel. <3> Who healeth the broken of heart, and bindeth up their bruises. <4> Who telleth the number of the stars: and calleth them all by their names. <5> Great is our Lord, and great is his power: and of his wisdom there is no number. ```

there we go

In other words everybody only cares about how he portrays himself while he's on camera, nobody cares about anything deeper than that about him. He got elected to the most powerful position in the country because it's just all entertainment to people now.

I really doubt that's the real reason he got elected

But alright, I'm not american so I suppose I don't share your feelings

Judges 21:25

🤔

so apparently it's psalm 118

It is. I admit I only voted for him because he was different, and I legit don't care who's in office.

Psalm 118:8

**Psalm 118:8 - Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)**

```Dust


<8> I will keep thy justifications: O! do not thou utterly forsake me. ```

huh

_It is good to confide in the Lord, rather than to have confidence in man.

Lol

weird

Judges 21:24

**Judges 21:24 - New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)**

```Dust


<24> So the Israelites departed from there at that time by tribes and families, and they went out from there to their own territories. ```

Facebook is one of the prime examples of hyper-reality and Simulacrums becoming the new reality

That's the last verse in Judges.

Psalm 117:8

**Psalm 117:8 - Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)**

```Dust


<8> It is good to confide in the Lord, rather than to have confidence in man. ```

Weird

there we go

American Psycho becomes more relevant by the day because it was all about this in its overaching themes.

According to my Bible, though, the verse continues: ...and families, to their dwellings. In those days there was no king in Israel: but every one did that which seemed right to himself.
