Now on another note:

2019-06-28 02:55:55 UTC  

Nietzsche had some good points with his tracts about post-modernity and "hyper-reality"

2019-06-28 02:58:11 UTC  

Read Kierkegaard

2019-06-28 02:58:24 UTC  

Nietzsche centers around the Knight of Eternal Resignation

2019-06-28 02:58:40 UTC  

Kierkegaard proposes the Knight of Faith to counter that

2019-06-28 02:59:04 UTC  

No. Nietzsche was against nihilism. Modern edgelords say he was for it.

2019-06-28 02:59:23 UTC  

I am aware, but that's not at all what the Knight of Eternal Resignation is

2019-06-28 02:59:44 UTC  

The KoER is literally the übermensch in Nietzsche's eyes

2019-06-28 03:00:19 UTC  

Because despite what the name suggests, the KoER is able to raise above most men

2019-06-28 03:00:31 UTC  

However he's one step below the Knight of Faith

2019-06-28 03:00:43 UTC  

Who has resigned himself entirely to the will of God

2019-06-28 03:01:33 UTC  

and therefore is able to achieve whatever he desires, for he believes God can grant him anything, as God is able to do anything

2019-06-28 03:03:45 UTC  

I thought the ubermensch was supposed to be the one that could recognize the true underlying spiritual values of the world that everyone else lost sight of.

2019-06-28 03:04:40 UTC  

On the contrary, the übermensch has, according to Nietzsche, crossed through the stage of rising above religion. but recognizes it keeps other men tied to rules, and strives to further improve his fellow men

2019-06-28 03:07:38 UTC  

I never heard that. I thought the common man was worthless to him.

2019-06-28 03:08:15 UTC  

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

2019-06-28 03:09:59 UTC  

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

2019-06-28 03:10:51 UTC  

Basically because he was right

2019-06-28 03:11:47 UTC  

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

2019-06-28 03:13:54 UTC  

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.

2019-06-28 03:13:54 UTC  

I see it all the damn time now.

2019-06-28 03:14:17 UTC  

@Jimbo2025 Yeah, basically

2019-06-28 03:14:35 UTC  

Hyper-reality is pretty much exemplified in Donald Trump.

2019-06-28 03:15:23 UTC  

Remove God from the equation and it all becomes meaningless

2019-06-28 03:15:30 UTC  

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

2019-06-28 03:16:27 UTC  

Psalm 146:3

2019-06-28 03:16:28 UTC  

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

```Dust


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

2019-06-28 03:16:37 UTC  

whoops

2019-06-28 03:16:57 UTC  

Psalm 146

2019-06-28 03:17:12 UTC  

is this thing broken

2019-06-28 03:17:24 UTC  

Psalm 146:1-5

2019-06-28 03:17:25 UTC  

**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. ```

2019-06-28 03:17:35 UTC  

there we go

2019-06-28 03:17:39 UTC  

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.

2019-06-28 03:17:58 UTC  

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

2019-06-28 03:18:12 UTC  

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

2019-06-28 03:18:42 UTC  

Judges 21:25

2019-06-28 03:18:58 UTC  

🤔

2019-06-28 03:19:30 UTC  

so apparently it's psalm 118
