But in the intellectual climate which we have succeeded in producing troughout Western Europe you needn't bother about that. Only learned read old book and we have now so dealt with the learned that they that they are of all men the least likely to acquire wisdom by doing so. We have done this by inculcating thr Historical Point of View, put briefly, means that when a learned man is presented with any statement in an ancient author, the one question he never asks is wether it is true. He asks who influenced the ancient writer, and how far the statment is consistent with what he said in earlier books, ... To regard the ancient writer as apossible source for knowledge -to to anticipate that what he said could possibly modyfy your thoughts and behavior- this would be rejected as unutterably simple-minded

Why would he try to bullshit people he was Polish? Or was that a symbolic thing of some sort?
Nietzsche was German
I know, but he claimed on multiple occasions he hailed from Poland which is pure nonsense
Didn’t know that
As to his coomerism that would be in line with the hypothesis that he contracted syphilis.
Imagine getting syphilis
lol
