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

Well yeah, because society becomes more progressive the more technologies develop that make harsh rules superficially unnecessary

So whenever they look back more than a few decades the person is now outside of the overton window

at least this is one of the reasons, I think

were all of the channels nuked or something?

yeah

@Skellington what book is that?

Oh

>Nietzsche was a coomer

🤔

Nietzsche was bloody weird

<:pepe_down:662852278830628923>

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

Imagine getting syphilis and letting it develop into neural stage

Imagine going insane and dying from an std

nietsche died of an std?

i thought he was an incel

There’s a theory that he got an std (syphilis) from a prostitute

god stuck him down

I'm starting to think that the rescue your father from the underworld schtick is just a massive cope cause all of JBP's intellectual role models were fucked

Every man has some cope.

With creators (be it artist, philosophers or other) it's just more apparent since they leave part of themselves in their own creation.

Coping is not necessarily a bad thing.
