i mean yeah how else?

2019-03-02 06:49:29 UTC  

I was thinking that earlier today.

2019-03-02 06:50:14 UTC  

So the part you pulled from is his dismantling Schopenhauer's "altruistic men act solely out of altruism" argument and your response is to make Schopenhauer's same logical fallacy, but in the opposite direction, that suffering is necessarily good.

2019-03-02 06:50:14 UTC  

Life is pain and suffering. In order to survive you must endure and overcome.

2019-03-02 06:51:01 UTC  

i think there's more to it than that... but maybe the frogs are gay now

2019-03-02 06:51:17 UTC  

It's a caution against the suffering of others being your drive and refuting that moralism requires you *must* be a "good" or "selfless" person to do good things.

2019-03-02 06:51:28 UTC  

no I dont think that all suffering is necessarily good

2019-03-02 06:52:10 UTC  

Pain and suffering is necessary, but yes it isnt necessarily good or evil either

2019-03-02 06:52:37 UTC  

I said if you want to achieve your goals, it will require suffering and that suffering will be good for you after you've achieved your goal

2019-03-02 06:52:50 UTC  

I agree with that

2019-03-02 06:52:54 UTC  

like coding there are libraries, those libraries were built by others who "suffered"

2019-03-02 06:53:03 UTC  

Self inflicted suffering for self improvement

2019-03-02 06:53:05 UTC  

we code on top of them

2019-03-02 06:53:22 UTC  

I just don't get how you pulled "suffering is a good thing and putting yourself through hardship will make you a better man" from a passage discussing the flaws of altruism as an absolute good.

2019-03-02 06:53:35 UTC  

a higher man obtains his goals through suffering

2019-03-02 06:53:43 UTC  

Sorry my sentencing was all chopped up

2019-03-02 06:54:04 UTC  

letting the words flow through me

2019-03-02 06:54:23 UTC  

in my context it made me think

2019-03-02 06:54:28 UTC  

There's "letting the words flow through me" and "using entirely unrelated words to make a logically flawed point"

2019-03-02 06:54:40 UTC  

A logical flaw, by the way, that Nietzsche directly addresses.

2019-03-02 06:55:09 UTC  

Its not flawed when you read it how I meant it and how I rephrased it for better understanding of what I meant

2019-03-02 06:55:26 UTC  

if you want to achieve your goals, it will require suffering and that suffering will be good for you after you've achieved your goal

2019-03-02 06:55:56 UTC  

And if achieving a goal does not require suffering or suffering hinders you from achieving a goal?

2019-03-02 06:56:20 UTC  

you fail

2019-03-02 06:56:25 UTC  

Then it is probably a goal of the last man

2019-03-02 06:56:31 UTC  

On what ground?

2019-03-02 06:57:05 UTC  

it is probably an insignificant goal

2019-03-02 06:57:43 UTC  

And not a goal at all, without going through the suffering to achieve something great

2019-03-02 06:58:07 UTC  

If it is a lofty goal the suffering you experience will be there

2019-03-02 06:58:07 UTC  

Then would suffering be an objective human experience?

2019-03-02 06:58:33 UTC  

And what of goals where your fulfillment surpasses your suffering?

2019-03-02 06:58:51 UTC  

lottery

2019-03-02 06:59:03 UTC  

Is experiencing pleasure, even in the act of suffering, turning your goal into an aim of the last man?

2019-03-02 06:59:38 UTC  

no, once your goal has been achieved, experiencing its reward is what makes it worth it

2019-03-02 06:59:46 UTC  

The problem is becoming stagnant in that comfort

2019-03-02 07:00:19 UTC  

If my goal is to buy a house and to retire and I achieved it with no other goal in mind, I am the last man

2019-03-02 07:00:24 UTC  

And if you find reward in the act of suffering? Or find comfort in refusing stagnancy?

2019-03-02 07:00:52 UTC  

Goals are ever evolving

2019-03-02 07:00:55 UTC  

In your example, you are the last man because that's a goal of consumption, not because you didn't have any further goals.

2019-03-02 07:00:56 UTC  

For the higher man

2019-03-02 07:01:02 UTC
