#notAllNietzscheFans are fucking edgy teenagers misinterpreting the super men like those faggots that murdered a kid in the 40's because they were stronger.
Nietzsche was a radical twist in the cathegoric imperative, that all the actions have to serve as example of perfection, but only the perfect men born like that could do that.
Just focus on the idiots that like ayn rand mmm'kay?
>>262968021

I guess people call him nihilist because he said stuff about god being dead and stuff, which rustles a lot of jimmies since Descartes made some bullshit formal logic to demonstrate he existed and anyone saying the contrary is technically wrong. If God doesn't exist, then nothing makes sense because of faulty assumed logic, therefore why I guess they name him "nihilist".
I didn't exactly like his ideas, but I actually hate anything that has to do with Nietzsche because it is used by edgy self-called nihilist teenagers that want to look deep who didn't read a bit about him. Not the man's fault, though.

Thing is, Descartes demonstrated correctly everything until that point. He literally questioned everything and the "cogito, ergo sum" deduction is pretty flawless. However, he fucked up from there. The whole evil spirit shit is just a quick way to demonstrate the existence of God, since it is an unnecessary check (nobody can trick you into thinking you exist while you don't, that's stupid).
Also, he assumed ideas like infinite are fully understood by the human mind, and not just emulated. I don't think humans can grasp infinity, just indefinite loops and big-ass numbers.

For his time era he was un fucking touchable. His logic was sound, and at the time there was a rift between science and the Church. By him using rational logic (even if it gets loopy by today's standards) for the proof of God, he basically gave the literate world the equivalent of "Christians 1, Others 0."

He doesn't have to defend it he has to state it.
Jesus believed in a life of material poverty, that the world was corrupt and worthless, and that true happiness would be found in receding from it and to God. Happiness to him was not of this earth. Given the influence this aesthetic philosophy had on the world, i'd say he definitely belongs on there.

That's why he was saying it is a being beyond our will and comprehension, basically to be an Ubermensch, you can't be Human.

Multiple ways to look at it. 1 is just do whatever because you're flawed and that flaw is always present, 2 is try to emulate the Ubermensch as close as possible, but again, it's impossible to completely be that due to our own nature. The second one is basically a response to how do we live in a post-religious world devoid of meaning.

He ham stringed reason more than any other man in history. He told us that our "phenomenal" world was not reality, but a twisted distortion of it. He told us that we we are incapable of knowing or understanding reality, because our consciousness is limited to a specific nature, and that consciousness perceives by specific means that are not capable of perceiving the "noumenal", that which has to be believed, rather than observed or understood.
Therefore, our consciousness is not valid by virtue of the fact that we cannot observe reality. We are blind because we have eyes. We are deaf because we have ears. And the things we perceive do not exist, because we perceive them.
His virtues are based not on value, but on the negation of such. A man who volunteers or donates to charity cannot claim morality if he enjoys doing so, because the act benefits him through his happiness. Morality can ONLY exist in the man who sacrifices his own well being/happiness. In order to be moral, it is not enough that others gain, but you must lose.
I have therefore found it necessary to deny knowledge, in order to make room for faith.”

You proved my point. No sane person on earth would believe this if Kant hadn't come along and closed the door on reason. Kant is the reason we aren't flying through space and fucking robots. He cut our legs off right as humanity was about to transcend the constraints of faith.
Existence exists. I see a poster infront of me, it is framed in glass. That poster and that frame exists. They have value, they are made of atoms. If every living being in the universe died tomorrow, that poster would still be there. Observation and perception are what allow us to experience reality, but reality goes on existing without us. Every single philosophy that purports to be able to prove that you, or anything else you perceive doesn't exist stems from Kant and his poisonous fucking metaphysicality.
And no, I don't agree. At the very least, they can claim the same moral credit. And I would argue the man who enjoys what he is doing is more moral because he is creating value for both others and himself. But I'm not going into that argument here.
>>262985115
Einstein sited Kant as one of his inspirations for being able to think outside the box.
Kant didn't shut the door end all be all on reason. he shut the door on the final word of reason, and "faith" for Kant is not your colloquial peasant's faith; rather its what you are left with after you logically give up pure reason.
Kant is not alone in coming to this conclusion its not the "excuse for faith in god" or the excuse for post modern bullshit people often think it is.
Kant is too misunderstood to read a wiki page on his work and get it. thats not an insult its a general statement.

Kant doesn't say that the poster doesn't exist. He says since we're only able to perceive it through our sense of sight, we can't be sure we necessarily know everything there is to know about it - at least, that's been my understanding of it.
As for the "man who likes doing good v. man who hates doing good" thing, I'd argue that, as long as the man who enjoys doing good is intending to do good for good's sake and not for his own enjoyment, they're both good.
