Nietzsche

[NikolaiI]

The significant problem in Nietzsche's works:
The "Will to Power" is in a sense, insane.
Those who feel they do not have power
do not understand the power they have.
In wishing for more power, they are already
On the path to insanity.
The proper approach:
Do the best one can,
Do not mind when power comes or goes.
Etc.
But yeah.
Loved it anyway.

[NikolaiI]

However on the opposite side _--
Those who do almost all the wrong, have the same thing, they want all the power and so forth--
So one should perhaps do a little bit of growth in that direction simply to stop them.
And in this it is a good thing: all good things one should accumulate, and grow:
Including of course, power. "Always choose power over money"--Zelazny (paraphrased)
But in any case -- Dostoevsky was much more beautiful/sane than Nietzsche;
So perhaps this is why he looked up to him.
There are some main points of literature where good/wise are ruling over the wicked;
Mainly I'm thinking proverbs there.
Memory is good. <3
But the best thing Nietzsche said was, "The surest way to corrupt a youth is to teach them that those who have other views than they do are inherently wrong." Paraphrased.

[NikolaiI]

I'm not a big fan of Nietzsche; although I read about 4-5 of his books, and have an essentially perfect memory at least for the most interesting, cogent, or powerful ideas of a person.
The main thing he said that was good was, "There are about 6 people in the world working on the same problems I am."
Pretty nifty--
But a super quick glance at almost anything he wrote,
Can show some enormous if not awful ideas or errors.
For instance racism and so forth -- and yep that's there.

He went back and forth on Jews etc; but simply to say that "Races" exist in a "Hierarchy" or something,
well if you glance at Geneaology of Morals,
and you don't get sickened(?)
I don't want to know you. <3

[NikolaiI]

If anyone talks about "Hierarchy" a lot it's quite likely they are influenced by "Mme. Blavatsky", Annie Besant or other such occultists who were quite erm............ yeah
"There is no evil in the world"
one might say -- and it might be true:
However those are the worst descriptors of the universe I have seen for the most part. May they be gone forever.

What to speak of Rudolf Steiner....
These people pushed the Aryan philosophy quite a while before (The H) came along.

And by Aryan I do not mean Dravidian or Indian or anything like that or anything from Bharata WHATSOEVER.
So begone, white supremacists, no matter where you are.

And by the above I mean there is deeply inherent racism in the first two mentioned; awful stuff,
They founded the "Great White Brotherhood" etc.,
And the third one as well;
including such absurdities as "There used to be elves on the moon"
"Gravity doesn't exist."
Etc.

LOL I'm very sorry if this went off on a tangent!

But in any case, as Swami Vivekananda said, "Always be a hero -- tell all you meet, have no fear."
And that definitely is an exact quote <3
