babyhueypnewton posted:babyfinland posted:babyhueypnewton posted:lol saying nietzsche didn't speak of politics is like saying Machiavelli didn't speak about politics because he didn't include bourgeois ethics in his prescriptions. also nietzsche going "crazy" is completely irrelevant and dismissing or modifying his work with that in mind is basically a way of dismissing radical thought as "crazy". see: Foucault (and again see him for more explicit politicizing of Nietzsche)
who are you talking to
sorry got to the party late, pretty rare nietzsche comes up in lf though and even rarer that he isn't immediately dismissed by liberals for being "racist" and "misogynistic" and/or "crazy"
ok? did someone forget their filipino sunrise this morning

hmm interesting stuff, I'm sure you have a well developed definition of "insanity" and have thought carefully about your opinions
syphillis counts dude
who cares it didn't affect any of his writing and has shit all to do with his philosophy. the only argument that could be made is that ecce homo was influenced by syphilis (which is actually not true it was cancer) and that is a poor argument to make since it's barely supported in a textual analysis

your problem is thinking that reading Nietzsche is necessarily prescriptive. one does not have to justify the morality of nietzsche in order to read him. he's just part of the evolution of philosophical thought.

yeah obviously you can read him without understanding his thought, no one is going to steal your eyeballs. but if you had understood him, the idea of his being part of an "evolution" is absurd, he is the original anti-historicist. and before anyone says anything, marxism is not a historicism either.

marx is ambiguous enough that he can be read as a historicist. why do you argue that nietzsche is the "first anti-historicist"?

I mean that there were plenty of philosophers who were not historicist, and in fact the majority of humanity throughout history didn't see history as a progression or evolution. But Nietzsche is the first to be "anti"-historicist by explicitly attacking the liberal ideal of historical progress.

that doesnt really justify your claim. you can easily be historicist without adopting that specific "liberal" position

Nietzsche is part of the evolution of thought insofar as he had a direct predecessor (Schopenhauer) and those who followed after him...

that's not what evolution means.

you're being very cryptic, you'll have to explain what other kind of historicism you mean here

lol. literally any other sort of historicism. e.g. marxist historicism? im not being cryptic at all.
babyhueypnewton posted:marxist historicism is pretty clearly liberal historicism. the socialist trend that sees marxism/socialism as the continuation of the liberal, humanistic goals of the enlightenment is the historicist trend (sartre, lukacs, marcuse, almost the entire western marxist tradition). i wouldn't object to someone calling marx the original anti-humanist, but since there is a division within his own work between the young marx and the mature marx i think my statement is fair.
um excuse me but theres only room for one guy who reads a thinker and immediately adopts an extreme partisan position on that basis and its been filled. by me. get out.
EmanuelaOrlandi posted:The narrative of ancient aliens is that a long time ago, as portrayed in Sumerian myth, a bunch of aliens came to earth to mine gold to replentish the gold deficiency in their planets atmosphere. After various failed experiments they successfully created man in a laboratory to be their slave laborers in the gold mines. They left but still continue to intervene in human history and provide humans with technology. Also every single miracle-type event or unexplainable phenomenon in every holy book of every religion is actually talking about one of mankinds encounters with aliens.
THat is more or less the actual theory behind ancient aliens.
why u spoil Prometheus
that bhpn sure is something.
