I Traveled to my Birth Place on my Birthday to Review Nietzsches "The Antichrist"
As I stand amidst the colossal ruins of the Roman Empire (Temple of Augustus/Pula Amphitheatre), I reflect on what inspired these magnificent monuments: Ancient Greece. They invented philosophy, democracy and the Olympic Games. How did such a small group of people over a short period of time produce such greatness? What were their beliefs and values? In 'The AntiChrist', Nietzsche compares and contrasts Christian values with that of the Hellenic Greeks:
🏛
Pity, Meekness and Compassion versus Strength, Beauty and Health.
Slave Morality versus Master Morality.
Join me as I commemorate my birthday in the historic backdrop of my birthplace, Pula, Croatia, while delving into Nietzsche's most profound work, 'The AntiChrist.' This video essay is a blend of philosophy, travel and self improvement, where the essence of Nietzsche's teachings resonates amidst the timeless beauty of Croatia's heritage 🇭🇷
Here, in this review, we ignite Nietzsche's heretical critique of Christianity, exposing it as a philosophy that shackles human greatness and stifles the extraordinary.
✝️
We'll channel Nietzsche's unyielding tenets to dissect the modern-day Free Spirit, like Elon Musk, battling against the tide of mediocrity to forge new frontiers for humanity. I then go on to give actionable steps for men to embrace these ideals such as increasing testosterone and improving mental health. Whether you're a Nietzsche disciple, a seeker of truth with the courage to ask difficult questions, or a fellow free spirit drawn to the fusion of primal wisdom and radical thought, this review from the heart of my birthplace on my 34th birthday is my gift to you 🎁

This is a video essay about philosophy but it ties into self improvement around half way through 🙏 GRATITUDE 🙏 1. I’m grateful for the long history of my home town Pula 2. I’m grateful for my book collection (mostly philosophy and self help) 3. I’m grateful for a low cortisol/high testosterone lifestyle

Why people changed their morals all of sudden after the fall of Rome???

@@ReginaTrans_because Jesus and his followers had more clout and their world view took over everything. Christianity and the masses dominated over the Pagan aristocracy of Rome. The place was filled with slaves and all slaves turned to the Christian faith

@@EdvinG I always think that too, at the end it’s just a human process of civilizations, when a huge empire is coming to an end of a cycle, the aristocracy gap is extreme and the ones at the bottom rebel, so a new world can be born, I think right now it’s going to happen maybe in our lifetime, once Chinese develop machines that literally can take over the world creating a new world order where no one can even marry and twisted things that in fact were once normal in Ancient Rome and cultures even further in time

America is developing AI but the chinese are mass producing physical robots and all it takes is one software update to AGI and they will have an army of super intelligent robots which is pretty scary
Nietzsche was never about power like you say. Do a bit more research, reread his book a few more times. You are on the right track but still have way more to go. No one ever understands his "will to power", its more about the will to power within the will to power, its not about the will to power in itself. People just assume he was a power maniac. Quite the opposite. His goal was to help us understand will to power to free us from it. Keep making videos though, glad I watched.

Schopenhauer saw the world as Will to Life and Nietzsche thought that was close but instead understood the world as being more fundamentally about the Will to Power and nothing but. There are many cases where someone woudl choose to give their life for a greater cause like to protect their children or men dying in wars to fight for some ideal. Therefore power (through genetic legacy or dying for a cause) is more fundamental than mere survival. A seed turning into a plant and then blossoming into a flower was the seed following its will to power. All life wants to flourish and increase its power in the world. And the Christian ethos is diametrically opposed to a human living in alignment with their will to power.
Damn, that was not it chief. Maybe you should stop as long as you still can. It's okay bro, it's not your duty to do that. You don't need the fame.
