So, quite literally, look into a mirror, and your brain will tell you what you mean to yourself. Make of that what you will. Just don't look too deeply, most do not like what they find.

To be fair I am not actually convinced he precludes exerting your will over others. Otherwise the idea of Napoleon being an approximate exemplar (specifically because he was a conqueror) would not make much sense. Again there is certainly textual evidence either way (as a counterpoint to the Napoleon example, you could point to passages in Beyond Good and Evil where he talks about the spontaneous benevolence that arises from power). I tend to be sceptical of a view of Nietzsche that is pro-tyranny but I also don't want to brush aside the aspects of his philosophy that do involve the exertion of will on other people. He may mean "setting values for only yourself" but he doesn't seem to imply that those values necessarily won't involve interfering with other people.

I just dont understand how some people require a religion to be a decent person. Its sad. When I die, I'll be gone, never to see a loved one again. I'll fade into nothingness as the memory of me fades with the ones that die after me. Thats fine. We should be kind and take care of one another not because there is no god and life is fleeting, but because of the fact that life is fleeting, we should make the life we live better for ourselves and others. Religion always boils down to "im right and you're wrong" when realistically we're all wrong and have no idea whats going on or why we're here. How maybe but now why, because there is no why, we just are by luck and chance. That means more to me then giving myself a false belief because I can't cope with the true unforgiving nature of reality. It honestly makes life more beautiful because of the fact that we probably shouldnt exist at all and it didnt take a guiding hand or all powerful god to make it happen. Makes the fact we even exist at all more amazing.

I fear the atheist who actually acts out what he believes

Great video and a very deep analisys of his often simplified and misinterpreted idea. I'm glad you pointed out that the first principle of a value system must be that life is worth living despite the lack of evidence or reason. There is a fundamental difference between what is rational and what is healthy, and to live happily you have to be irrational to some extent. Some people argue that creating new values is, from a psychological point of view, the weakest Nietzsche's idea, since you can't force yourself to have certain beliefs, but I like to think about this idea as creating authentic values (and not just rationally justified ones, like Raskolnikov's) even if they are against customs.

AMAZING VIDEO!!!! I've been on my own philosophical journey for about 15 years. Through Buddhism, Science, and Philosophy, I've come to my own understanding of life and reason for existence. I am glad I saw this video today because I often tell people I am a God of my own life. But they don't understand what I mean. This video and Neitzsche's idea of "God is dead, so become a God." is literally how I've been living my last 15 years. Thank you for this video.

Would you consider reviewing a book by George Santayana called Egotism in German Philosophy?

He says German philosophy is "a spirit of uncompromising self-assertion and metaphysical conceit."

The thing is, he has to believe free will exists as well. Otherwise, why would his writings convince anyone to switch over to reformation from incarceration? If it were determined there's absolutely no logical basis for this. Either it was determined to use reformation in an area, or it was determined to use incarceration in an area. We can't freely change it, and yet he tries to freely change it.

What is the foundation of this new philosophy? If he's condemning or dismissing everything before him?

I secretly look forward to advice I am not asking for. From California.

Everyone and everything is godly since they all possess the same soul that keeps getting reincarnated from one body to another. This is the simplest solution to the hard problem of consciousness once we accept reincarnation, and there is some information suggesting us to accept it too. Maybe it's not true but there is no need to worship anything else. I'm a strong agnostic atheist, and it doesn't necessarily mean such dark ends for me as suggested in the video as you can see.

5:05 - at least from Beyond G+E, I think this is a mischaracterization of Nietzsche's impression of science. Sure, some scientists / philosophers may genuinely be pursuing truth, but he argues that the majority are actually pursuing wealth, fame, power, etc., meaning that the death of God was ultimately a consequence of humans turning away from pursuing truth. Meaning, what has taken God's place in our value system are material, limited constructions, not a transcendent ideal giving life meaning. That's why God's death leads to nihilism and destruction, because ultimate "truth" is replaced by worldly, finite things. Great video overall - love the channel. Would love to hear your thoughts!

I think any transition will require a fragmentation of society, the opposite of globalism, into “creative” groups of like minded people, similar to the “laboratories of democracy” concept behind the U.S. founding. From these different societies some might emerge that are more successful, appealing etc. This could be an extended period of transition that might not come to fruition until we reach the technological stage of exploring and colonizing other planets, unless we can reverse this elitist idea of central control on Earth

When being kind, it is likely you won't be nice. Throwing people out of their safe space with knowledge of their situation is to throw them into the hero's journey. With every action comes the promise of hope and the threat of punishment.

Yet the human experience is so perfectly imperfect that it is naïve to just think that to go beyond it is a good thing, without considering what we have to lose in the process. Many have sold their humanity for the devil's bargain, and they have been very rich. And the fact that we are by conception imperfect means that our conceptions of "gods" (ideals) would definitionally be imperfect (because our conceptions of the world---including us---cannot imagine all the possible simple principles (physical or otherwise) that make up the human experience, inasmuch that a nested simulation tend to have a lower resolution and uses more resource than if it wasn't nested at all). To aspire to be gods is to reject humanity. To aspire humanity is to move closer to God.

I think data from large studies have proven to be valuable for these questions. We know hedonistic pleasure will lead you to ruin just by looking at the rock stars of the 80s, and witnessing what decades of drug use and partying can do to a human being. From there my logic tells me that seeking suffering is better than seeking pleasure. When you consider the teachings of Buddha, Jesus, Marcus Aurelius, and pretty much any wise figure in history, they will all tell you about the value of suffering. By just using our own history as data, science has given us the tools to find our own answers. It is a real shame that the masses don't really seem to value logic anymore.

In regards to atheism taken seriously, the rebuttal I would give is that arguably theists haven't given secularism a fair chance yet. In were going off the slightly over-generalized (but accurate imo) notion that almost all theists are indoctrinated with their particular belief in god hereditically, then how can we ever truly know if there was a need for god in the first place. I think it is entirely unsurprising that those who are predisposed to an anthropocentric worldview are the ones grieving at the prospect of god's absence. How can we really test secularism if we continually tell younger generations that they need a god to have purpose, morality, sense of free will, etc.?

I don't know exactly, but I predict we will be forced into secularization as technology advances and the cultural zeitgeist shifts. One of the problems I have is that the absolutist approach instantiated by various religions is no way to attempt to cope with this change. While there are some self-proclaimed religious folk who only interpret their scripture metaphorically, the actual devout believers take those doctrines literally, which I believe to be ultimately incompatible with most forms of societal progression. I guess one proposal (pertaining to morality) would be to adopt a system more like Santa Claus naughty and nice list, instead of objectively grounded, written rules. This way, people could believe in god without the conceited absolutist preconceptions. They would be acting in accordance with whatever they thought would land them on god's naughty or nice list. Maybe there could even be such a thing as objective morality, but it's probably best if the commandments were hidden away so that the people were forced to speculate about the hidden truth and debate what they theorize would put them on god's nice list.

While it is a love or hate thing when it comes to philosophical thesis on religion for most people and myself included, I must admit that it's fascinating exploring all the interpretations and points of view. Loved the Frankenstein mention! One of my favourite books.

if he wanted us to be rebels against the system,we cant because we have employers and laws to submit to,and we cant be our own rebels all the time.Also,the human need for God is not artificial.Its a true instinct that cannot be overcome by all,and its unnatural to rebel against that because life would have no meaning for many ,no matter how hard some people would try to replace it with something or someone else.Maybe not all of us,but a lot of people still find satisfaction in God who will give them certain gifts that no one else can within this life and mainly in a great after life to solve the problems of death,and since no one else can do this. Also, we could only be our own gods by nietzche's value system through devolving to self pleasure too often, or make other people gods once again and only worship them thereby the Fascist state sees this as an opportunity to make their leaders the supermen and replace God with themselves and direct their own brave new world of values and pleasures.

I've also seen the "God is dead" interpreted as a logical argument against the existence of god: What does the word "dead" mean? Its not its own property. A person doesn't come over with a deadness. A doctor wouldn't assess a dead person for signs of being dead. They wouldn't be like "see that, only dead people do that. Therefore this person is dead." Instead, they check them for visible signs of life and, upon finding no visible signs of life, conclude that they're dead. Now, I can't show you that God is dead in the same way I can't show you Henry VIII is dead. However, we have evidence that Henry VIII was alive but can no longer show any signs of his aliveness. Therefore, we cN conclude that they're dead. In fact, the only people who can't don't show any visible sings of life are dead people. With that in mind, what are gods visible signs of life? Whats the point of a God that you can't even show isn't dead? There's no point in a God that you can't even show isn't dead and God can't be both God and pointless.

@@DK-mb7dg just another interpretation that's isn't mutually exclusive to anything else here: that gods pointlessness shows their non-existence.

Orthodox christianity does not deny the become god/become one with god concept either. Isn't Jesus himself a son of god? But why do we call priests fathers and they call us sons? Aren't we god's children aswell? Philosophies coincide so much more when you dwelve into them.

"The Son of God became man, that we might become god" - St. Athanasius of Alexandria -> This is explained very well on the orthodox teaching channel Harmony, which represents and tells the true meaning of bible texts and the meanings of holy suffering!

Christ is the Only-begotten Son of God. Orthodox Christians are sons of God by grace. Spiritual fatherhood and sonship is a spiritual relationship of growing as a disciple of Christ.

He meant the highest ideals of his society had degraded.

In many ways, Nietzsche was to the institution of the church what Yeshua was to the Sadducees and the Pharisees. However, Yeshua had the answer to what should be done about it. I greatly enjoy your videos and appreciate the time and energy that you put into them. I look forward to the day that your intellect and wisdom lead you back to Christ. Thank you!

Jesus Christ, not Yeshua. You're probably not even Jewish or even speak Hebrew. Just call Him Jesus.
