Nietzsche

  1. My current obsession. I am repeating myself here. But I really want to write something of substance about this guy one day. I think he plays devil's advocate with our minds. Forcing us to challenge our assumptions.
    Positives so far?
    -artistic, loved music
    -psychological insights
    -fresh insights
    -witty, funny
    -shows us there is more than one way to think, not just the linear, logical model
    -high energy
    -well read on Greek culture
    -encourages us to choose the lone path and think for ourselves
    -live life to the full

    Negatives so far?
    -thinks Christians are losers
    -sometimes the individual is not above the herd but actually below it
    -too arrogant, sometimes the herd is right
    -potentially dangerous if we take him too seriously
    -mentally ill?
    -makes fun of "conscience" but we need it more than he realises
