2026-01-07 06:50:21 +0000 UTCIâve been taught that itâs precisely in the dropping of the noumenal world that modern nihilism was born (meaning was previously found in âthe other worldâ, meaning was completely transferred to âthe other worldâ, when âthe other worldâ was dropped, meaning was dropped with it - something like that). I imagine the quoted passage is what my teacher was referencing. Iâve also been taught (by you, amongst others) that Nietzsche was no nihilist, he warned and worked against it. I am seeing in the 5th stage hence a call to anti-nihilism, or, from my perspective, happy nihilism (I wanted to write vitalism, but that has a meaning of its own and quite different from what I mean): cheerfulness, indeed, the pandemonium of all free spirits. But then thereâs another stage? I need to look deeper into this âincipit Zarathustraâ. Personally, I donât know why the fact that âthere is one world, and itâs this oneâ should be bad. I like the idea of being a (non-materialist) naturalist. I hope Leiter is right, that Nietzsche was one (too) (though⊠I donât know if Nietzsche would align with the non-materialist part?). And I can see that this could be a reclaiming of what was before âthe other worldâ became meaningful (âend of the longest error"). And talking of Paul RĂ©e, I think when I read Clark I would like to combine it with Lou Andreas-SalomĂ©âs book on Nietzsche. I have neither on my shelves as yet. Iâm not sure if Andreas-SalomĂ© writes faithfully (I do have her book on Rilke, and Iâm planning to read it in February: âYou alone are real to meâ. The woman had phenomenal lovers).

2025-12-31 11:03:16 +0000 UTCIs there a system to, or a reason behind, your use of different colors when highlighting your book? Also, about the point around 14:30: for the record, the actual record, because this feels important and I havenât said it anywhere else (mostly because it wouldnât make any sense for me to say it, since my published work isnât out there (yet đ)), my notebook writings are definitely NOT the âtrue me.â Theyâre not not me either, just that they are very much works in progress. A lot of them actually straight-up contradict each other, because I argue with myself constantly, which I think is what any thinker does if theyâre taking their thinking seriously.

2025-12-31 03:07:41 +0000 UTCNot related to the Ol' Moustache Man but I started reading The Brothers Karamazov earlier today in your honour. For now I love the way is written and surprisingly I'm following it without getting distracted by my own thoughts. Cheers to ya đ„
