Nietzsche was a muppet
Mircyo
uhhh Søren Kierkegaard, så er vi her igen drenge!
CorneliusCornwall
Hahahhahahaa I totally get the joke.
MagnustheJust
That is fantastic...

Finally being philosophy major pays off
Nietzscheckyoself
Finally relevant...
TheGrubermeister
Kierkegaard's views on existentialism are like a plumber's views on wiring a stereo.

"Leap of faith!" *prances around like the intellectual coward he is*

I'm selling books about German philosophers, it's a Nietzsche market.

This is a joke which, if you get, means you've probably wasted a lot of money on a pointless degree.
SomeMoofMilker
ha, when I said that to my dad he told me to man up and get over it. good times
GarikEast
A teenager I knew shot himself with a rifle. Years later I found out that the boy and his mother had a dialogue extremely similar to yours.
SomeMoofMilker
right, I should probably find help. thanks
GarikEast
shit, I assumed you were sharing age old agony by the tone of it. Yes, a good shrink dug me out of a hole I never thought I'd get out from.
AlexanderSupertramper
Shouldn't it have been the other way around? I know Nietzsche was inspired by Kierkegaard but isn't Nietzsche considered more difficult?
pissinginthewind
Are you sure he was inspired by Kierkegaard? But I think it's referring to the writing style (in which case we might as well praise Derrida
pissinginthewind
for making it near impossible to care long enough what he means)
DashbowRain
Ever read Kierkegaard? in some texts he writes and writes and writes.... and i'm not sure if he really knew what he wanted to say...
AlexanderSupertramper
Haha. And yes I have. And I know he for instance has been criticized for an inaccurate terminology. Ive still had more trouble with N though

He'll show you the will to power

We are will to power

Yes

I hated Nietzsche because many people I knew would parrot quotes without any real thought into them. Perfect philosopher for angsty teens.
CertifiedTintinologist
Imgurians have this same relationship with Charles Bukowski.
Molvanian
I always found Nietzsche to be rather uplifting, but the man's been misquoted, and his work misused since it was created (See Hitler).
AlbaneinCowboy
All thanks to his horrible sister

Teens and Nietzsche don't mix. N isn't very intellectually challenging, but it takes more reflection then I'm willing to believe identity-
pissinginthewind
builders have.
SinisterPotato
This is true... Neitzsche is basically the first one everyone seem to go for then kinda grow out of it.
pissinginthewind
I know I did, hated it, then came back years later and find all the things I've been missing. I especially love how it's not really phil.

Nietzsche is a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there.
zzuil93
I'm really curious about how this works. Sorry I haven't indulged in Nietzsche or existentialism yet. I was told Nietzsche was too hard
SinisterPotato
Of all the philosophy that deal with existentialism or the being of humanity, nietzche is probably the easiest
zzuil93
Hmm quite interesting. I've only read the basics of philosophy and religion. I guess I know who to start with now. Thanks.
SinisterPotato
But then I realized "Fuck this" and went to a vocational program to study welding and realized it made me happier than philosophy ever did.
zzuil93
Haha I love reading and learning, but I've also done welding and some carpentry and found it really satisfying.
SinisterPotato
When I studied in Gymnasium Philosophy was one of my main subjects and religion was a minor. I almost went to Uni to study philosphy.
SchulzR1993
If I remember correctly, Nietzsche is still pretty unpopular in Germany due to the fact that the Nazi party liked him a lot. Is that true?
zzuil93
I'm doing a major in Information Systems and a minor in Philosophy because I do think it has helped me change the way I think about life.
