Nietzsche's Aristocratic Radicalism

Lord geekington

Outstanding video. Fantastic, everything is so masterly explained. A thorough understanding of Friedrich Nietzsche.

I come back to this video all the time

Great. Good to hear another point of view than the usual egalitarian bullsht that is pushed on us these days.

This might be the best video on this platform hands down - coming from someone who saw a lot here.
I gotta watch it again for the 3-4th time, and take notes.

Major BAP Yale thesis energy 🔥

It makes good sense....if you are physically fit you have the motivation and energy to participate in cultural pursuits

If ill, much time is wasted, often isolated, little motivation

This is our western culture now..... declining physically and culturally

Did Selective Breeding and the Birth of Philosophy rip off Nietzsche?

😂 Abel kept herds and Cain grew crops. ( 76 weeks carb free)

It seems so me that nietzche had a huge straw mam when it comes to "human nature", his ideas were guided by the fantasy of power of those with a better social-economical status in society while not having in mind those who were born in the worst conditions of extreme eurocentric civilizations, a sadly epic tale of vane heroism for the mind of decadent german man

I am completely new to philosophy. What should I read before reading Nietzsche?

Ive watched this video so many times. I start working out every time

I sit on the fence with this! I think love, empathy and compassion (not the contrived and divisive woke kind of today) are fundamental to happy human beings. That doesn't mean you destroy yourself in the process, as we are currently doing in the west.

Plato gets it wrong in think the world should live for philosophy. It's the other way away. I also believe that the world informs philosophy and not the other way around. Platos idealism krpt him from seeing things holistically.

Do you say that Protagoras was persecuted?

Anyway, a great and beautiful presentation of Nietzsche's central thoughts!

A.H THE LAST HERO IN THE WEST ✋️

Neitzsche, ancient greece and a sprinkling of aphex and boc, what a combo

Nice

"Those who were dancing were thought mad by those who couldn't hear the music."
Nietzsche.
And , hearing the music is tuning into a wavelength beyond the limitations of the five senses , beyond space and time.
Mina Loy's poem sums this up perfectly.
"There is no life or death ,
Only activity ,
And in the absolute
Is no declivity
There is no love or lust
Only propensity
Who would possess is a non-entity
There is no first or last
Only equality
And who would rule joins the majority ,
There is no space or time
Only intensity
And tame things have no immensity."

This channel is amazing and criminally underrated

I disagree with the interpretation of “political”, it seems when he refers to political ages he means ages of democratization, or parliamentarianism, as in his time, an aristocracy is above politics because it concerns itself with great projects.

The Laws of Lycurgus are themselves a testament to high culture though!

Based! Headed to the gym now!

The Movie "7 Samurai" (1954) depicts this phenomenon very good as well.

Magnificent depth in your explanations and its many threads, and excellent use of visuals to compliment the voiceover.

amazing video. pls make more. I love ur videos

Nice work. You are, however, being careless with Athenian history in order to fit your thesis. It was not Pericles but Cleisthenes who reshaped the Athenian polity by transferring power from the aristocracy to the demes. Cleisthenes' reforms took place by 524 BCE, while the Greco-Persian Wars took place between 499 and 449 BCE, meaning that Athens's military and political hegemony, and its Golden Age, took place simultaneously under democracy, not under aristocracy. Pericles, a democrat if there ever was one, became undisputed leader of Athens in 461, 85 years after the rule of Cleisthenes and the establishment of democracy.

What's the song name in the introduction?

"Is it a coincidence that the culture who invented drama, philosophy, and science also invented the Olympics?" Excellent work man.

Dude this is better than 2 university semesters in one short video! Hell yeah! Your specifics are incredible. Thank you!

Very based

Really great video, thank you.

Wow. Thank you for this. Incredible content, brother 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

One of the greatest videos I’ve ever come across. Thank you! Boards of Canada rocks too!

This video was magnificent

Funny how in reality every aristocratic class without fail inevitably degenerates into hedonism and weakness, while the supposed slavish underclass of laborers subservient to the aristocrats are the ones who actually grow stronger and end up overthrowing their pathetic rulers. There is nothing truly noble in Nobility.

Fantastic analysis thank you

Good stuff.

Outstanding

Good content 🥰

The perfect pre workout

Excellent Video

Based video. Really inspired me to get back in the gym and continue my own self improvement

its easy to understand how the nazis came from this awful nightmare cruelty

Glad I found this channel Philosophy with Aphex Twin? Yes please

homoerotic nude statue worship is not "based and redpilled." it is something only a fake like BAP would promote.
