Wow! Right from the start, EP hits a home run! 0:49 āThis hermeneutic of suspicion that Nietzsche is throwing out, is that Christianity, while presenting itself as a religion of love and compassion and tenderness, is a mask of hate, and fear, and another form of power.ā My sentiments exactly!

Have you heard of the works of Georg Lukacs (The Destruction of Reason) and Domenico Losurdo (Aristocratic Rebel) on Nietzsche ?
Iām sure you will find them very interesting !!
Thank you for all your hard work, enlightening and beautiful at the same time as usual.
It is very funny to me how almost every reactionary today uphold Nietzsche and denounce what they believe to be Marxism, Post-Marxism, Post-Modernism, Post-Modern-Neo-Marxist (since they donāt know the meaning of any of those words) because they think that there is a direct link between Marx and philosophers like Foucault or Deleuze when in reality those same post-modern philosophers rejected Marx in favor of new interpretations of Nietzsche thoughts.
And yet the links between them are quite obvious to me : rejection of morality, rejection of meta-narrative, rejection of modernity in favor of a Ā«Ā revolt against the modern worldĀ Ā»

Great work! Loved the more humorous approach. Very Dionysian. One misconception about Nietzsche that botheres me the most is the view that his tone was uptight, humorless, bitter, resentful or to put it in Nietzschean terms, English. (the incel vibes). Despite his pessimism and seakness he was at moments very much a dancing star.
His life affirming simply was not of the moralist kind, so in his ruthless criticism he appears resentful. His intention was to be at moments a Satyr, a Diogenes of his time and despite his admiration for Naloleon and Bismark, he was far from a brooding edgy right wing icon that people today see him as.

Every person ultimately decides what is good or bad for him. He might have been taught as a child that something was bad that he finds to be good for himself later in life -- thus a conflict within him potentially arises between his upbringing and his experience. But good and bad are ultimately grounded in life, and moral rules are not simply rules for controlling the weak slaves, any more than they are merely rules for controlling the strong masters. There is no such thing as 'slave morality' and 'master morality' any more than there is such a thing as 'the social contract', or some person living at the North Pole named Santa Claus ! Morality is a thing sometimes enforced and often abused by the strong. But its real origin is in the need to limit an unbridled human freedom that would ultimately lead to social chaos and the destruction of the human race -- not by some punishing god, but by that self-destructive animal called 'man'.
