Nietzsche's Most Dangerous Idea | The Übermensch

The Übermenschis one of Nietzsche's most famous ideas. They are meant to be the next evolution of mankind and a way to move beyond the values imposed on the world by religion. But it is also perhaps Nietzsche's most misunderstood idea. Often they are painted as simply a very powerful person or a sort of superhero, which gives an interpretation of the idea which is at best incomplete and at worst deeply misleading. So today let's get to grips with the Übermensch: Nietzsche's most famous and least understood idea.

people talk as if Nietzsche defended master morality and the ubermansch represented that, when in reality the idea is that the ubermansch sits outside of master and slave morality

Where you see an existential crisis, I see an existential opportunity.

Thank you for giving justice to Nietzsche and his ideas. When I've read Also Spracht Zarathustra 16 years ago for the first time I was surprised at how his views of life and humanity were full of joy and courage. And for me always felt strange how everyone could call him an egoist, edgy philosopher. Thank you, really

You made me like Nietzsche so much that I asked for him for Christmas and got all of his works ❤

I think people tend to take ideas like the ubermensch, the sigma male, the true warrior, and warp them to their own desires. What starts out as someone strong enough to rise above petty day-to-day quarrels, as it reaches wider appeal and falls under increased social adoption and decreased scrutiny, becomes one who is simply supremely well equipped to deal with such problems. Instead of reshaping sexual values, they become a symbol of the ultimate sexual prowess. Instead of giving and teaching others to earn for themselves, they become someone who no one dares take from. When you forget the importance of the suffering, people invision a superman who cannot be made to suffer.

Nietzsche saw Goethe as a the closest one to ubermensch, and he was not built or a conquerer, he lived life on his own terms and progressed life to his own.

This video seems the perfect companion of your "Notes from Underground" video. Nietzsche's last man is exactly the protagonist of the novel by Dostoevskij. Brilliant work, keep going.

In "Letters from the Underground" by Dostoevsky a great example of a The Last Man is given. Someone so utterly miserable, moralizing and dangerous to those who trust in him. Dostoevsky is a great addition to Nietzsche

I love your videos about Nietzsche because is almost as if you get the closest to what he actually meant, although we’d never know what he actually meant, it feels just right and the way you present your ideas in your videos are so compelling and just mind grabbing I can’t put my attention away even if I tried, thank you! You’re and amazing communicator ❤

I've only read Beyond Good and Evil (a long time ago) and remember enjoying it greatly. My takeaway was that the ubermensch was a man who formulates his own value system rather than simply accepting whatever is on offer. Now I'll watch the video and see how that squares with your presentation.

Very well said and one of the better discussions of the Old Sage on these internets. Bravo!

Amazing work condensing his idea to easily absorbable pieces! This video and Notes from the Underground are espacially effective at pointing out the problems that made so many people miserable(including myself) but are painfully unaware of.

This video was really powerful to me and evoked a lot of optimistic thoughts. I saved it to a small playlist of videos to keep coming back to, in order to not lose sight of important ideas and perspectives I want to internalise and keep in mind throughout life. Definitely inspired me to read Nietzsche and more philosophy so I can benefit from the wisdom of these lifelong deep thinkers. So thank you, I really do have a deep gratitude for you making these videos and that I found them
