In The Genealogy of Morals, Nietzsche spends the entire final third of the book answering a single question: what is the meaning of ascetic ideals?
The ascetic ideal in Nietzsche's philosophy is the form that nihilism takes, it is that which promotes a movement away from the world, from the body, from the flesh, from our humanity. He sees this principle at work in every realm of human endeavor, from art to religion to philosophy and even modern science.
In this video we provide an overview of how the ascetic ideal - nihilism - finds its way into the artistic world through Wagner's Parsifal, into the religious domain through Christianity, in philosophy with Schopenhauer, and finally how even modern science, through Darwin and Copernicus and the like, provides a feeding ground for nihilism.

Has taken 4 decades to find someone who not only understands Nietzsche, but is able to convey key points. Well done!

Scientist here. I believe I can speak for many of my colleagues when I say: we are not seeking the truth. This is a common misconception. We are seeking to understand nature. In my opinion, Bertold Brecht described it best: “The aim of science is not to open the door to infinite wisdom, but to set a limit to infinite error”.

If people don't have a useful fight to fight, they will fight themselves.
This really gives clarify to current politics.

Ive read Nietzsche for over 30 years and this is a great summary of his whole philosophy. The Madman aphorism in the Gay Science has always been something I return to again and again. The United States is pretty much ground zero for everything that he warned about.

Well in paleolithic times, fasting would have been inherent to living and therefore not required as an imposed ritual.

Buddhism cooked so much back then. A lot of what is discussed here can be summarized by humanity's endless search for the very source of their own suffering.

I teach middle school. There isn’t much hope on the horizon.

Humans have the special ability to stop and admire a sunset with colors blending and bursting into every single visible piece of the sky. Followed by the moon and the stars and the shooting stars. We get the best of it we get to experience art and music and to have a separate world that we can go to just by deciding to. We are so fortunate to have an emotional connections, mixed with opinions, and we get the chance to see something positive about each other instead of dog passive behavior or seeing the other people as a potential meal for later.

Did i miss the conclusion of why our culture is sick?

I was at the park the other day and someone wrote "fuck bitches. Get money" on the pavilion. This sage took four words to summarize will to power.

i feel like Nietzsche would understand the Percival situation if he hadn't been a virgin simp all his life. Yes, sex and instinctual behavior is very life affirming, but that can easily take everyone s life in a dark and destructive zone. Ask any sex addict or people who only sleep around how meaningful is their behavior. And you won t have to look for long for people with lives ruined by decadent lifestyles, be it from unprotected sex, or protected but emotionally detached sex. Nietzsche simply couldn't comprehend how destructive sex and fun can be, because he probably never had any. While Wagner most likely understood that since he was basically a Rockstar (i don't know if he fucked around with his fans, i bet he did but it's just reasonable speculation) and probably came to realize, to some degree or merely unconsciously, that too much of a good thing, like sex, desire and intense passion, can be detrimental to one's life.

John Mearsheimer has made the point that Europe is a great museum; and I think his analysis is correct: the nihilistic wave has already destroyed what was once the land that believed one can know God through self-perfection.

After seeing the thumbnail I was expecting a 40 min Bad to the Bone meme montage
Not disappointed though

I'm only 13:30 minutes in so far, so forgive me if this comes up again later.... Chastity as a virtue or aspirational social ideal long predates Christianity in the pagan world. It's embodied in virginal goddesses like Athena and Artemis, and in organizations such as the Vestal Virgins of Rome. Family limitation--that is, inhibitions to procreation--have been recorded in primitive societies, such as the Inuit, and was also practiced by Greeks (esp. the Spartans) and Romans. If these practices are nihilistic, then nihilism precedes Christianity in history, probably by many millennia.

oh man, I can't wait for your Zarathustra summary. Your videos are incredible. Thank you so much!!

My problem with Nietzsche and his answer to Nihilism is the same issue I have with nihilism: its secular cope to the actual answer thar materialism and secularism leads to.
Make no mistake, I genuinely believe that Secularism is just a smokescreen to allow hedonism. If the bible never talked about sex or peoples genitalia we'd probably have just a few agnostics. Freddy himself died from syphilis as well, showing his motivations were also probably carnel.
But, this materialism will lead down a dark haunting and horrifying conclusion to secularists. If nature is all there is and we are nature, then we are obviously bound by the very same laws and instincts those animals are bound by. Our goal in life, or very reason for existing individually is the same as those beasts. What do those beasts exist for? Essentially, unlike most secularist, Schoepenhaur wasn't a coward and he was right.
Think about that revelation, thst your very existence is dominated by simply procreation. Your libido is the most important and powerful function of your existence. Its so strong that it confused you into thinking the act isn't just passing on your genes for live to continue to live but an ultimate source of pleasure and fullfillment.
This will lead down an even darker revelation that since this is the ultimate imperative your mind will make you make decisions simply based on which decision will make the chance of procreation more likely. Your ego and your super ego could simply be mental tricks your reptile brain crafted simply so you could breed more efficiently. Those pleasures that you thought freed your from the shackles of rhe church actually chained you up with an anchor. You are now a caged bird singing that its free.
But, if you simply leaped passed this conclusion and make the claim that it doesnt matter, nothing in universe matters, existence is meaningless, you craft a little easy dark lie that allows you to still be a caged bird but ignorant of materialism harshest truth.
Because of this, I believe almost all seculat philosophies from Rousseau to Nietzsche without addressing that dark conclusion will always fail because its fighting against a lie we willfully believe.
