I always like Schopenhauer mainly cause of a saying he said “That human life must be some kind of mistake is sufficiently proved by the simple observation that man is a compound of needs which are hard to satisfy; that their satisfaction achieves nothing but a painless condition in which he is only given over to boredom . . .” I always loved that
There's definitely some truth to that.
Great channel. Keep it up
Amazing content!
Nice, thanks.
Nietzsche all the way.
Glad to see other fellow Indian st this channel
Do you acknowledge how true what Schopenhauer says just to reject the bulk of it because it isn't empowering? Me too.

Will to power
This quote by Cus D’Amato on the nature of overcoming really helped me understand the will to power.
“When a fighter gains the ability to keep his head up thereby exposing his chin in effort to maintain clear view of the opponent, he overcomes his nature for survival. He overcomes himself. Whereas his will to win, transcends his will to survive.”
In my book I’m working on I figured out a cool narrative to dive into the will in relation to the spirit of creativity and architecture of the soul.
Essentially, I’m walking through the park and I see Darwin and Duchenne studying a male bower bird building a decorative nest to attract a mate.
When the bowerbird steps back to take in his work. They pose the question - What is the difference between the bower bird assessing the design of his nest, and Michelangelo staring at a block of marble before striking it with his chisel?
What is Michelangelo’s intellect striving to express that separates him from the bower bird? 🤓
I don’t get into Nietzsche vs Schopenhauer. I just muse on Neoplatonism. I’m trying to walk before I run lol
That's a really interesting question. Have you thought of the answer? I don't see a major difference between the two insofar as they both are driven by the same drives. One is just more sophisticated than the other (perhaps that's your point?). The same impulses are at work in Michelangelo and the bower bird but have been sublimated in Michelangelo. To put it metaphysically, the will is imposing form on itself, or rather, the will is expressing itself; to answer your question. This is fundamentally what Nietzsche was trying to say with his analysis of the Apollonian and the Dionysian drives. Apollonian (form) imposes meaning and structure on the intrinsically meaningless and formless; Dionysian. The interplay between the two is the display of creation and destruction which we could call the 'aesthetic.'
This was just a comparison. Putting it in this format makes it more appealing on CZcams. Again its all just the will overcoming itself and giving birth to new forms.

Thanks man. Oh I have thought about it. Truth is, I have no clue and tbh in my entire project I don’t bite off more than I can chew.
This idea is the second scene of book 1 and I really just use it to introduce humanistic themes. So I put Neech to the side and just hit some Neoplatonic levels to get the ball rolling.
It’s a quick and dirty 2 page dialogue. Nothing major. Man is the measure type stuff.
However, I do get into the psychology and metaphysics of chaos and order later on.
The goal of the project is to just finalize something so I can launch the pod and discuss it all with anyone who digs my ideas and has something to contribute to the convo.
I would consider myself an artist. I basically provide an interplay between Greco Roman thought, eastern philosophy, psychology, existentialism, art history, poetry, comedy and psychedelics. So my interests are super broad but my themes are tight as a whistle at this point.
Anywho. Would be honored if you cracked open my project and I will let you know when it’s finalized.
as far as i can tell, your understanding of Hitlers will is based entirely on what his enemies say about his will.im sure you realize that the victors wright the history books. obviously they paint themselves in a positive even heroic light while making the enemy out to be a monster
My point was only that we aren't all motivated to become tyrants. People interpret Nietzsche's will to power too narrowly and I was drawing attention to that.
@@TheMachiavellians fair enough. I love your channel and appreciate the content. I felt the need to say something because it's a subject that is near and dear to my heart. The way the Germans were treated before during and after the war is incomprehensibly horrific
It' is really the Will to a Powerful LIFE=mc2 that doesn't need any other🗣️further🎺power🕯️🎶
I dunno, I think Schopenhauer is more right overall here.
cool stories, bros
I change Schopenhauer's "Will" to Causal Determinism.
I mean.. it is very much similar to each other
IT'S♾️IMMORTAL🗣️SOUL🪽POWER 🎺🎸✨🎶!
The differences are far from subtle unless this is your first time reading any philosophy book 😂
A🪽COMMANDING🗣️PRESENCE=mc2🎺🎶is far greater than🫦Commanding💪Obedience😂!
