Cringe
I believe that and feel no horror THOUGH
Which terror?
accept that u cannot be happy never matter what and enjoy life as an experience in itself
btw u should be 18+ to post here buddy
God is alive, Nietzsche and his larper fans are all dead, though.
Well I had a conversation with god the other day and he is completely fine. "conversation" I told him give hints of existence and everything I said came out.
ironically nietzsche was polish
and he thought germans were subhumans
what's more he ate his poop
not believing it
How do you deal with the existential terror that comes with this belief?
well he said it. you replace it with Will To Power. With belief in Ubermensch that is to come.
Funny Polish guy
For Westerners, doing moral deeds is point scoring to get to heaven
Only for Catholics
What does it even mean, that religion was decaying in his time?
Doesn't change life the slightest. Throughout human history beliefs in higher powers have been disproved and Abrahamitic ones are especially relieving as their god bear so much similarities with a really bad father.
Just continue being your self-reflecting self. Taking time to regularly find peace of mind and connecting with one's core values, as during mass, is still helpful. There's likely benefits to alot of the practices even if the motivation in a creators will is busted.
he thought that it had become psychologically impossible to sincerely believe in God
The Qur'an is also in agreement with the Torah when it comes to spirituality
It shouldn't come with terror, Nietzche himself provided a solution: to become better human beings is to replace the void that a dead god leaves
I've always felt there is an evil that permeates into everyone and everything. I think original sin and Gnosticism are both cope, God is evil and so are we. This is why we must expand to the stars and find more living beings to exploit and kill.
that's kind of a gay way of putting it
he believed that the solution was something available only to those strong enough to self-will meaning and morality in a world he considered demonstrably to be infinitely repeating, cyclical
a kind of act of self-creation, self-baptism, self-rebirth, a glory in the world's endless violence
fascism was the attempt to execute this on a social, national scale
the fascist movements were an attempt national self-creation, the creation of a new fascist man part of the mystical body of Germany or whatever
Existentialism is unironically the answer. Just enjoy the things you like and stop caring about anything. A century after your death and nobody will remember you ever again anyway, might as well stop giving a fuck now
this is what being "the last man" is
caring only about comfort, despairing of the world
Well, i'm not a hedonist. I still pay attention to and value certain things that do not affect me directly. My own comfort is still of immense value to me and it's more important than most other things, but i haven't placed it above absolutely everything.
Homo Sovieticus moment.
Why was this nigga so full of himself?
OK but like existentialism as a movement is about people who treat life with religious seriousness
it started out as an explicitly Christian perspective with Kierkegaard
the secular existentialists are people who would've been Christian in another time
Nietzsche literally writes in prophetic language and was the son of a pastor, and I think it was Sartre who criticized America as being unfit for existential philosophy because we as a people don't have a sufficient consciousness of sin
it's not really for people who are comfortable just sort of going through the motions of life
existentialists have always considered those people to basically be scum
I think so. I say it when I see something I don’t like as a joke
No, Homo Soveticus love the state and the government. I despise the tribal "country" shit.
Perhaps i failed to correctly formulate my position on the matter. When i said "just enjoy the things you like and stop giving a fuck" i meant that it's better to stop caring about the outside world and what other people consider to be important and dedicate yourself to the pursuits you yourself find worthy, not that you should thoughtlessly give yourself up to the pursuit of pleasure. Had i espoused such an ideology i'd have long since overdosed on heroin by now. I still value comfort a lot, but that's not the only thing i care about.
What he meant is that western civilization is replacing religion with secularism and mankind will fill the spiritual void with even more devastating new ideologies and factions. And he was 100% right.
I just don’t think about god (if he existed he doesn’t think about us)
If his solution led to people seeking to improve society and being good neighbors, it would be different, but instead his philosophy led to people being narcissistic and self-deluded.
i hste how normies miscontrue his words
God isnt dead in the sense of physicsl death! He's desd in the fsct thst we've moved on beyond thr need for God, we "killrd" him because we dont need gim anymotr!!!
Well, Marxoids certainly are worse than Christniggers ever were.
'god is dead' is about as logically valid as 'red is wet'
I read it as "george is dead"
Jerking off to shemales porn helps a lot though
I know God lives
existential terror that comes with this belief?
It doesnt. I don't believe in free will
i think the point of this statement was to mark the historical moment from which it had become realistically impossible to believe in god as a civilized man
it's testimony to an age of breakthrough in scientific knowledge and to what was going on in normal people's mind at the time
What existential terror?
