I couldn’t tell you much beyond this since it was boring and I don’t remember but: “God is dead” was not emo edgy bullshit but rather an observation that society as a whole was growing more secular, to way over-generalize the context.
I believe he grew up really religious and fell out for reasons. It's kinda why he obsesses about it. So to replace God we need a post human to deal with the vacuum that entails.
Ecce Homo is... interesting. Quoting Tears for Fear:

It's one of his last books and it's obvious his eccentricity is bordering madness already. It contains chapters like "Why I Am So Wise", "Why I Am So Clever", "Why I Write Such Good Books", and "Why I Am a Destiny".

That's pretty wholesome, they managed to find some common ground.
Yeah, I love this dissolution into honesty from them both!

That or there's some wild context we're missing.
Internet arguments if people were actually being honest
Classic bot conversation?
