Have you ever argued on the Internet?

I'm not gonna argue on the Internet if I have to pay, you know.

I mean...

Have you read his works? Who the fuck can tell what he actually spoke about or not? Or what's satirical or serious?

I gave-up on reading him, because I certainly can't.

I'm sorry you're right. I was silly to have thought that.

No.

(I did Philosophy undergrad and honestly never read a single Nietzsche work. Have to look up his name to spell it correctly.)

My philosophy professor once joked that there was no point teaching neitzsche anymore since coke and heroin were illegal. He also call him knee-cheese whenever he was brought up, for fun.

I for one would be pleased if this level of honesity was normal online. Admitting that no one reads Nietzschean works is the first step.

doesn't matter if you read it or not, it never makes much sense until it does and then you are basically beyond mentioning it in polite conversation

(you know who has read it and who hasn't after you have read it)

By the hollow look in the eyes of the ones who have read his works?

"What should I have to give thee! Let me rather hurry hence lest I take aught away from thee!"

I resent the fact that I read him and understood what he was saying.

What I wouldn't give for the blissful ignorance of those for whom his works are just word salad or the insane ramblings of a deranged lunatic...

I would trade my soul for that, only I already lost my soul by reading and understanding Nietzsche.

They should really put his books in the "restricted section," sealed with an ouroboros, and a warning that says "the words contained herein are dangerous. Discretion is advised."

I tried to read it, but I was filtered by the first chapter being a rant about how no one wanted to buy his books. (I think it's Genealogy that does that?)
