There exist the many – the herd. The herd is composed of two types: the last man, and the slave.
The last man is the quintessential mediocre man. Striving solely for comfort and contentment, an end which makes him lazy and contemptible, the last man is wholly devoid of any creative urge within, and blind to higher values which render creativity possible.
The slave, in contrast, is a weak and sickly human being, who suffers from himself and is filled with what Nietzsche called ressentiment – a festering hatred of life generated by feelings of impotence in the face of an external reality he feels to be overpowering and threatening.
“There is among men as in every other animal species an excess of failures, of the sick, degenerating, infirm, who suffer necessarily; the successful cases are, among men, too, always the exception” (Beyond Good and Evil)
The presence of ressentiment conjures feelings of envy within the slave towards all those who do not suffer as they do – namely, the higher human beings. This envy motivates the slave to take vengeance on the higher humans. Banding together to obtain a “communal feeling of power” – the only type of power available to the slave – and under the pretext of calls for equality, the slave attempts to bring down to a more mediocre level all those higher than him through the construction of a slave, or herd, morality.
“The morality that would un-self man is the morality of decline par excellence—the fact, “I am declining,” transposed into the imperative, “all of you ought to decline”…This only morality that has been taught so far, that of un-selfing, reveals a will to the end; fundamentally, it negates life.” (Ecce Homo)
A herd morality inverts the natural values of life. The individual who is strong and independent – who attains feelings of power spontaneously through their creative endeavors and “great health” – is deemed by herd morality to be “evil”. On the other hand, all those who belong to the herd: the mediocre last men, and the weak and impotent slaves – the “vengeful disguised as judges” (OGM) – are deemed to be “good”.
We are in the age where we are attempting to legislate the comfort of those who are "unwilling to work." Nietzsche's dystopia is grasping our society by the throat and tightening its nihilistic grip of the normalization of mediocrity.

Basic calls to mindfulness throughout the day. You can't tame a stallion by locking it in a pen, it will go insane and you'll never break it.
To tame a stallion, you put it on a rope in an open pasture and slowly shorten the rope every day. Eventually, the stallion has gotten used to the short rope and a small area to roam, allowing you to keep it in a pen.
The mind is no different. Slowly rope your mind in by taking away the things that aren't healthy one by one, specifically, the excess of activities/foods/drugs that give you a hit of dopamine.
A dopamine fast is one of the best ways to break the cycle.
Jaxon Kelly
How long and how often should I do a dopamine fast? This is something new I learned about.
I was thinking of doing it like this: >3 hours once a week until I am comfortable with it. >6 hours once a week until I am comfortable with it. >12 hours once a week until I am comfortable with it. >Full 24 hour once a week until I am comfortable with it
Then just a 36 hours dopamine fast once every other month? Bear in mind I am a full blown fucking meme. Neet, High IQ, closer to 30 than 20, "internet addiction", uni drop out, fat but use to be athletic.

Nietzsche's philisophy would be rock solid if didn't ignore the fact crime, which is a detriment to the health of the world and capability of the individuals within them, is a highly profitable industry.
Jose Butler
Daily reminder that Nietzsche was a fervent christian, became atheist because he readed some jew bullshit about christianity, then had a hardon of music because he thought music had the meaning of life in itself, believed wagner was a god, then realized he was just a human, fell into depression and despaired without even realizing that all was because he read some rabbi that was still assblasted that jesus was for all the world and not only the jews muh chosen deceitful baal-worshippers edomites
Christian Reed
I’m curious what your train of thought is on why crime changes its validity
daily reminder that most of the revisionist of the bible is done by jew scholars who have extremely heretical books about jesus and proclaim that all the bible was written like in the second century after christ by only conjectures and extremely biased arguments, and push this narrative in the academia
Nietzsche was influenced by those writers, and in fact was influeced so much that he thought anti-semitism was just stupid and unfounded
Christopher Butler
I don't think something being highly profitable would negate its being undesirable to Nietzsche. He even "names the Jew" in the Anti-Christ as a group which has profited from disseminating the equalitarian ideology he thinks is unhealthy (before u get too excited, he thinks this is Chad on the part of the Jew, and that the Jew has an admirable will to power)
Isaiah Morgan
i have a trick question for you, to test your knowledge of nietzky.
What did Nietzsche think of Buddhism?
Jace Perez
It's immensely more profitable to extort from the slaves than it is anything else. You need a fair society where individuals aren't subject to this sort of extortion or else Nietzsche's philosophy is reduced to being more hypothetical than practical in most situations. I'm not knocking Nietzsche's entire philosophy so much as I'm knocking the idea that ardent individualism is the best solution to fixing pervasive herd mentality. The strive towards being the higher man always carries the responsibility of being a responsible steward for the world and the herd. This is why biblical prophets were always compared to shepards.
Adrian Rivera
He thinks anti-semitism is stupid despite being fully aware of the tricks Jews play. He describes them in detail in the Anti-Christ, and places as much blame on the people who fall for the tricks as the Jews themselves.
Protip: Christianity is just boneless Judaism
Michael Brooks
>The strive towards being the higher man always carries the responsibility of being a responsible steward for the world and the herd. That's where you're wrong, kiddo
Justin Bell
I think all of Nietzsche philosophy can be disregarded then because the last man could be very easily explained by the debt-fueled capitalism that just strives towards the will to power of money, the fact that a fully theological christian society would be against usury would negate completely the viability of the last man
>individualism
That's a very naive viewpoint of the world, since we are controlled by desires and belief is the only thing that can push us towards other things that aren't uncontrolled desire, believing in yourself just makes desire the ultimate belief and makes you fap all day to anime porn
Striving to something better is inherently having faith in something better, christianity is far ahead on this when it realizes nothing in this world can crush desire other than redemption in the trascendent, honestly the best example of why nietzsche was wrong is seeing modern society, seeking redemption in desire itself, and that's why dopamine-fast is a thing, nietzsche main issue is that we don't believe enough in christianity, not that we shouldn't believe
Oliver Phillips
I believe jung said something along the lines of you do not want not want to be a shepherd and lead a flock of sheep, you to teach the individual to break free from the flock.
Henry Kelly
>nietzsche >ardent individualism maybe for like 10-15 people in history, the rest are and will only ever be herd
OP is right in his description of the last man and slave, but he's wrong to think Nietzsche cared about the herd or slaves. there is not a self-help manual in Nietzsche the way you might find in stoic writing. he's not writing for you. he's writing for rothchild's kids, or bush's kids, or trump's kids. people with actual power who need to not be like bill gates and warren buffets kids and use all their immense wealth for retarded shit like feeding starving niggers, instead of building, creating something. they only exhibit christian slave morality, and can't think of anything better to do with their power than to rid themselves of it.
Nietzsche only cared about the herd mentality pervading and creating a milieu in which the greats, the elite, the aristocrats are poisoned.
Jeremiah Walker
This disregard of intertwined responsibility was fine back when the human population wasn't 7 billion people, and there wasn't as nearly as much of a globalized society. Shared progress isn't inherently a bad thing. The internet could've remained a DARPA project and not have became the driving force behind the Information Age for example. It's power could've been exploited and withheld and we'd have a far more unaware and uniformed population than we have today. There would be nothing wrong with this in your opinion, despite the fact it more than likely had a net positive effect on your mental development since it was shared for dirt cheap, relatively.

Blake James
That's a gnostic viewpoint that doesn't consider the possibility of desire, the gnostic thinks he can be perfect, that he doesn't need redemption, that he can break free as long as he wills it, wrong
That's why early or later the gnostic just believes in desire itself and tries all kinds of stuff to become better at fulfilling their desire, see tantric yoga, magick, orgies, etc...
The gnostic just despairs because he thinks he can be perfect but the cognitive dissonance between his "common" nature with others and his belief makes him lose faith

>he doesn't even know the great kings like Louis IX and how they were great christians who pushed for justice, mercy, less sinful society and still knew how to create and expand power
Jack Garcia
Hey, I don't personally disregard it. But then, I'm not a higher man. Being the higher man Nietzsche talks about doesn't have to do with how much you help the world. Caring about that stuff is something we have to do to survive as plebs, who depend on each other's cooperation to get by. I think Nietzsche is saying that if you are ever in a position to do whatever you want, you should look "beyond good and evil" (which are our pleb concepts) in deciding what to do

Hypothetical for anyone who wants to answer it:
If you were rich enough to not have to work (sell your time for money), how would you spend your hours trying to move closer towards becoming an ubermench? What would you dedicate your time to?
What is a noble enough endeavor to commit your life to?
Snuggling and fucking a pretty girl after I marry her. Maybe swimming and sauna and watching movies. Anyone saying otherwise is literally a gay homosexual faggot and brainlet for caring about stupid unimportant shit.

Going to Nietzsche for nihilism before being financially independent is like thinking you can meditate yourself out of a broken ankle. Its a fucking psyop to be made to feel like low self esteem is a disease when you are objectively poorer than most men in history. Theres nothing wrong with feeling like shit if you are shit, you wouldnt take your hand of the iron if it didnt hurt. Consumer goods are not wealth. Thinking an iphone is wealth is like a slave thinking new overalls are wealth. Rich nihilists are the exception.
Its what annoys me about jordan peterson, the solution to being in the gulag is getting the fuck outta the gulag not finding more suffering to voluntarily take up.
There is no one that create wealth at the rate that consumer goods get cheaper. Fuck all this sophistry and end keynesian central banks to fix your nihilism

I do amateur boxing and draw with aspirations of making cartoons someday.

If you weren't such a slave you would give a shit about the mediocrity of others

Elijah Jenkins
You've understood nothing. Crime is just a moral judgement, think of the higher man as a lion and the lower as sheep. Eating sheep is no crime from the lion's viewpoint. But the sheep hate the strong lion amd call him a criminal.
Dominic James
A lion that eats too many sheep kills itself
Nathan Peterson
Ps. >christcuckery On Jow Forums no less. Let me guess, you christcucks also hate capitalist jews lol. But your life philosophy is jewish to the literal core (Nietzsche also wrote on this).
My true purpose is to fuck girls that oppressive society has deemed underage. I am a true ubermensch.
Landon Wright
Nobody with a sound mind goes to Nietzsche for nihilism, they go to Nietzsche to further define nihilism, with the aim of overcoming it.
If you truly believe that one cannot meditate oneself out of a broken ankle, quite frankly you are a fool.
Even ending Keynesian simply replaces it with another economic system, and economic systems are always collective system with a subjective aim, thus it is an impetus to nihilism itself, as is undermines the underlying existentialism, where-in the solution to Nihilism is planted.
You are retarded and have a lot to learn.
Gabriel Flores
What do you do when you get the fuck out?
It gets boring after a while. Thus increased responsibility seems to be the answer for most.
Christian Parker
>Nobody with a sound mind goes to Nietzsche for nihilism, they go to Nietzsche to further define nihilism, with the aim of overcoming it. You misread me, I said going to nietzsche to medicate nihilism not to find it >If you truly believe that one cannot meditate oneself out of a broken ankle, quite frankly you are a fool. I didn't comment on the limitations of meditation I commented on its relative efficiency i.e you could walk around the whole world to end 1m to your right or you could just move to the right.
going to Nietzsche to solve nihilism before you've ruled out the being poor is retarded. Believing you aren't poor because you're brainwashed to believe cpi is value creates nihilism; your intuition knows you are poor but your conscious mind tells you otherwise. when you obtain objective wealth you're not nihilistic.
If you need to be enslaved to not be bored I envy you
David Cox
>when you obtain objective wealth you're not nihilistic.
If you believe this, you put moral value in wealth, which is fine, but it has no weight in the nihilism argument. A guy could just as easily say that wealth is a nasty figment of ones imagination and is a pointless drive. This is a person who shares the same fate as even the deepest addict and wealthiest magnate, yet both "live" in the process. Both die. There is no overcoming nihilism, only distracting, and the pursuit of money is a retarded waste of time, and is on the same level as injecting fentanyl.
Hudson King
>moral value in wealth absolutely. but wealth not consumerism. I'm saying the lie of wealth being cpi is the cause of the belief of a lack of struggle. You become nihilistic but don't think its wealth because you're told since birth and index of consumer goods is wealth. Your nihilism is the truth, its your body trying to get you to move, that's the purpose of pain to make you change.
