Jfc please assure us that you have never read Nietzsche. If you haven't, that's cool and your opinion is understandable as just some political yea-saying. If you have read Nietzsche and don't recognize his world historical genius, I don't know what to say except that you might be a moron.

I am familiar with some, not all of his postures. I do not recall name calling as one of his philosophies.

Then perhaps you should read some more. He is a prolific sh1t-talker, e.g. his eviseration of the English psychologists in GoM or his contempt for the positivistss in the Gay Science or his mockery of the Annals School of historiography in The Uses and Disadvantages of History for Life.

Perhaps in your haste to embarrass me you missed the point of my response. I said if he were alive today. Where else would he have a platform to espouse his nihilistic leanings. It was meant to put him in modern context, not a critique or political statement.

To think some folks read these boards for the wrestling' talk, I come for the education!

Nietzsche: "God is dead!" 

God: "Nietzsche is dead."

Settled that one for you, thank me later.

Sure, but you were not-so-implicitly dismissing the legitimacy of higher ed and the "MSM" bc of their supposed irrelevance and/or political allegiances, I.e. they're just spouting esoteric, jargon-filled nonsense at best or carrying water for the commies at worst.  I value higher ed -- even the humanities -- and found your post insulting. But, I went too far with the "moron" comment. I apologize.

(BTW That you chose to link Nietzsche with left-wing institutions and ideologues is strange indeed. The new intellectual leaders on the right, e.g. Yarvin, Thiel, Vance, etc, claim his influence.)

Again, I'm sorry for my aggressive response. Won't happen again. Cheers.
