all relationships with men are sex work, you can enjoy him emotionally but your body is the basis of the relationship.

The healthiest marriage architecture has a man who leaves the house every day. Not because she wants him gone. Because he’s built for it… the territorial, external-facing, adversarial. He needs to climb something. Compete. Be around other men. She needs the opportunity to soften into her domain… to spruce, leisure, preen without interruption. All the things you don’t want an audience for. To be the version of herself that only emerges when no one is watching.

@lesliedouglasx @HellenicVibes My point is that there's no guesswork needed. He did explain the concept. All of his books are an aid towards understanding it; you just need to read them. There are no explicit references because his ubermensch didn't yet exist.

It has everything to do with the point that you've made. If he can't provide specifics, he's just engaging in mental masturbation, like a man imagining sprouting wings and soaring with the birds. And you don't know whether it's desirable or not, because since he's so vague about it all. After all, if the superman of the era in which you live is Napoleon, that's great if you're French - not so great if you're Austrian or German. In truth, it might not even be all that great if you're French - Napoleon got an awful lot of his countrymen killed in what was, ultimately, a losing venture.

“I’m a pathetic fat slob, so I literally cannot understand metaphors about verticality or mountain climbing” G.K. Chesterton, 1874-1936

“This, incidentally, is almost the whole weakness of Nietzsche, whom some are representing as a bold and strong thinker. No one will deny that he was a poetical and suggestive thinker; but he was quite the reverse of strong. He was not at all bold. He never put his own meaning before himself in bald abstract words: as did Aristotle and Calvin, and even Karl Marx, the hard, fearless men of thought. Nietzsche always escaped a question by a physical metaphor, like a cheery minor poet. He said, ‘beyond good and evil,’ because he had not the courage to say, ‘more good than good and evil,’ or, ‘more evil than good and evil.’ Had he faced his thought without metaphors, he would have seen that it was nonsense. So, when he describes his hero, he does not dare to say, ‘the purer man,’ or ‘the happier man,’ or ‘the sadder man,’for all these are ideas; and ideas are alarming. He says ‘the upper man,’ or ‘over man,’ a physical metaphor from acrobats or alpine climbers. Nietzsche is truly a very timid thinker. He does not really know in the least what sort of man he wants evolution to produce. And if he does not know, certainly the ordinary evolutionists, who talk about things being ‘higher,’ do not know either. Then again, some people fall back on sheer submission and sitting still. Nature is going to do something some day; nobody knows what, and nobody knows when. We have no reason for acting, and no reason for not acting. If anything happens it is right: if anything is prevented it was wrong. Again, some people try to anticipate nature by doing something, by doing anything. Because we may possibly grow wings they cut off their legs. Yet nature may be trying to make them centipedes for all they know.” G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy (1908).

@lesliedouglasx @HellenicVibes That has nothing to do with the point I made. Also, it is not only feasible but inevitable, like a pendulum swinging in the opposite direction, and it is certainly desirable to some.

@overhorseman @HellenicVibes It's neither lazy nor stupid because if what he demands of others is simply not desirable or feasible, then there's not much point in talking about it.

Do you know how crazy it is, to like a game for 2 months, praise it and enjoy it, then beat the game and see a name of a person you don’t like in it and all a sudden it’s bad game and you go and leave negative reviews on it?

Slay the Spire 2 is facing backlash after players discovered Anita Sarkeesian listed as a consultant in the credits. Gamers are leaving negative Steam reviews, saying they regret buying the game and would not have purchased it if they knew. Some are requesting refunds while it is still in Early Access.

Lol y'all do the same thing y'all accuse the left of. I remain the same, fuck the sematics, if a game is good I will still enjoy it and it's stupid to change over bs. Both left and right sides are idiots and not real gamers to me. I will always only care about the FINISH product.

@lesliedouglasx @HellenicVibes It's nonsense. He wrote entire books about what he wanted man to become. It's just lazy and/or stupid readers who want explicit examples, as if that even makes sense in the context.

I like Nietzsche but I think this criticism is valid: "Nietzsche is truly a very timid thinker. He does not really know in the least what sort of man he wants evolution to produce." Many people have remarked upon this, both slim and fat. Nietzsche hardly ever gives an example of what an ubermensch entails. We know that he mentions Goethe a lot, and Napoleon, too, but he falls apart whenever he has to be specific. Much of his philosophy just came from his gut. Some respect that; others hate it.

@KR3Wmatic Nietzsche's response. Pascal's wager is hedonism masked as courage and thus a "symptom of decline" in the belief system.

America as a whole actually has an incredibly unhealthy view of human sexuality. I don’t want to diagnose why because I’m sure theres many reasons. It’s the constant Madonna vs Whore paradigm. It’s very repressive and then out of frustration it explodes to the exact opposite extreme, then next thing you know you’ve got church pastors on Grindr, a president with 500 ex wives and weird little island no one wants to talk about.

@TemiXo_1 An even less popular opinion: marriage isn't about the man or the woman. It's about the children.

Unpopular opinion: Most marriages only benefit men. Women don't benefit from marriage unless the husband is financially successful and has resources. Argue with yourself.

@duncanreyburn His "positive vision" was equally compelling because it's directly related to his critiques: the Ubermensch. His critiques indirectly describe who the Ubermensch would be. This was his greatest idea and the crowning achievement of Renaissance-era philosophy which ended with him.

I seem to have upset some Nietzscheans, who are, of course, notoriously sensitive little last men. Chesterton is possibly being too dismissive here, but I think his larger point remains fair: Nietzsche suffers from excessive equivocity, which is especially evident not only in the fact that Nietzscheans don’t agree on how to interpret him but also in the fact that many Nietzscheans do agree that his critique was always more compelling than any positive vision — because he had no clear positive vision: his very much hoped for revaluation of values, for instance, ultimately flopped like a badly made cake. I still like Nietzsche quite a lot tho. I’ve learned much from him, and would even say that his pagan atheism is preferable to the stupid atheism of 18th century rationalists like Dawkins. But in the final analysis, even for all of his magnificent provocations and profound insights, he is simply not my master. And anyway, bending the knee to him, funnily enough, would be something he’d utterly revile.

@lovebeautyroses Nuance isn't always clear in some of the comments from evangelists. Your comments are much better than most I've seen. I know you're sincere since you're replying reasonably to me. I'm just an anti-evangelist. Evangelism is another tyrannical industry. Maybe even the same one.

@overhorseman I have always had sex workers around me and they’re the first to complain about the industry. Fighting the beast head on is more respectful of them and their work than insisting on nuance. Nuance is clear for anyone who isn’t afraid of losing treats.

Men who aren’t addicted to porn and use their sexual energy in the real world, cultivate passions and love beauty - they’re healthier anyway so please why would I want men to remain slaves to an addiction that destroys them. How is this anti men? What’s going on?

@lovebeautyroses I understand your concerns and don't intend to downplay them. Porn consumption and the porn industry are just two separate discussions. There's a lot of porn that's not made by the industry. Treating all porn equally creates a backdoor for other tyrannical agencies.

@overhorseman The modern porn industry has ties with Zionists and pedos so I’d say that’s pretty disqualifying imho. But hey some people want to dance with demons I can’t and won’t accept that as a way of life for healthy individuals. Wanting more for human beings should not be controversial

@lovebeautyroses It can and should be brought up, but not all porn consumption is pathological or criminal adjacent. I would even argue that most of it isn't.
