Let me anser at simiolar length. When Kim Jong Un performs another nuclear missile test and nuclear bunker busters are available they will be used to ...
Not quite. the Will to Power is not a conscious drive either. It's all instinctive. Like an animal responding to stimuli, the external observer could ...
That's not how N. saw it. He posed Zarathustra as an ideal model, and Z. did not rebel, he just did what he wanted without any concern what authority ...
That's imposing value systems on N. Will to Power is central to his position, but for N., the true overmind does not acknowledge any value system. It ...
That was why the USA developed these nuclear bunker busters. the reasoning is, as Russia has them too, that Russia will use them to attack, say, a mil...
Because the retaliatory attack on Syria showed we could not blow up even one of their hardened aircraft bunkers. conventional missiles might be able t...
How am I discounting it? You praise him for heralding post modernism, and in the best tradition of post modernism I am admiring his marvelous example ...
Maybe experientially yes. There is the Freudian explanation that Wagner actually caught N. having sex with his wife, and this was N. defending himself...
Thus He Spake. And Zarathustra was so much more impressive than Der Ring des Nibelungen, especially when lit by black lights in an opium den. I don't ...
Well thats where we definitely differ. Wagner humiliated the guy with better mythology, so he had to prove he was a better philosopher, but he still d...
Well there's two problems. First, N. thought Plato was boring. Second, if you don't find Plato boring and read as far as Republic VII, you'd find the ...
Nietzsche would be disgusted to hear recommendations for Plato's Republic. N. typically starts with such vulgar rhetoric, eg: By starting in a vulgar ...
You have the advantage of me, sir, I have not read that work. Perhaps you would be so kind as to elucidate further your insights on it? You see my pro...
Ignore away. What you say is equally a comment on Nietzsche's attempted seduction of Wagner's wife. Nietzsche cannot escape from his own criticisms of...
Being one who was led out the garden path, I would agree, because almost all the rest of N. is moral philosophy in some regard or other, but none of i...
To provide current numbers, 7,300 of undergraduate degrees are in philosophy this year, out of 1,600,000 degrees, or about 0.5%. https://www.humanitie...
Yes, then you have to swear an oath out loud too, but the oath is to allegiance. You don't have to agree the rules are right if you are just entering ...
Being one of the elite who knows enough to write generalized insults somewhat on the level of Diogenes, would you be so kind to share your own opinion...
Thank you. I of course am not enamored by Wagner's wife so I don't have any opinion on it myself. I wrote my Masters thesis on "the Despicability of N...
That's a little ironic, as one common criticism of natural rights is that we are never given a choice whether to accept the social contract into which...
If one goes back to the natural rights from which authority is promulgated, then it appears 'the blessings of liberty' belong to those who have agreed...
There are two predominant views of Nietzsche in the USA: white and black. The white view is that he is an obscure and rather irrelevant existentialist...
I think the mature thing to do is leave them alone and ask that they reciprocate. If they find meaning in it somewhere that is pertinent to their own ...
Well the Russians say the USA did it first, then the USA says its the Russians fault, so I will be staying out of that catfight. I don't see the USA u...
I agree, that's why I think firearms for self defense have become a religion. People genuinely believe they are safer with a gun in the home, no matte...
Even from the purely academic perspective, research is now rarely funded unless it has a practical application. Maybe practicality is a better demarca...
That's true. The current posture is that there is no other option but to use low-yield tactical nuclear devices, such as the B61-12 nuclear bunker bus...
You are welcome to say that nuclear war could start in September. I am just saying that tactical nuclear devices will be ready to destroy bunkers in N...
Im not trying to be so provocative. If I call it a nuclear war, then I get weird people from the Middle East writing me and asking for my support in t...
It's not my view, no. It is the view of NSA Advisor John Bolton's view that the modifications to the B61-12, scheduled to roll off production from Boe...
lol. Maybe ivanka will open a hat shop in Soho, I hear pastel green is suddenly in. Currently, I can hear Kushner remarking how proud he is that Actin...
Of course you think that, because the trendy 'modern' version of pantheism, to which you ascribe, was a confusion with a similar concept called 'animi...
China tested its nuclear weapons last week, but the system they want to use in the upcoming 'small tactical nuclear conflicts' scenario for a world wa...
the USA does have nuclear weapons it could use now if it wanted to start a nuclear war with Russia. But the first nuclear weapons it can use without s...
They can't use the old nuclear weapons for attacking N Korea without violating the START treaty, so they have to convert the old ones into nuclear bun...
If Boeing does not slip schedule, the first nuclear bunker busters will be available in September. Currently the USA does not have any nuclear bunker ...
It wasn't to bankrupt the Soviets. It was a bluff to get them to the table for START 2 so the USA did not need to commission another heavy water plant...
I did. And the first nuclear weapons for attacking N Korea, and Iran, and Syria, and the Balkans, and anyone attacking Gibraltar, not the least, could...
Because Trident defense systems can also mount a nuclear attack, and an SDI system could not stop B2s dropping B61-12s, the 'logic' on whether to purs...
