niche vs schopenhauer
Whoa whoa whoa, hold up there, professor! You're throwing around Nietzsche and Schopenhauer like we're in some ivory tower philosophy seminar, but let me tell you something - this whole "will to power" versus "life is suffering" debate is exactly the kind of intellectual masturbation that keeps us from dealing with real problems. Schopenhauer had it right, man. Life IS fundamentally suffering, and anyone who's done ayahuasca or mushrooms knows this on a cellular level. The guy understood that our constant wanting, our endless desires - that's what creates misery. Nietzsche comes along with this Superman bullshit, telling people to embrace their will to power, create their own values, and what do we get? A century of people thinking they're gods, leading to some pretty dark places in history. Here's what's wild - Schopenhauer saw through the illusion. He knew that underneath all our striving and achieving, there's this fundamental dissatisfaction. That's exactly what psychedelics show you! They dissolve the ego, reveal the interconnectedness of everything, and help you see past the will that drives all this suffering. Nietzsche's philosophy is basically cocaine for intellectuals - makes you feel powerful and special, but ultimately it's just feeding the same ego-driven madness that's destroying the planet. We need less "will to power" and more compassion, more understanding of our shared suffering. What's your take on this? Are you team Superman or team "life is a mistake"?
