"Today, opium is the opium of the people." Nice.

I have listened to a dozen of this guys lectures and have come to the conclusion he is a poor teacher.

[votumseparatum1]

@shilohwillcome You're just a poor student. 

[shilohwillcome]

@votumseparatum1 I have had excellent teachers.

[TheGamingPhilosopher]

Opium is the opium of the masses.

[natedaug1]

@TheGamingPhilosopher that is funny

[Gesmehod]

This is the one segment of the lecture that I keep coming back to. I sure as hell can't read Kierkegaard. =P

But he's saying something interesting.

Wonderful

[JayPhilosopher]

Good points. Thanks.

I think he is right that Nietzsche meant his "God is Dead' remark as a sociological statement.

[natedaug1]

@JayPhilosopher very true.

[shilohwillcome]

@JayPhilosopher I think that point is not original and is the general consensus.

[flatlanderdot]

@JayPhilosopher He meant it as religion is dead.
