Friedrich Nietzsche: An Ode with Music

A collection of my favorite quotes and pictures relating to Nietzsche, set to a classical piece I wrote in an old German romantic idiom reminiscent of Nietzsche's oeuvre.

"Wisdom sets bound, even to knowledge."

A bit of self-preservational "alchemcal" insight lost on the "open every genetic lock and loci" fools at work everywhere today.

The Greek myths (Epimetheus and Tantalus, et al) are becoming the "dreadful" realities latent every "research" activity and "pure science" awaiting us.

Some keys are fatal when turned.

thanks for the thoughtful comment. i think it was arthur c. clarke who said that the progress of technology can be curbed only to a certain point, beyond which human competitiveness and curiosity take over and won't let go. truth in itself is neither good nor bad, neither helpful nor dangerous - it all depends on how one uses it. but the _search_ for truth is itself innately dangerous, you might check out philosophers like paul feyerabend and mary midgley if you havent already.

I've pressed the button that plays the video countless times - yet the video will not play.

[ProteanOcean]

sorry. the video works fine from my computer - all i can suggest is trying another computer. if that doesn't work, well, the video really isnt that great anyway.

[EnglishRepublicNow]

The video won't play - why?

[ProteanOcean]

it should work just fine. try again.

philosophical problems are bewitchments that arise from philosophers' misguided attempts to consider the meaning of words independently of their context, usage, and grammar, what he called "language gone on holiday".[123]

wikipedia on wiggenstein.

@voidforpurpose words are not experiments. They are thoughts at which point you lose ownership of the thought when speaking it.

"Anything you think about a lot becomes a problem".

Does that mean that, eventually, through a life-long dedication to philosophy, everything can become a problem to the individual who contemplates it?

He also said, "Take your time, go slow". What did he intend by this? Was he perhaps warning us to enjoy the present time as much as possible while holding off on comprehending the bigger picture for as long as possible, if only to prevent one from becoming insane from an abundance of truth?

[EddieMichielsen1987]

nietzsche was a german, so please quite these pathetic translations

[grmbtl]

He was definitly wrong :

"What does not kill me, it will kill me."

[voidforpurpose]

Feyerabend, "in theory", is useful, but in practice his "aNaRchY' will only unleash our "experiment in extinction".

Rules and codes vital are to prevent self-immolation as grammar prevents gibberish.

You can overthrow it in poetic thought experiments, but when you start applying it to the dangerous elements you risk what Madame Curie did: poisoning herself with purity without understanding the material she was unleashing & embracing.

Midgley I don't know & will check out

Thanks!
