Meerschaum and 'What Nietzsche Said'

Smoking my Rhodesian Meerschaum and talking about one of Nietzsche's statements from 'Human, All-Too-Human'. Cheers!

@interpolmo Thanks Mark, I quite like the pipe too, it surprised me a little. As for the Erinmore BM, I would say that it is a mild tobacco but with a great taste. Certainly worth a try. Cheers! - Ferrick

Erinmore Balkan Mixture isn't bad at all, just polished off a tin a fortnight ago. Have you ever tried the regular Erinmore mixture or flake? If so how does it compare?

Nice Meerschaum, I made the mistake of dropping mines once. Luckily only chipped the bowl slightly, it was getting to be one ugly pipe before I passed it on to a friend.

Some very agreeable ideas presented, I look forward to the next.

Cheers,

@VengefulAbeus Hi Scott, I don't mind the Erinmore flake, but don't go much on the mixture - something too fruity for me. Out of the three I'd pick the BM probably because I prefer the English type tobacco. Thanks for dropping by. Cheers!

I love the pipe and that's the truth. Always enjoy your thought-provoking discussions. In general, I think too many "truths" are mislabeled as such and only reflect conventional wisdom which is relative, fleeting and subjective. Absolute truths, on the other hand, are girded by empirical evidence that can withstand the assault of revisionist efforts or sloppy misrepresentations. Best Regards, Gary

I love the pipe, I myself am fairly fond of clays.

One thing that I hate about today's "modern" civilization is how whatever government in what ever country can manipulate what they want the "truth" to to be. When their truth is being told they have experts come to swear that what they say is true right from the gosple of Paul. When it is questioned then it is not them that is on the denesive, it is the person that ask the question just because they do question things they are wrong.

I believe truth to be existent on many levels just as our physical reality,

for instance outer and inner space. They both exist in the here and now

however the truths about scientific laws greatly differ. Gravity

has effect on my arm but not so much all the atoms within my arm. it's

not the nucleus with gravitational force that has the protons flying around it.

Point being truth varies from experience,knowledge,and environment.

Even then it's often personal truth and not exact.

i love this. but dont waste your amazing intelligence on the internet, people choose not to care, its the grimness of human nature itself

[blackdogleg]

I do not believe that is a Meerschaum Pipe . I believe it is bone.

Finally , somebody withreal educated insight on youtube ...go on sir!

I think you would very much enjoy Foucault and his ideas on Power/Knowledge.

He very much built upon Nietzsche's ideas pertaining to this - very interesting.

Do you have a degree in philosophy? I'm going to study it with history later this year.

Nice pipe also.
