"Cosmos and Psyche", Nietzsche and 2Pac, and the Awesomeness of Annotations

NIETZSCHE Archive:
Nice, December 14, 1887: Letter to Carl Fuchs

Dear and worthy friend,

[...] Throughout the last years the vehemence of my inner vibrations has been frightening. Now that I have to move on to a new and higher form of expression, I need first of all a new sense of alienation, a still greater depersonalization. [....]

In Germany there is much complaining about my "eccentricities." But since it is not known where my center is, it won't be easy to find out where or when I have thus far been "eccentric." That I was a philologist, for example, meant that I was outside my center (which fortunately does not mean that I was a poor philologist). Likewise, I now regard my having been a Wagnerian as eccentric. It was a highly dangerous experiment; now that I know it did not ruin me, I also know what significance it had for me—it was the most severe test of my character. [...]

[....] So far no one had had enough courage and intelligence to reveal me to my dear Germans. My problems are new, my psychological horizon frighteningly comprehensive, my language bold and clear; there may well be no books written in German which are richer in ideas and more independent than mine.

It's pronounced 'Sch-oh-pen-hauer'...

Nietzsche-You really want to think like a guy who drove himself insane under the burden of having to invent a new morality for a godless age? The Marx Bros embody this oxymoron style and you get a laugh out of it.

[guitaoist]

Interesting. The burden was heavy, in fact as heavy as it gets, as far as he's concerned. He says that not only his destiny but the destiny of humanity at stake if he was to fail.

The best info in "Cosmos" was that Nietzsche composed his ZARATHUSTRA during a very rare Saturn-Neptune-Pluto alignment. good stuff

I also find that a lot of the best knowledge that I come across is also personal. I mean, the facts are the same, but it's what people learn from that knowledge and how they apply it to their lives that makes learning it worthwhile. :)

When a person is logical, they do not live in a bubble, they are actually living and understanding reality the way it really is.

[pythagoras9]

Ha ha ha, we are still friends, aren't we?

[pythagoras9]

Whatever, mystical fantasy boy!

[guitaoist]
