Friedrich Nietzsche composition for piano and violonchelo with Pinokiofromtokio philosophical video. To Princess Ariadne, My Beloved.

It is a mere prejudice that I am a human being. Yet I have often enough dwelled among human beings and I know the things human beings experience, from the lowest to the highest. Among the Hindus I was Buddha, in Greece Dionysus—Alexander and Caesar were incarnations of me, as well as the poet of Shakespeare, Lord Bacon. Most recently I was Voltaire and Napoleon, perhaps also Richard Wagner ... However, I now come as Dionysus victorious, who will prepare a great festival on Earth ... Not as though I had much time ... The heavens rejoice to see me here ... I also hung on the cross ...

  • @Peteromich

    Pity you couldn't enlighten us all.

  • nice music, Nietzsche was very important and right now too

  • @MrClockw3rk What I think you mean is - somewhere along as humans developed a profound consciousness, our "will to growth" developed a second form of force, also a "will to meaning"? As to a meaningful search of higher-self besides the natural, instinctive will to power? If so, "meaning" is not more fundamental in any way up against Nietzsches "will to power" theory. Thus fundamental of all life forms

  • @mongoliafab yeah im familiar with his model for that, and I think that's a useful way to describe the conflicting desires of man. I'll also agree that the creation of the Olympics can be described as an outlet for a will to power. But, I still believe that will is a subset of a more fundamental need: meaning. Competition is still a tool to create a unique identity through achievements (we wouldn't compete if it didn't prove something about our worth to ourselves or others)

  • @MrClockw3rk What do you think of the Olympics? A form created in ancient greek culture to achieve happiness, or to cope with the will to power? The will to overcome the other opponents? You should read the "Apollonian vs Dionysian" theory of Nietzsche. One of his first writings, but fairly a gate for ideas and thought. Maybe a considerable source to look into, regarding this discussion.

  • I hope Jesus will suffer him rightly in the bosom of his LOVE.

  • i heard this guy had a little girl fetish and went crazy for getting it up his ass.

  • I am having troubling experiencing the dionysian.

  • Delightful, indeed.

    Can u tell how much passion he reveals? Man, these bitches should‘a given him some, but its the same thing now: if ur not 'cool' (retarded) u never get laid.
