I picked up Thus Spoke Zarathustra, because I hadn't read any Nietzsche before and I thought it might be a good time.

Are all of his books so pretentious and utterly lacking in any defense or rational? Every section he just makes assertions, then vague anecdotes and claims he's solved the meaning of life. I understand that he may hold a very relevant historic perspective, and that his work may have, at the time, been revolutionary in terms of its ideas, but it was so self-assured and void of thought that I had to put it down about half way through.

Are all of his works similarly undefended? Does he have anything worth reading?

Anyone enjoy this book and have a perspective that might help me do the same?

I felt the same way about him.

He was known for being emotionally out of touch.

He was know for being an arrogant mad man, and I kind of agree. That's not to say that he doesn't have interesting or brilliant things to say, imo he does, but from what I've read he's always very pretentious and acts like his truth is the truth and it's all like that because he says so.

Na, all I get is rage from jon.Thats a lot of rage. Its funny how u think I give a fuck about d2. I quit its over with. The game is dead already give up. The only reason Im here to make make kids like u cry out and type rage essays for me. I guess my job is done.So all u kids can go on and play more d2 and use hax because u think ur good. I mean u all talk like fuckin 5 year olds, grow up already kid. And I could give 2 shits about ppl online. Wow a bunch of fags thinks Im #1 most pathetic online, like I give a shit? Grow up kid and then come talk to me.I was jk dave stfu nerd. Y rage @ me. Laz is my nigga idk wtf ur raged about.Amor hes a .11 spawn leave him. Ps fuckin msg me on d2. *Zuljian.Kid u blow stfu nerd. He s/e'd 20 times and nothing poofed then they "poofed" after u traded. Stfu kid u blow.Yet the letters are all fucked up right? Gtfo kid ur photoshop blows like ur dueling skills.So your saying masturbation means ur having sex with someone of the same sex? Your a fuckin retard stfu. I think I just wasted 10 seconding reading this rage essay.So Im guessing u were left on the street by ur parents when u were 1 because they didnt like having a mexican in the family. Cuz having parents are a kid is a good thing random?Thats 2 more gfs then u have ever had.Holy fuckin rage essay. Lets see. Im a joke becasue you blow? 2nd u r mexican, I have proof. 2nd I wouldnt have a chance on the streets? I wouldnt be on the streets like ur poor ass. I actually have a life and a job so idk wtf ur talking about kid. I wont be poor like u gtfo mexican. Besides that I live in NYC so gtfo. I like how u raged about me getting killed, and y would I cry over a game? You seem to be the one getting raged and raped by jsp.And Beg owns u kid gtfo.Apparently 1 person hates me, while the rest of the site hates u. I wouldn't talk random.Go back to Amor's thread random. You said I was gonna get gang raped and thrown away by my neighbors because of the dead body. And u couldn't even own a 2 yr old kid, that is how fuckin bad u r.Actually I type fine, maybe because you cannot read english and you are used to your native language of mexican. That is why u cannot understand me. Your prolly the fuckin ugly chick in ur sig.Thats the worst verballing ive ever seen ROFL. Thats pretty much wat he said to me a few posts back. Kid u blow u cannot win vs The Beg and The Zul tag team verballing.Cry because I wear your shit clan tag.Im not in the mood to verball the shit out of u snp random. I always do why dont u just give up with ur shit sorc.Hes making up shit liek he has more money then us when he lives in a cardboard box. If kid has a family y is he trolling jsp and playing d2 in the first place? What are u 40 kid gtfo.You think u have won, yet u r owned. I highly doubt ur mexican box house living ass has more money then me. I get more money in a day then u have or anyone in ur family has even had in ur life. Ur mad raged wtf u mean we cannot handle it? Your bad kid just leave jsp being verballed by me and Beg.So you work @ burger king, your car is really a bike, your house is a cardboard box, your family is a bunch a rats, 3 cats who live outside your box, u have swedish fish that have been outside for 3 years, and a bird who lives on the tree above your box. And money? Lol Burger king doesnt pay good. I have no life yet ur the one raging? I own a lot more then a d2 disc kid rofl. I have my own comp, sry I can afford shit kid. I got nothing? I got more then u?You call use nerds yet u say u have a family with kids. So your saying ur 40, yet ur calling us nerds? Lol kid is so bad. So its illegal to come home from school and go on the come and verball some randoms right? So its ok for you to get out of bed without showing and come right onto jsp to get verballed. Im guessing that is ok.He Verballed u kid ROFL LOLOL. U got me scared because I raped u? Lol kid you are so fuckin dumb. I just told u wat the post was and ur still raging about it. Ps nice random zon in ur shitty sig. How much u pay for it? O wait your locked, besides u had no fg to begin with.You say u rape everyone with ur shit sorc, but yet u blow really bad.He lost brain cells from swallowing too much cum.Thats u buddy, jsp already knows u r owned. Kid just get out of here already. This shit is so fuckin funny. I am rofling so hard @ this kid trying to verbal me with the weakest shit ever. His brain cells have all died cuz of rage.Verballed again. I thought u were going afk seeing as ur the "only human" to stop going on jsp. Kid ur so stupid y post the most stupid shit I have ever, and jsp has ever heard. Just go afk and get out of here.So your saying u got raged so ur using ur post to try and gain epride? Kid your a joke u cannot handle The Zul. Every time u post ur epride goes down each time. You have been verballed stop posting kid. Your posts arent making sense anymore and ur raging like never b4. Dont get an anurism kid.So you are gay.LOL HE LOST VERBALLED!!! Guess he finally gave up. I mean once u get verballed by The Beg and The Zul, you can never recover.Actually that was you. I know you want to be me so much, but plz keep your gay sex life to urself and dont try to be me. Actually dont try to be me @ all. I dont like mexicans trying to be like me.We are talking about u and snp rand. U die with max sorb on, rofl u blow so bad. Im no one on bnet? Thats why your a fuckin random on jsp, and on bnet wtf u talking about. Im known kid. Check the sig.2nd time you have said this, and Ill say it again, Amor was talking to you seeing as I am good buddy's with him. Kid u got owned by 5 ppl already just stop kid. All you say is I have nothing, yet that is all you say, and when someone verbals you, you try to put it on me. Failed again.Failed @ bad quote with bad bolding. Fuckin dumb Austrailians. Why dont u go fuck some kangaroos to get rid of some of that rage. Or get fucked in the ass by ur mom some more.My friend is canadian u fuckin gook. Y dont u fuck some more kangaroo's. My friend is 100000000000000000000000x smarter then ur rand ass. Lol and how am I raging? Your making up shit to try and verbal me, but u fail each and every time.

Nietzsche is hard because he uses the aphorism.

Beyond good and evil, genealogy of morals, the gay science, birth of tragedy are all more straightforward.

This one deals with the eternal reoccurance a lot. A lot of zarathrustra informed Freud and the work he did a lot. And Wittgenstein. I think Deleuze is the first person to treat his stuff systematically like coherent philosophy.

It's not that I'm confused by his style (it's a very upfront book), I just don't feel like it engages intellectually with the reader. Do his other books offer more rationalization or defense of the ideas presented within, or are they all in the aphoristic style?

I'm reading it right now, too. TBH I actually like the way it was written. It's basically Fight Club if it was set in the Old Testament.

Zarathustra becomes wiser as the book progresses. At the start, he's in his "superdy-duper-totally-woke" edgelord phase. He gets more humble as things progress.

Probably why most elements of Freudian psychology are pretty much universally considered a bunch of wank nowadays.
