Fascist or Republican?

[Imran Siddiqui]

As I edited in as you were posting:

Though the genius of Ecce Homo, IMO, is that he writes like people would about their own ideas if they weren't so concerned by what others would think (the superego exercizing restraint). He is writing what most people feel down inside but are afraid to say outloud. He is writing in terms of the base desires (the id), and digging into the unconscious in his autobiography.


I'll add to that is that he is mostly right. No one was doing what he did and he ended up being incredibly influential in all manner of things, such as art, politics, and philosophy. Post-modernism and structuralism owe a great debt to Nietzsche.

Why not?

Having a right != exercising a right.

Well first of all, when I talk about youth rights I don't mean 5 year olds, but if you insist on mischaracterizing it, then fine. Why not 5 year olds?

Or rather you were duped and the intelligent realized the brilliance. Hell, there were/are people out there that still think Darwin was wrong and was writing to exhault himself. They think everyone was duped by evolution .

The fact is you are the more common line on Nitezsche, the mass market "Oh my gosh, he bad" line.

0 points for originality.

If only they knew the truth, that Darwin was writing to exhault Nietzsche.

You say that it is unfair to arbitrarily draw a distinction between 16 year olds and 18 year olds, in terms of granting equal rights and privileges right??


If so, then wouldn't it also be arbitrary to draw a distinction between 16 year olds and say, 12 year olds? I mean if you insist that we use intelligence or whatever else as a barometer to grant equal rights and privileges rather than an arbitrary age marker, then why not grant intelligent 12 year olds the same rights and privileges that 18 year olds have??



If this is your reasoning and your argument, this is why I think you're a nutcase.

And if I'm wrong with my understanding of your argument, refresh my memory from last time you discussed this pet project of yours.

You just fail to recognize why I am so clever and wise. Perhaps I should write a book telling you how wise I truly am. You seem to go for that stuff.

Same with Machiavelli, even though most intelligent people realize that his advice was good (and of course most people never read the "Discourses on Livy")

Why? Because I believe people should be judged on who they are not based on who they have sex with or their birthdate?

It's just one of the many reasons he's a nutcase .

See many people criticse Nietzsche without understanding him. I criticise him because I understand him.

Exactly -- I think you're finally moving pass the denial stage of being a nutcase. Once you can admit you're a nutcase, all you have to do, is take the first step in getting professional help.
