Podcasts about Friedrich Nietzsche

Slavoj Žižek, Friedrich Nietzsche, Kehinde Andrews – the world has never been short of bad philosophers. But of all the minds who have graced, tortured, or otherwise afflicted human history, which one truly deserves the title: The World's Worst Philosopher? That's not an easy question; after all, philosophy has given us so many options. When Dan Dennett denied consciousness, was that the silliest claim ever made? What should we think when once sensible people – Philip Goff – convert to Christianity? Is Robert Wright, in fact, Robert Wrong? Is it the wartime quartet, or the woke-time bore-tet? Did Bentham really support bestiality? And why did David Papineau say that thing about women? Philosophers are supposed to be seekers of truth: lofty creatures aiming at wisdom, clarity, and the betterment of humanity. But philosophers are just people, shaped by forces that lead them astray. Sometimes they miss truth entirely; sometimes they stumble into it through terrible reasoning; and sometimes they make the world a genuinely worse place. Which brings us to the task at hand: trying to rank the worst philosopher in history. It's no easy feat. In fact, it's going to require the combined efforts of three of philosophy's greatest minds: Jack Symes, Andrew Horton, and (me) Olly Marley. This episode may also mark the end of our professional careers. But if we're going down, we'll go down like Socrates: making an unnecessarily big deal out of something that, absolutely, could have been easily avoided.

Trước khi trở thành một trong những vở opéra nổi tiếng nhất nhờ một giai điệu quen thuộc, quyến rũ và nóng bỏng, Carmen của nhà soạn nhạc người Pháp Georges Bizet từng bị một « cái dớp » : Bị khán giả la ó trong buổi ra mắt công chúng đầu tiên, rồi tác giả đã qua đời sau vỏn vẹn 33 lần vở kịch được diễn xuất. Bizet chết trẻ và không hề biết  ông là cha đẻ của một tuyệt tác từng làm siêu lòng những nhạc sĩ bậc thầy như Tchaikovsky, Brahms. Riêng triết gia người Đức Friedrich Nietzsche thì từng thú nhận Carmen đã giúp ông trở thành một con người tốt hơn ! Carmen lấy cốt truyện từ một sáng tác cùng tên của nhà văn Pháp Prosper Mérimée. Vai nữ chính là cô Gypsy - bohémienne nóng bỏng, đầy ma lực quyến rũ chàng hạ sĩ Don José, để rồi rơi vào vòng tay của hiệp sĩ đấu bò Escamillo. Vở nhạc kịch mang tên cô gái làm nghề quấn thuốc lá trong một nhà máy ở Sevilla vùng Andalucia, miền nam Tây Ban Nha này do nhà hát Opéra Comique Paris đặt hàng với Georges Bizet và ông đã vất vả lắm mới hoàn tất tác phẩm này. Để chiều lòng ca sĩ chính, người thủ vai Carmen, Bizet đã phải viết lại đến 13 lần nhạc khúc hát nổi tiếng nhất trong vở kịch « L'Oiseau est un enfant rebelle ».   Con số 3 xui xẻo Cũng đã vất vả lắm giữa rất nhiều công việc để tìm kế sinh nhai, Bizet mới tìm được thời gian và một không gian thích hợp để sáng tác nhưng để rồi chỉ nhận lấy những lời chê bai và thu về những thất vọng sau buổi ra mắt công chúng Paris đầu tiên ngày 03/03/1875. Có lẽ ngày Ba Tháng Ba không mang lại may mắn cho Bizet. Bị giới phê bình bài xích tột độ, khán giả tẩy chay vì một nàng Carmen vượt ra ngoài lễ giáo, dám phản bội người tình, dám tự do yêu đương, không phù hợp với hình ảnh tuyệt vời của người con gái chung thủy, dịu dàng, nhà hát Opéra Comique thường xuyên vắng khách vì Carmen … Bizet vốn đã túng thiếu lại càng phải bươn chải nhiều hơn, soạn nhạc nhiều hơn để bù đắp vào lỗ hổng tài chính vì … Trái tim tan vỡ Làm việc đến kiệt sức, Georges Bizet qua đời sau một cơn đau tim ngày 03/06/1875, đúng vào buổi vở Carmen được trình diễn lần thứ 33, thọ 36 tuổi … Lại là những con số Ba định mệnh! Vào lúc Bizet trút hơi thở cuối cùng ở Bougival cách Paris hơn 20 km, thì trên sân khấu Opéra Comique, lần thứ 33 nhập vai Carmen, nữ diễn viên chính Célestine Galli – Marié ngất xỉu. Khi tỉnh dậy, như bị ma nhập, bà la khóc và nói Bizet đã từ trần !   Vienna, bệ phóng cho một vở opéra của Pháp Vào lúc mà khán giả Paris khinh rẻ vở opéra tâm huyết của Georges Bizet thì Carmen lại được khán giả của thành Vienna, Áo, nồng nhiệt chào đón.

Biểu tượng của tự do và sức sống Làm sao có thể giải thích thành công này ? 150 năm sau buổi ra mắt đầu tiên vở kịch này, nhà phê bình Eric Emmanuel Schmidt giải thích : Không ai có thể dửng dưng với vở opéra Carmen, bởi vì đối với cô gái vùng Andalucia này, « không có Thượng Đế, quy củ nào trói buộc cô. Carmen hoàn toàn sống vì khoảnh khắc hiện tại, sống hết mình với tất cả nghị lực. Tác phẩm phẩm này kết thúc bằng cái chết của Carmen, nhưng tuyệt đối cô không hề nao núng hay lo sợ trước tử thần ». Carmen trước hết là hình tượng của một phụ nữ tự do, một tinh thần độc lập, một cá tính mạnh mẽ : dám yêu, dám giành quyền tự định đoạt cuộc đời. Khát vọng tự do đó là điều năm 1875 khán giả Paris, nhất là khán giả lui tới Opéra Comique của Paris chưa thể chấp nhận. Sự khắt khe đó với nhân vật chính Carmen đã tồn tại cho đến thập niên 1960. Diva Maria Callas đã bao lần nhập vai cô bohémienne không chung tình và tiếng hát, cách thể hiện của La Callas đến nay vẫn là độc nhất vô nhị, vậy mà bà không thể chấp nhận Carmen. Callas chỉ trích Carmen « hành xử như một người đàn ông đa thê. Nhưng phụ nữ thì không được phép có nhiều người tình ». Trong mắt nữ danh ca Maria Callas, « Carmen không thuộc về thế giới hoàn hảo ». Trái lại ca sĩ tenor Roberto Alagna người đã nhiều lần nhập vai hạ sĩ quan Don José, người tình bị Carmen phản bội, lại rất ngưỡng mộ các nhân vật được nhà văn Merimée và Bizet dựng lên. Với ông « Carmen là một tác phẩm hoàn hảo, bởi vừa phong phú về mặt hình ảnh, sắc màu, vừa khơi dậy rất nhiều tâm trạng của mỗi con người chúng ta, từ sự hào hứng đến nỗi lo sợ. Carmen là một tuyệt tác » Bạn diễn của nam danh ca ténor Roberto Alagna, nữ ca sĩ Elina Garania, đã nhiều lần thủ vai Carmen, nhận xét : « Thành công của vở opéra này chính là ở chỗ các tác giả, cả về lời thoại lẫn âm nhạc, đã khơi dậy nhiều cảm xúc khác nhau của con người. Ai thì cũng muốn tự do, ai cũng mưu cầu hạnh phúc, nhưng mỗi chúng ta lại có quan niệm riêng về hạnh phúc, về tự do. Ai cũng theo đuổi những giấc mơ, nhưng thực ra có mấy người biết được mình đang mơ về những gì ». 150 năm sáng tạo Đây cũng là điều đã đưa Carmen đến với những sân khấu rất xa lạ với khung cảnh của thành phố Sevilla miền nam Tây Ban Nha ban đầu : trên sân khấu ở Bắc Kinh hay Thượng Hải, nàng Carmen không phải là cô công nhân trong nhà máy cuốn thuốc lá, mà là một cô thợ giặt … Carmen đã chinh phục con tim của khán giả ở châu Mỹ Latinh khi vở opéra Georges Bizet từng dày công biên soạn được cải biên đôi chút để trở thành một vở Hip opéra, mang một chút phong thái của thể loại hip hop. Carmen cũng đã nhiều lần được các nhà soạn kịch tùy ý diễn giải, người thì quan niệm không thể để cho cô gái xinh đẹp và nồng cháy này chết thảm trong tay người tình Don José, vì những tràng pháo tay của khán giả khi vở opéra này hạ màn có thể bị ngộ nhận như một hành động cổ vũ cho các vụ bạo hành phụ nữ. Năm 2018 khán giả Ý trên sân khấu nhà hát ở Florence đã bàng hoàng thấy một Carmen giết chết người tình, vì một nhà soạn kịch đã dám thay đổi cả cốt truyện của Mérimée. Nhưng bất luận trong hoàn cảnh nào, Carmen vẫn là biểu tượng của tình yêu và tự do, của sức sống mãnh liệt và những con số 3 tưởng chừng là xui xẻo với vở ca nhạc kịch nổi tiếng nhất và tâm huyết nhất của Bizet thực ra chỉ là một chuỗi trùng hợp …

In this episode, Megan and Frank investigate the Mandela Effect. Why do so many people "remember" Nelson Mandela dying in prison in the 1980s, or the Fruit of the Loom logo as containing a cornucopia, or the existence of a movie starring Sinbad as a genie? What explains these collective mis-rememberings: parallel dimensions, a government cover-up, a glitch in the matrix? Or should we just conclude that human memory is inherently unreliable? How do false memories arise, and how can we distinguish the real from the imagined? Despite our cultural obsession with preserving every memory, could there be some value in forgetting the past?

"Sin olvido no hay acción posible, el olvido es el vigilante a la puerta que protege al espíritu de exceso de pasado" (Friedrich Nietzsche)

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) fue un filósofo, poeta y filólogo alemán, considerado uno de los pensadores más influyentes y radicales de la filosofía moderna. Nació en Röcken, en Prusia, y desde joven mostró un gran talento para la filología clásica, disciplina que estudió en las universidades de Bonn y Leipzig. En 1869, con apenas 24 años, fue nombrado profesor en la Universidad de Basilea, pero debido a problemas de salud renunció en 1879 y se dedicó exclusivamente a la escritura y reflexión. Sus obras se caracterizan por un estilo aforístico, poético y provocador, donde critica de manera profunda la moral tradicional, la religión —especialmente el cristianismo— y la filosofía occidental desde Sócrates. Entre sus conceptos más importantes destacan: La “muerte de Dios”: metáfora con la que anuncia el declive de las creencias religiosas en la cultura occidental.El superhombre (Übermensch): ideal de un ser humano capaz de crear sus propios valores más allá de la moral tradicional.La voluntad de poder: principio vital que impulsa al ser humano hacia la expansión, la superación y la creación.El eterno retorno: idea de que la vida debe ser vivida como si cada instante fuera a repetirse eternamente. Entre sus obras más destacadas se encuentran El nacimiento de la tragedia (1872), Así habló Zaratustra (1883-1885), Más allá del bien y del mal (1886), La genealogía de la moral (1887) y El Anticristo (1888). Nietzsche sufrió una crisis mental en 1889, tras la cual quedó incapacitado. Pasó sus últimos años bajo el cuidado de su madre y luego de su hermana, Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche, hasta su muerte en 1900. Su pensamiento, aunque polémico y muchas veces malinterpretado, influyó en la filosofía existencialista, la psicología, la literatura y las artes del siglo XX.

O que exatamente significa estar só? Como podemos superar – ou pelo menos mitigar – nossa solidão? Considerando que às vezes desejamos estar sozinhos, podemos dizer que a solidão é sempre algo ruim?

„Wer ein Warum zum Leben hat, erträgt fast jedes Wie“ – Ein Blick auf Nietzsche, Sinn und Identität In dieser Episode beschäftigt sich Gudrun Schönhofer mit einem der bekanntesten Zitate von Friedrich Nietzsche: „Wer ein Warum zum Leben hat, erträgt fast jedes Wie.“ Sie beleuchtet, wie dieser Gedanke unsere Resilienz, Lebensführung und persönliche Sinnsuche beeinflusst. Außerdem zieht sie Verbindungen zu modernen Konzepten wie Simon Sineks Golden Circle und stellt die Frage: Was ist dein persönliches „Warum“ im Leben?

Friedrich Nietzsche : philosophe aimé, parfois terrifiant, dont la pensée continue de secouer les fondations de notre morale. Qu'est-ce que le "bien" selon lui, et pourquoi sa philosophie est-elle si souvent mal comprise ?Dans cette conférence passionnante, explorez les piliers de la pensée Nietzschéenne : l'affirmation radicale de la vie, le concept d'*Amor Fati* (l'amour du destin) et la critique acerbe de la morale des faibles. Nous revenons sur ses grandes idées qui nous invitent à "devenir qui l'on est" pour échapper au danger du Nihilisme et à la figure du "Dernier Homme".*****Saviez vous que Nouvelle Acropole est réalisée à 100% par des bénévoles ?

Popular YouTuber Rudyard Lynch returns to assess his previous predications about civil unrest in the United States and where we stand today. We discuss the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the tie between trans ideology and leftist extremism, and why the housing affordability crisis is feeding radicalization. Lynch also explains the concept of Friedrich Nietzsche's last man and why it has created a generation of young people who are hesitant to push back against a failing society.  Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-auron-macintyre-show/id1657770114 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3S6z4LBs8Fi7COupy7YYuM?si=4d9662cb34d148af Substack: https://auronmacintyre.substack.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AuronMacintyre Gab: https://gab.com/AuronMacIntyre YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/c/AuronMacIntyre Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-390155 Odysee: https://odysee.com/@AuronMacIntyre:f Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/auronmacintyre/ Today's sponsors: Visit : https://www.christiancollegeguide.com Learn more about your ad choices.

On Lit with Charles, we usually dive into novels, short stories, and poetry - but in this episode, we're doing something a little radical. From the longest literary forms to one of the shortest: the aphorism.An aphorism is a short, striking statement - often just a line or two - that captures a deep universal truth. It's a form beloved by some of history's greatest minds: Oscar Wilde, Mark Twain, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Friedrich Nietzsche, to name a few.Today's guest, James Geary, is an American writer and lifelong devotee of this deceptively simple art. From his early fascination with language to his career as an editor at Time magazine and later as a lecturer at Harvard, James has explored the timeless power of the aphorism - those brief sentences that linger far longer than they last. His works include The World in a Phrase: A Brief History of the Aphorism and Wit's End: What Wit Is, How It Works, and Why We Need It.We talk about what makes an aphorism work, why brevity can sometimes reveal more than verbosity, and how these tiny truths continue to shape how we think and write.I loved this conversation - it's a thoughtful, witty, and illuminating dive into the distilled essence of language. I hope you enjoy it too.If you enjoyed this episode, please consider leaving a review — it really helps others discover the podcast. You can also follow me on Instagram @litwithcharles for more book recommendations and literary discussions.Let's get more people listening — and reading!James Geary's four books were:Reader's DigestWalden, Henry David Thoreau (1854)I Ching (c. 1000 – 750 BCE)Ulysses, James Joyce (1920)

What happens when a former military cop, existentialist philosopher, and Substack firebrand walks into a podcast? You get this riveting conversation between Corey and Christopher Armitage, who pulls no punches when it comes to democracy, resistance, and why “soft secession” might be the only sane response to creeping authoritarianism. Chris is a U.S. Air Force veteran, former law enforcement officer, prolific writer, and founder of The Existentialist Republic. From his early days in New Jersey wrestling circles to his transformation into an outspoken advocate for “soft secession,” Chris shares deeply personal reflections and bold policy ideas aimed at confronting rising authoritarianism in America. Through a mix of dark humor, philosophical grounding, and actionable insights, Chris breaks down: What “soft secession” really means (hint: it's not Civil War 2.0), How localism and economic independence can fortify democracy, What ICE agents, serotonin, and Friedrich Nietzsche have in common, And why writing with relentless truth might be the ultimate form of resistance.

Send us a Positive Review!Have you lost your faith in the old white man in the sky but don't want to lose God altogether?  We've got you! Join Val and Nathan in this enlightening episode of 'Latter Day Struggles 2.0' as they dive deep into the evolving understanding of God within and beyond the framework of traditional Mormonism and even moving beyond Western Christian theology. The duo discusses contrasting views on the divine, from the punitive, transactional God (whom most of us can relate to learning about) to a more mystical, all-encompassing spirituality aligned with the perennial philosophy. They reinterpret Friedrich Nietzsche's proclamation 'God is dead,' and invite a deepening of the idea of God that aligns with the foundation of all Wisdom Traditions and transpersonal psychology. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that explores how reimagining God as an integral, universal force can transcend old paradigms and awaken a deeper spiritual consciousness.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction and Welcome01:12 Exploring the Nature of God02:33 Nietzsche's Perspective on God04:40 The Western Concept of God09:44 The Perennial Tradition14:36 Comparing Western and Eastern Views of God23:58 The Perennial Philosophy and Human Divinity46:34 Concluding Thoughts on God and SpiritualitySupport the show Listen, Share, Rate & Review EPISODES Friday Episodes Annual Access $89 Friday Episodes Monthly Access $10 Valerie's Support & Processing Groups Gift a Scholarship Download Free Resources Visit our Website

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION The madman jumped into their midst and pierced them with his eyes.“Whither is God?” he cried; “I will tell you.We have killed him—you and I. All of us are his murderers.But how did we do this? How could we drink up the sea?Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the entire horizon?What were we doing when we unchained this earth from its sun?Whither is it moving now? Whither are we moving? Away from all suns?Are we not plunging continually?Backward, sideward, forward, in all directions? Is there still any up or down?Are we not straying, as through an infinite nothing? Do we not feel the breath of empty space?Has it not become colder? Is not night continually closing in on us?”~“The Parable of the Madman” by Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) “How much larger your life would be, if your self could become smaller in it.”~G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936), author and literary critic in Orthodoxy “For even creation reveals Him who formed it, and the very work made suggests Him who made it, and the world manifests Him who ordered it.”~Irenaeus (c.125-c.202), early church leader, in Against Heresies (II.9.1) “Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is allYe know on earth, and all ye need to know.” “A thing of beauty is a joy forever:Its loveliness increases; it will neverPass into nothingness; but still will keepA bower quiet for us, and a sleep…An endless fountain of immortal drink,Pouring unto us from the heaven's brink.”~John Keats (1795-1821) from “Ode to a Grecian Urn” and Endymion “Because the face of God is so lovely, my brothers and sisters, so beautiful, once you have seen it, nothing else can give you pleasure. It will give insatiable satisfaction of which we will never tire. We shall always be hungry and always have our fill.”~Augustine (354-430 A.D.), North African church leader and theologian “Glory is the beauty of God unveiled! Glory is the resplendent radiance of His power and His personality…. Glory is the external elegance of the internal excellencies of God. Glory is what you see and experience and feel when God goes public with His beauty!”~C. Samuel Storms (1951-present), theologian and authorSERMON PASSAGEPsalm 191 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.2 Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. Isaiah 6 1 In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one called to another and said:“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;the whole earth is full of his glory!” John 1 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…. 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 12 41 Isaiah said these things because he saw [Jesus's] glory and spoke of him. 42 Nevertheless, many even of the authorities believed in him, but for fear of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue; 43 for they loved the glory that comes from man more than the glory that comes from God. John 17 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed….24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.Leviticus 10 1 Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it and laid incense on it and offered unauthorized fire before the Lord, which he had not commanded them. 2 And fire came out from before the Lord and consumed them, and they died before the Lord. 3 Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the Lord has said: ‘Among those who are near me I will be sanctified, and before all the people I will be glorified.'” And Aaron held his peace. 1 Corinthians 3 16 Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? 17 If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple. Romans 118 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.

This episode explores Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy on how to live a life worthy of eternity. It delves into Nietzsche's concept of eternal recurrence, where one's life would have to be lived over and over again, and asks if such a life would be fulfilling and self-justifying.00:00 Introduction: Measuring a Good Life03:30 Eternal Recurrence: Thought Experiment or Truth?08:30 Nietzsche's Moment of Affirmation13:00 Instinct vs. Reason: Nietzsche's Perspective17:00 The Singular Vision: Striving for Greatness21:15 Understanding the Higher Self22:00 Defining Yourself by Your Best Moments22:40 The Importance of Mastering a Craft26:45 The Metaphor of Dance in Life34:35 Nietzsche's Life Advice-----Sponsors:⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠Austin AI Lab⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GainsInBulk.com/ben⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Use code Ben for 20% off instantized creatine and more⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Speechify.com/ben⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Use code Ben for 15% off Speechify premium⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Founders Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----Stay In Touch- Sign up for the newsletter at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠takeoverpod.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- Twitter/X - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@BenWilsonTweets⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- Instagram - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@HTTOTW

In this talk, he combines insights from psychedelic experiences with an intriguing view put forward by Spinoza: that the mind can enter a rare state of eternity, not as a spirit enduring beyond the corpse, but as a mind collapsing into the eternal.Don't hesitate to email us at podcast@iai.tv with your thoughts or questions on the episode!To witness such debates live buy tickets for our upcoming festival: https://howthelightgetsin.org/festivals/And visit our website for many more articles, videos, and podcasts like this one: https://iai.tv/You can find everything we referenced here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Synchronicity – Love and MiraclesWhat if the people you meet, and even the dreams that visit you, aren't coincidences at all? In this episode of Makes Sense with Dr. JC Doornick, The Dragon takes you inside a true story from his upcoming book Makes Sense, where fate, love, and the mysterious “Omen Frequency” converge in a moment that defies logic. After seven years alone, JC meets the woman who will change everything, and discovers that the daughter he's been dreaming of for years already exists in her life. Through this unbelievable encounter, he explores how life's hidden patterns reveal themselves when we finally tune into the frequency beneath the noise. This episode is a meditation on faith, timing, and the awareness that turns randomness into revelation. Because love and miracles aren't found, they're noticed. Welcome to the uprising of the sleepwalking masses, where confusion dies and progress thrives. Finding Superman: How Did Humanity Get So Soft? Somewhere along the way, humanity traded its hunger for comfort—and in doing so, tamed the tiger within. In this episode, Dr. JC Doornick (The Dragon) takes you on a journey from the streets of post-earthquake Haiti to the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, exploring how society, culture, and convenience have softened our edge, silenced our will to power, and lulled us into complacency. Through stories, philosophy, and reflection, you'll rediscover Nietzsche's concept of the Übermensch—the human who dares to rise above conformity, reclaim meaning, and say yes to life even in the storm. This is not about judgment. It's about remembering who we are, what we're capable of, and what it takes to awaken the untamed creator within. Because the world doesn't need more comfort, it requires more courage. The tiger's still there—waiting for you to let it out of its cage. Make Sense?

"God Is Dead!" - How Nietzsche's Shocking Legacy Impacts Our Culture In this eye-opening episode of Come Let Us Reason Together, Dr. Greg Ganssle unpacks Friedrich Nietzsche's life, from his tragic youth to his "death of God" declaration and the Übermensch vision. Through a Christian lens, explore how his ideas fuel today's relativism, mental health crises, and quest for self-made meaning—contrasting it with Jesus' abundant life. Discover why Nietzsche's warnings about nihilism echo in our chaotic world, and find why his ideas lead to hopelessness while Christ gives true hope.

This two-part video series provides a deep historical analysis of Moralistic Therapeutic Deism (MTD), tracing its ingredients from 19th-century New England intellectual and social revolutions to its status as America's de facto civic religion. We argue that MTD collapsed when the sexual and moral revolutions forced a devastating fracture between its Christian heritage and its core principles of self-actualization and benevolence, leading to the polarized political landscape of today.Moralist Therapeutic Deism Part 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eHYMzanOvs&t=4679s @triggerpod   @InterestingTimesNYT   @JonathanPageau   @PaulVanderKlay 00:00:00 - Introduction and Recap00:10:07 - MTD, Chicago, and Obama00:13:00 - Cornell as Microcosm00:25:15 - Tim Keller on programatic secularism00:35:55 - Mainline Christianity00:37:45 - Wokeness and MTD00:47:05 - MTD and Partisanship00:49:20 - Arena vs Agent00:51:00 - Donald Trump 00:56:15 - Nationalism vs Globalism01:03:40 - Who killed MTD?01:05:55 - Competing Arenas01:08:25 - The future of Christian NationalismIn this video I mention:Aaron Renn, Abraham Lincoln, Albert Baker, Alfred, Allen C.

“We can see nothing today that wants to grow greater, we suspect that things will continue to go down, down, to become…more comfortable, more mediocre, more indifferent.” Friedrich Nietzsche, On the Genealogy of Morality In the late 19th century, the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche observed that Western civilization was in a state of decline; it […] The post How to Make the West Great Again first appeared on Academy of Ideas.

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Paul Taylor, author, neuroscientist, exercise physiologist, and host of The Paul Taylor Podcast. He is an expert in hardiness, the science of turning stress into strength. Modern life is quietly weakening us through the way we eat, move, sleep, socialize, and use technology. By introducing stress, challenge, and discomfort in safe and deliberate ways through exercise, nutrition, temperature, sunlight, and other natural experiences, we can regain our strength and hardiness. This idea is rooted in hormesis, the concept that exposure to manageable stress or challenge can strengthen the body and mind. We also discuss Paul's lessons from his upbringing in Ireland, his time in the military, and his experiences as a parent, in sport, and through personal challenges. He shares practical ways to build hardiness in daily life: move regularly, play outside, eat mostly minimally processed foods, limit screen time, set simple rules and routines, gradually increase effort, and reflect on how you spend your time. Seeing life as a challenge and viewing stress as a chance to grow helps us step out of our comfort zone, so we can strengthen ourselves physically and mentally and be better prepared for whatever life throws our way.Connect and Learn More:Website: paultaylor.bizInstagram: @paultaylor.bizPodcast: The Paul Taylor PodcastBooks: Death by Comfort, and the upcoming The Hardiness EffectResources Mentioned:Books: Antifragile, Elite Minds, Enchiridion, The Black Swan, People: Arrian, Bengt Saltin, Bente Klarlund Pedersen, Epictetus, Frank Booth, Friedrich Nietzsche, Grant Schofield, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Seneca, Stan Beecham, Walter Mischel

Nació el 15 de octubre de 1844, en Röcken, Prusia. Su padre, un ministro luterano, murió cuando él tenía 5 años, y fue educado por su madre en una casa donde vivían su abuela, dos tías y una hermana. Estudió filología clásica en las universidades de Bonn y Leipzig, y fue nombrado profesor de filología griega en la universidad de Basilea con tan sólo 24 años.

Friedrich Nietzsche is known as one of the most infamous critics of Christianity, but are there lessons Christians can learn from that critique? The faith is beginning to see a small but real revival in the West, but most seekers are looking for a more robust and demanding version than is currently offered in our modern world. Athenian Stranger joins me to discuss how a better understanding of Nietzsche's work can actually help Christian combat nihilism.

Miroslav Volf critiques Nietzsche's vision of power, love, and suffering—and offers Jesus's unconditional love as a more excellent way.The idea that competitive and goalless striving to increase one's power is the final Good, does very important work in Nietzsche's philosophy. For Nietzsche, striving is good. Happiness does not rest in feeling that one's power is growing. In the modern world, individuals are, as Nietzsche puts it, ‘crossed everywhere with infinity.' …And therefore condemn to ceaseless striving … The will to power aims at surpassing the level reached at any given time. And that goal can never be reached. You're always equally behind.Striving for superiority so as to enhance power does not just elevate some, the stronger ones. If the difference in power between parties increases, the weak become weaker in socially significant sense, even if their power has objectively increased. Successful striving for superiority inferiorizes.”In this third installment of his Gifford Lectures, Miroslav Volf offers a trenchant critique of Friedrich Nietzsche's moral philosophy—especially his exaltation of the will to power, his affirmation of eternal suffering, and his agonistic conception of love. Nietzsche, Volf argues, fails to cultivate a love that can endure possession, withstand unworthiness, or affirm the sheer existence of the other. Instead, Nietzsche's love quickly dissolves into contempt. Drawing from Christian theology, and particularly Jesus's teaching that God causes the sun to rise on the evil and the good alike, Volf explores a different kind of love—agapic, unconditional, and presuppositionless. He offers a vision of divine love that is not driven by need or achievement but that affirms existence itself, regardless of success, strength, or status. In the face of suffering, Nietzsche's amor fati falters—but Jesus's embrace endures.Episode Highlights"The sun, in fact, has no need to bestow its gift of light and warmth. It gains nothing from imparting its gifts.""Love that is neither motivated by need nor based on worthiness—that is the kind of love Nietzsche thought prevented Jesus from loving humanity and earth.""Nietzsche aspires to transfiguration of all things through value-bestowing life, but he cannot overcome nausea over humans.""God's love for creatures is unconditional. It is agapic love for the states in which they find themselves.""Love can only flicker. It moves from place to place because it can live only between places. If it took an abode, it would die."Show NotesMiroslav Volf's engagement with Nietzsche's workFriedrich Nietzsche's critique of Christianity as life-denying and his vision of the will to powerSchopenhauer's hedonism vs. Nietzsche's anti-hedonism: “What is good? Everything that heightens the feeling of power.”The will to power as Nietzsche's supreme value and “hyper-good”“The will to power is not a philosophy of life—it's a philosophy of vitality.”Nietzsche's agonism: the noble contest for superiority among equally powerful opponents“Every GOAT is a GOAT only for a time.”Amor fati: Nietzsche's love of fate and affirmation of all existenceNietzsche's ideal of desire without satisfaction: “desiring to desire”Dangers of epithumic (need-based, consuming) love“Love cannot abide. Its shelf life is shorter than a two-year-old's toy... If it took an abode, it would die.”Nietzsche's nausea at the weakness and smallness of humanity: “Nausea, nausea... alas, man recurs eternally.”Zarathustra's conditional love: based on worthiness, wisdom, and power“Joy in tearing down has fully supplanted love's delight in what is.”Nietzsche's failure to love the unworthy: “His love fails to encompass the great majority of actually living human beings.”Volf's theological critique of striving, superiority, and contempt“Nietzsche affirms vitality at the expense of concrete human beings.”The biblical God's love: “He makes his sun rise on the evil and the good.”“Even the poorest fisherman rows with golden oars.”Jesus's unconditional love versus Nietzsche's agonistic, conditional loveKierkegaard and Luther on the distinction between person and workHannah Arendt's political anthropology and enduring love in the face of unworthinessVolf's proposal for a theology of loving the present world in its broken form“We can actually long also for what we have.”“Love that cannot take an abode will die.”A vision of divine, presuppositionless love that neither requires need nor merit

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.live“ ‘Barbarism' is a word that keeps coming to my lips lately,” writes Damir Marusic in a brilliant new article this week. Barbarism seems to be the only real word that describes what comes after the liberal international order. But Damir isn't pointing to the supposed barbarism of our enemies. His article points to the ways that we in the West — and in the United States — are becoming coarser and more egocentric. Like the poet said, barbarism begins at home. Shadi Hamid interrogates Damir about his piece in Socratic fashion. Is Damir maybe making a moral equivalence between the Trumpist Right and the hapless Left? While it's true that the Left isn't very effective, it can hardly be said to be barbaric. In the course of his answer, Damir discusses Alligator Alcatraz as the symbol of new American barbarism: kind of silly, but also, openly cruel. For Damir, barbarism isn't just Nazism; it is the strong turn toward selfishness and narcissism that has taken place since the middle of the twentieth century. And he has a theory of why the turn took place: secularization and the death of God. On this point, Shadi agrees, but he still has questions. Is it political structures or innate nature that make us turn toward evil? If it is the former, how can politics help in this moment to keep us from becoming truly barbaric? It is a timely and intense conversation.In our bonus section for paid subscribers, Damir and Shadi discuss why “war is a force that gives us meaning”; Shadi compares violence to orgasms; Damir's Calvinist sympathies make an appearance; Damir opposes “vulgar Nietzscheanism” with a “moral law” forged out of our “broken humanity”; Shadi wonders if Damir has finally become a moralist; can morality survive Pax Americana?; Gaza and barbarism; Christopher Hitchens and faith; the origin of the phrase, “Beyond the pale”; and more!Required Reading:* Damir, “Back to Barbarism” (WoC).* Thérèse Delpech, Savage Century: Back to Barbarism (Amazon). * Curzio Malaparte, Kaputt (Amazon). * Friedrich Nietzsche, “The Parable of the Madman” (Fordham University).

The great divide in politics is all around us. Sometimes the best way to engage in a difference of opinion is to 'pass it by.' Political theorist Shalini Satkunanandan suggests we take that lesson from Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy. Yeah, that guy — the one most known for his wrestling with nihilism. Satkunanandan argues that the constant need to engage and correct, refute or criticize "is making partisan divides even more pronounced." She views Nietzsche's method as a valuable way to navigate the highly polarized discourse of today. *This episode originally aired on Jan. 20, 2025.

ORIGINALLY RELEASED Apr 3, 2023 Professor Matt McManus returns to Rev Left to discuss his latest book, Nietzsche and the Politics of Reaction: Essays on Liberalism, Socialism, and Aristocratic Radicalism—a provocative collection he edited featuring diverse perspectives on one of the most misunderstood thinkers in modern philosophy. We unpack Friedrich Nietzsche's actual political views, challenge the liberal and fascist misreadings, and explore what the socialist left can critically learn from him. From his attacks on Christianity and herd morality to his complex relationship with nihilism, the death of God, and radical subjectivity—we dive deep into Nietzsche's legacy and wrestle with how the left can engage him without falling into reactionary traps. A rigorous and fascinating conversation for those who want to sharpen their understanding of western philosophy and break free from lazy and shallow interpretations.   Check out more of McManus' work HERE ---------------------------------------------------- Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio HERE Outro Beat Prod. by flip da hood
