Anytime anyone has to utter the vulgar word Nietzsche a fecal stain is left on the day.
Alas I myself must utter it because despite the fact that he has nothing new to contribute to society other than a regurgitation of sophist nihilism that would leave even Gorgias disgusted, he is undeniably popular.
What frustrates me most about the despicable Nietzsche is not him, though he does as well, it is the foolish plebeian masses who try to quote him and cite him as an authoritative source.
What I have found having dealt with these bottom dwellers for over 2 years now is the following.
- Most People who quote Nietzsche’s “God is Dead,” Don’t Know The Full Quote.
- Of the small group who do know the full quote, even fewer have read the book.
- Of that group that has read the book, even fewer read his subsequent book where he dives deep into the philosophical rigor of his arguments
- And of that group whom have read both those books, even fewer still actually understand them
There is actually a pseudo intellectual group who think Nietzsche provided arguments for athiesm. They are as foolish as any atheist is.
You see what Nietzsche did was take skepticism seriously. He applied skepticism to everything; emotion, reality, religion, society and… logic.
Oh you didn’t know about the last one, eh? Most haven’t. There is a very concerted effort to not discuss this point as Carl Jung found out when he was slandered for the later half of his career by psuedo skeptics.
Nietzsche in his emotionally driven hatred for God led him to strive to find a way to falsify His existence and after applying the scathing vorpal scalpel of true skepticism, he sliced away at our ability to know anything much like Rene Descarte did so long ago.
However as he arrived at his final dissection that needed to be slayed so that he could claim to have vanquished God, he arrived at the conscious mind.
He delivered his final blow and said that if we take the theory of evolution seriously, we must accept that that which we call “I” is no different than any other bundle of emotions and the product of evolutionary processes.
And with that, Nietzsche had found his prize he felt he had intellectually slayed God.
Except… The reality of his conclusion began to bubble up into his putrid vessel of a mind.
If the conscious, which stands as a constant testament to the divine, is nothing but a product of emotions and evolution, then the very method which we have used, namely logic, is also falsified as well.
Nietzsche in a fit of rage had discovered the most infuriating fact that has haunted the psuedo skeptics and moronic atheists for centuries.
It’s heads God wins and tails atheism loses!
We are either in a world where Truth exists, and if Truth exists then it is the product of the divine, or we cannot know truth and everything is taken on faith!
As any of the few who have actually read and understood his books knows, Nietzsche declares at the end of both books not the death of God but the death of the false Christianity that we see festering in churches today, and to crescendo his argument, he declares himself a worshiper of a new god.
This, of course, is where Nietzsche has earned his place as a pitiful, pathetic worm, because when he was presented with the choice, as every man of faith is, to choose to worship Truth or worship himself, he chose himself.
He worshiped a puny god.
To Nietzsche’s small list of credits he has earned, one would be that he was at least honest about his decision which is more than can be said for the pathetic atheist cult of today.
He saw that there were two options; worship Truth on faith or worship something else on faith.
Now to deliver the deserved backhand to that compliment, I will also remind you that Plato and Aristotle had been having this discussion since 429 BC.
It is this philosophical understanding and framework from which my own philosophy comes. I call it the wizard philosophy because it is most commonly found in the traditions that took their beliefs seriously but also understand that, as the Bible says so well , “We see through a glass, darkly” (Corinthians 13:12) and that while we must except Truth on faith, there is also immense mystery and other useful ways of viewing the world that exist as well.
In a future post, I will explain how my research into the concept of the paracosm comes into combination with my philosophy of the world in the form of a fractal paracosmic model for interpreting reality.
