RE: Nietzsche and the Nazis: A Really Interesting Book by Stephen Hicks

in Hive Book Club2 years ago (edited)

Nietzsche was a dope fiend! To treat his chronic migraines he used so many drugs that another philosopher said that Nietzsche's room looked like "a pharmacist's shop." This is THE KEY to his philosophy that saw beyond the dull dependable predictable robotic industrial human and into the singularity of cosmic consciousness. It was inevitable that the Nazis, with their emphasis on the thousand year Reich, would adopt the vegetable-derived wisdom of Nietzsche's pain-bliss insights.

Well, one thing is sure: his brain was addled. If you look at the medical source I list, the migraines are mentioned there. How can we diagnose someone 150 years after the event? Did he have syphilis? Was his illness congenital (his father died young of a mysterious brain illnes)? Could he have had had Huntington's? Was he drug addicted?

Nietzsche was out of his mind, that is certain.

As always, you entertain with your original take on the blog. Thanks for stopping by and reading.

Or maybe he was the one-eyed man in the kingdom of the blind. 🤔
