AI:  The Resurrection of the Idols?

From Google AI:
Friedrich Nietzsche’s Twilight of the Idols (1888) uses the "hammer" to shatter old, hollow truths, moralities, and ideals that restrict human potential. He targets Socratic reason, Christian morality, and German culture as false idols, aiming to destroy the "idol-worshipper" rather than just the idols themselves.

Key Quotes on Idols & Truths:
 
  • On the Task"There are more idols than realities in the world: that is my 'evil eye' for this world, it is also my 'evil ear'".
  • On Philosophy: "If you wish to strive for peace of soul and pleasure, then believe; if you wish to be a devotee of truth, then inquire".
  • On Weakness: "What? You search? You would multiply yourself by ten, by a hundred? You seek followers? Seek zeros!".
  • On Truths: "The old truth is on its last legs".
  • On Instinct: "Everything good is instinct—and therefore easy, necessary, free. Effort is an objection".
Key Themes in Twilight of the Idols:
  • Shattering Idol-Worshippers: Nietzsche clarifies that his goal is not just destroying myths, but changing the weak-willed, submissive mindset that creates them.
  • Critique of Morality: He attacks traditional morality (Christianity, Stoicism) as a "degeneration" that attempts to suppress passions and deny life.
  • Anti-Socrates: He views Socrates as a symptom of decay in Greek culture, a "calamity" who introduced rationalism to stifle noble, instinctive life.
  • Pro-Instinct: He promotes an affirmation of life and instincts over the "decadence" of modern civilization.
Nietzsche's work is a call to become free spirits who destroy established, restricting ideals and live according to their own nature.

The self is an illusion created by the ego.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

...just like the ego is an illusion created by the right hemisphere's SuperEgo, aka "the gods", aka "the Big Other".

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

It's the "I" that pushes back against its' commands.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

...an "alternative" narrative.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

The "subject" of "Subjectivity".

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

...created during the Lacanian "Mirror Stage".

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

The "Bicameral Mind" that creates a kind of "depth" perception. Stereo hearing, vision, and thought.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

...and escape from simple "dualisms".

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

"Reason" instead of either "Fight" or "Flight".

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Ratio-nalization.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Like the Xtians, Buddhists hated Satan, the Devil, the "Light-bearer"... the "evil" Ego.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

...the "Individual" who resisted the "will" of the "collective", the brotherhood, who overcame the whimsical commands of the "primordial Father" and posited new totems and taboos and instilled "guilt-pride" (the Oedipal condition/complex)...killed the father, married the mother... and established the new "law". Incest, the desire of the Ego, became taboo. All thoughts of it smothered in the cradle through guilt-pride.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Jung's "dark shadow" desires explored in his "Red Book"...

Les Carpenter said...

The long road to justify your guilt pride bullshit and nothing more.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

You really need to do some Shadow work to uncover and integrate (rather than bury) your Ego....

Les Carpenter said...

A daily practice for me. Likely not for thee.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Repression isn't the same as Integration. You want to be a "face" that defeats a "heel". I just want to watch the "show". I'm not on a heroes journey. As Socrates once said, there are three types of people at the Olympic games. This who come to compete, those who buy and sell, and those who come to watch. The "best" are the latter.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Trump's the heel that you, the face, must defeat!

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

You're living the kayfabe life!

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

I was to. Up until Iran. No more.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Acta non Verba!

Les Carpenter said...

Whatever you wish to believe.

I watch. I comment with truth on my side. I watch again.

Only the masses, through reasoned enlightened thinking and actions can effect positive change. The individual is powerless to do so.

This country is in a tailspin from which it may NEVER recover. For that I blame the ignorance, the division, and the hate that trump and his MAGA sheeple have normalized.

So you do your feigned Acta non Verba and continue to tell yourself you're walking the middle path.

Me, I'll keep pursuing Engaged Buddhism as the best path for wisdom, compassion, and positive change. Fighting for truth, true understanding, and compassionate wisdom is the only way to acheive true and lasting peace and stability. Something that will NEVER occur with the MAGA mindset.

That is being proven in real time. Right now. Every damn day.

\\Only the masses, through reasoned enlightened thinking and actions can effect positive change.

And... you proved being ignorant fooool yet again)))

And where and when in whole Humankind history... it worked that way)))

Bread. And Entertainments. THAT only things that was working.

He'll never break free from the political kayfabe, Q... he's 100% invested in Team Faces! He doesn't believe that the Boston Caucus (now UniParty) is still meeting to manipulate the proposed bills or their voted outcomes.

Les Carpenter said...

You are right about one thing, I will never support your bullshit

As any true commie... yawn

You're the typical fart in the wind. All stink, no substance.

Pft!)))

Talking 'bout yourself?))))

Yeah, you are smelly fart, commie. :-p

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

...like most girl's who believe that their own farts don't stink.
