Nietzsche is brilliant and the best thing he did was to inspire other people to their own thoughts. That is what was needed then and needed now, and at all times. The article didn't share much insight but glad to see him talked about, if only because it gives us permission to talk about deep things. Everybody should embrace their role as philosopher, take it seriously, and develop themselves- and through that, prompt others to do so as well.


Amen! Philosophy is a personal and life long process of improvement. Everyone, knowingly or not, is a philosopher. Just the act of living is philosophy. If possible, live consciously and do not go through the motions. It will deepen and enrich your life, and hopefully, bring meaning into it.


The Redditor demographic, and this one as well, is the epitome of "Last Man".
