  5. @Matt! BTW, Robin is definitely wife material. Such a fine woman.
  6. I like Jin's Japanese voice, this guy is a voice actor in many animes and he mostly plays swordsmen/samurai. I usually use English voices in games, so I can use gaming as an excuse to improve my English... I know some Japanese but I can't understand more than a few words, so I'd have to read subtitles. English voices in this game are good, for example Ishikawa's voice is from the guy that plays Jules-Pierre Mao in the Expanse. I immediatly recognized his voice, it's pretty neat and it has big strength (even if the guy is not really physically impressive in reality).
  7. Yeah, pretty much. It's a bit grandiloquent (and his words often are), but you're free to interpret it your way. I certainly wouldn't use grand words and grand ambitions like he did, but I like the general idea. That's not whay I got from his words. I don't see it as a painful path and I don't remember him arguing that it needs to be full of suffering and hardship. He says that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but he doesn't mean that you should seek suffering. Deviating from the herd means questioning the values of values. It doesn't mean that all these values are wrong and I don't see it as a way to cut ties with everybody. It's not a condescending way of seeing the world. At least, I don't see it that way. It's more a promise for yourself to get better, it's not a way to despise others. Life is shit for everybody. It's never perfect, we just have to try to improve ourselves and make it as best as we can based on what we've been given. --- PS: you don't have to agree with everything he says to benefit from his books. Just cherry-pick and take what you want out of it. As I said, that's what I did. For me, it's not a system, it's not "all or nothing", you can take things and leave others.

  11. SF looks like a city from a third-world country. One of my friends used to live there. He's intellectual, lefty and French. You'd think that he would be in his natural element. Unfortunately for him, he's rational and moderate (that's a capital crime there ). We haven't discussed in a while. I visited him some years ago and I remember that the city was quite dirty.
  12. Oh, I see. Yes, it's quite demanding. I don't know if it's unnecessarily hard. I came across his books at a time when I needed to spend time on such things. I immediately liked him, mostly because of how he considers music (Music is very important to me). Then, I read more of his work and there were some things I liked and agreed with, and, some other things that I didn't like. He uses the "hammer" on many things and sometimes he makes what we would call "gratuitous attacks" on people or ideas that are really uncalled for and unjustified. He can be a bit brutal at times, but all in all, he's very interesting (even when you disagree with him).
  13. I add Barbara Rodiles to my list.
  14. People are fleeing San Francisco, because of how dirty, unsafe and crazy it has become
  15. I don't know this movie, but it sounds like it. I hate to see useless violence. I don't like to see people hating each other just for "opinions". The worst of the worst is when people fight each other because of the color of their skin. It's terrible. Supposedly, everybody knows that, but some famous/influential people say they fight against it, while in fact they actually promote it. I don't understand why the moderates don't manage to overthrow the extremists. It's painful to watch. Polticians should listen to people like him:
  16. I want to answer, but I think it's best if I wait until you've read the books (at least Twilight, Z and Birth of Tragedy). His concepts are developped extensively in the books and I've often found out that some "pundits" largely misinterpreted his words. It's better if you make your judgement based on his words. It depends what you mean by "elitst". Sometimes this type of words have various interpretations. If it mean birth privilege, castes or any form of prejudice, then no. If it means that certain people are better than other in certain fields, then yes he is. And I agree with that. It's quite obvious in sports, but in all sorts of fields. It doesn't mean that the more talented people should oppress the other. Quite the opposite. But it's a natural process that the more talented lead the way. It happens all the time in nature. Also, I think Nietzsche would be OK with the concept of "mobility" in the hierarchal structures (though I can't quite back that up with his words from what I remember). As for the last man, it's better if you read Z before judging it.
  17. The best book on Nietzsche and the nazis is "Le songe d'Eichmann", by Michel Onfray. I'm sure there is a translation in English (Onfray has been translated in many languages). http://www.editions-galilee.fr/f/index.php?sp=liv&livre_id=3018
