  8. ^ Wow, I read Boseman's story. He fought a battle against a colon cancer during 4 years, without never saying anything or complaining about it. I have the utmost respect for him. It's always sad to see people with great inner-strength pass away. RIP. https://globalnews.ca/video/7305354/black-panther-star-chadwick-boseman-passes-away-from-cancer-at-age-43

  10. Politicization of every topic + bipolarization of politics + considering that folks on the other side are all psychos + politicians drunk with power + politicians with no beliefs/values/empathy + biased media = the recipe for civil war.
  11. Alina Kirchiu Kailey Hsu Ranking: Gulsina Kalimullin (best), Mariama Diallo, Candice Swanepoel
  12. @Cult Icon I started to play Ghost of Tsushima this weekend. So far, I love it. They really managed to capture the Japanese spirit IMHO. I don't know if I'll have much time to play it, but I'll try.

  14. IMHO, if the current rules make people vote not on the basis of their preference, but because they want "change", then it's a big indicator that changing the rules would be an improvement.

Sure, it's great to loot modest people that spent their entire life building something, it makes you real heroes... WTF is wrong with these people? We all know how these ideologies end (just open an history book)
  16. Emily Blunt Emily Blunt or Emily DiDonato?

  18. Alina could be a great Anna too
  19. I really like blue-eyed brunette (and Russian models too ) Anna looks a lot like Katya IMO: Anna is really a nice/sweet character, with inner strength and resolve, and her relation with Artyom is good. Their complicity is really interesting for the game, and, it's in contrast with many recent movies/games where you have toxic characters that behave like egocentric morons (Captain Marvel for example...)
  20. Why are you heartbroken?
  21. He was definitely strongly influenced by the Ancient Greeks, but he doesn't like everything in them. He really hates Socrates and Plato, there are many pages where he trashes them, where he says they embodied resentment. He criticizes their declining views, but what he hates the most is their use of ideals that are alienating us from our nature and life. He's really critical of their ascetism, because he thinks it's a life-denying value, he doesn't like morality and ideals in the sense that they twist and deny our instincts, for no good reason. He thinks that it levels us down and muffles improvement. As for Aristotle, there are many parallels between their philosophies, mostly their vision of nobility, and, as you say, the master-slave morality (which is very close to Aristoteleian concepts), but Nietzsche is also critical of Aristotle (not as much as with Plato though). He thinks Aristotle didn't really understand the concept of tragedy, because for Nietzsche, the tragedy is, above all, the research for life-affirming values. The concept of Good that Artistotle use is also something that doesn't fit well with Nietzsche's views IMO. All in all, Nietzsche is a moral relativist. He doesn't prescribe much, he mostly wants to free those who can be freed from the shackles of moralities. He wants us to question the values of values and to choose what we want, with our critical thinking. Nietzsche's philosophical tool is the hammer. A hammer that breaks and what he builds on top of the debris is just an intuitive search for life-affirming actions and a trust of your nature, fate and body. His main takeaways from the Greeks are the tragedy and the opposition between Dionysos and Appolo (you're gonna read about that in Birth of Tragedy). Aristotle's ethics are virtue ethics. Nietzsche's ethics are mostly about questionning the values of values. He's a moral relativist. I know some people say his ethics are an instance of virtue ethics, but I disagree. As much as he praises (directly or not) Aristotle, he's also very critical of him. If you look at the concept of Amor Fati (a key concept in Nietzsche's philosophy), you'll see that he's much closer to buddhism than you think (he said that he could be the Buddha of Europe - though he criticizes Buddhims right after... but that's how he is, skeptical). Also, Nietzsche doesn't prescribe much, because he thinks that a philosophy is mostly a confession of its author. Nietzsche hated anti-semitism. He described himself as an anti-anti-semite. He despised the antisemtes, he saw them as mediocre people full of resentment. His sister and brother in law were antisemites (that's why he had arguments with them). Also, he liked Wagner when he was young (music is at the center of his philosophy - that's partly why I like him), but he ended up hating him later because Wagner became an antisemite. So, he's really far away from nazi values. As for the Übermensch (the superman), the Nazis (and his sister) really didn't understand what it's about.
