He was a pastor’s son.
He discovered how we lie while we think.
Nietzsche.
This is how Nietzsche’s thoughts
became dynamite.
Up until then,
humans considered thoughts something good.
Actually, humans believed themselves
to be closest to God when thinking.
After all, God is the greatest thinker of all.
Then came Nietzsche.
Nietzsche’s discovery:
In Latin, thinking and lying
have the same morphological roots.
The expression is “mentiri”.
Mentiri – he thinks – equals he lies, writes Nietzsche.
Beautiful and good ideas
do not necessarily have beautiful and good reasons.
Let alone beautiful and good goals.
Nobody talks about the gallows in the hangman’s house.
Nietzsche broke a taboo
and became one himself.
Philosophers who admit to believing in Nietzsche
do not make academical careers.
Instead, they write for the IF blog.
