Watching a philosophy professor attempt to interpret Nietzsche's cryptic writings on twitter while she glosses over passages in which he essentially criticizes people who are like her.
Watched a softball contest between seniors (most are varsity baseball players) versus the school staff (Principal, Vice Principal, Algebra/Trig/Calc and Chemistry teachers, an athletic counselor, and a PTA member) during the graduation event. Guess who won.
Spoiler:
Street musician played a lovely classical piece that sounded so familiar, but the title was unknown. I tried to recall the circumstances in which I heard it and slowly realized that context was weeby. How so? My mind went through several recently watched shows, but none matched the feeling. After couple minutes of memory exertion I found the source. It was Mahoyo! Full translation never btw.

Mahoyo 2 never, that's the real crime. The Russian TL is supposed to be finished this year apparently, so hopefully that turns out. They've done some cute UI stuff with it, too: https://vk.com/mahoyorussian
You either searched for my twitter account or knew precisely who I was speaking of; holy shit. Yeah, I don't think Eve quite understands Nietzsche's philosophy to the degree that she thinks she does (but then again, who really does?). I love debating her. She's certainly intelligent, but sometimes I doubt that she can hold her head while reading his passages. She essentially used the "good war hallows the cause" quote to say that any war is hallowed, and that a war for Christianity would be hallowed because the war was in the name of Christ (she essentially espoused the instigation of a meaningless war for the sake of revitalizing Judeo-Christian ethics) , but I politely explained to her that I thought it meant that the "goodness" in the war was determined by the values of harbingers, and that only those with strong values could win a war, and that as such, the cause was hallowed by the war.
She also brought up "On the Tarantulas" from Thus Spake Zarathustra in an attempt to criticize social justice and she seems to skim right over what I would describe as Nietzsche's greatest criticism of people who generally have a strong sense of "justice": "Thus do I counsel you my friends; distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful!" I thought that was pretty ironic because that very statement seems to stab at the heart of Eve's obsession with Christian ethics and their relationship to her criticisms of atheism, as well as what I believe to be an obsession with mending the separation between church and state. Generally, she seems rational, but I've seen her make manic tweets with absolutely absurd suggestions. "We should literally wage a war for Christianity" is just one of them, and possibly the stupidest thing I've ever seen her say, and it seems to me to be indicative of pathological thinking.
eve is, you know, just one of those people
half her tweets are wictoresque rants about how atheists are a priori unable to sustain moral sentiments, the other half are complaining about video games
Being pro anime is a self own if there ever was one

Who the hell is she btw

Ohh yeah, 'little girls like unicorns because they're phallic symbols' I SEE YOU I SEE YOU
http://www.bigtonyspizzari.com/menu-ordering/ How far can we take this? Perhaps, a German place with a menu named after SS officers or perhaps an Asian place with food named after Asian dictators? I mean, if you don't know who he is, Pol Pot actually sounds like a dish.
Gangsters have a surface level libertine appeal similar to that of pirates. Their presence in popular culture can be said to exist independently from their factual historical presence.
We need ages more time distance and cultural progress before the same disconnect can, for the majority, apply to 20th century dictators and war criminals. But gangsters are 20th century too, you say. Well
I think that she's correct to some degree on that avenue, and I'm not a Christian by any means, but it's not so obvious to me as to how values could retain themselves over time without a sufficient (religious) structure, as Nietzsche implies in his statements about the death of God. I would argue that a majority of the sentiments expressed by leftists and other moral fanatics are an unconscious attempt to maintain base Christian values through persecutory delusions and hysteria, as well as a rampant desire to over-express one's own individuality (Christianity), and at the same time subscribe to group think/tribalism (Judaism). Another issue with her is that she seems to think that atheists have this inherent inability to conceptualize either a deity or the infinite, like someone with autism would be unable to comprehend figurative language and that's not quite how I would characterize people who are skeptical about religious presumptions. That's the other stupidest-thing-I've-ever-heard-her-say.
Uh
Also, does this person like, not realize doubts about morality and the existence of god are a central part of a full human religious experience. What gives us a right to judge atheists for experiencing those same doubts but arriving to different conclusions?
Another also, the idea that some form of spiritual expression is inherent in most humans doesn't make religions the end all be all for meeting those needs. People have and still are spiritual in a variety of ways.
