Thanks to the new Zelda game, I am getting back into loving video games and making time for them. I’m playing Ocarina of Time atm :)
Also, I’ve been reading The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky. So far, really nice, but not anywhere close to the end yet. Same goes for Moby Dick by Herman Melville (the racism gets unbearable though). And then, I’ve been starting my journey with Nietzsche, I chose Ecce Homo to begin with.
Lastly, some music! The new Lana del Rey and Danny Brown x Jpegmafia albums have been on repeat. Been getting into the group “Lamp” as well. Bad Bunny released a song a few days ago and I’ve been absolutely addicted to it too.
Hope my beautiful comrades have been well, love you all! Remember to take care of yourselves and your circle.
I’m surprised you’re starting Nietzsche with Ecce Homo. I don’t think I’ve read that work, but I think that’s the one where he jerks himself off a lot. I think Thus Spake Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, or Geneology of Morals are better places to start. Also, which translation are you using?
I picked Ecce Homo because I think if I have some background from the man himself, his other works will open up a bit more. Yes, he does jerk himself off a lot LMFAO. I’m debating whether I wanna go through his things chronologically and see how he grows, or if I just wanna go through the most popular ones.
For Ecce Homo, I’m using the Anthony M. Ludovici translation.
Any tips would ofc always be nice <3
Edit: I’ve been laughing nonstop while reading it. I don’t find the insane confidence he has annoying, just really funny. Also, this man HATES Germans, and (who could have foreseen this) HATES women. Surely he’ll have good opinions on minorities! /s
I don’t have any tips unfortunately. Nietzsche is anti-communist, but he has a mesmerizing writing style. “Philosophizing with a hammer” as he put it.
