I think Judaism is dumb, I think Christianity is dumb and I think Islam is dumb, but I think Zoroastrianism is quite interesting.
Whatever floats your boat
is it helping you?

Nietzsche is not the healthiest philosopher to follow.
He is responsible for a very dark psychosis I went through.
Be careful reading his stuff - Especially twilight of the idols

Can you explain what this is please?
I have read about it here before but I forget.
I have studied some different religions.
Last one I studied was Scientology .
But I did not find out so much information.
he had some strange ideas about women
I think he was completely jaded
not sure his whole life story though
many people adore this guy
but as a feminist, I’m a skeptic.
I fell into a trap with his work and it was very hard to come out of it.
I think stuff like this can have a massive impact on your thinking.
If your sz then that’s never a good thing, especially if you’re having delusions etc

@ocky8 You’re so smart
He had a massive positive impact on my thinking. I read this book while psychotic and afterwards. Don’t be so quick to generalize. Above all else, he’s a revolutionary philosopher. That’s a good thing.
Generalising cannot be achieved by comparing two anecdotal cases
I’m talking about how you said massive impacts on one’s thinking are never a good thing when you’re psychotic. That’s a generalization, and it’s really not true.
After how ill I got reading his work, I’d disagree
Then it was true for you specifically in that case.
@ocky8 if you haven’t read the book yet, read it if you want to.
I said that first.
So you’d argue that reading a philosophy or a religious text whilst you’re psychotic is a good idea?
This is strictly a philosopical text, and yes, reading that book was one of the best choices I made. I’m very glad I read it while psychotic.
Given the author I don’t think you can separate it from the realms of religious thinking
He’s an agnostic/atheist philosopher who wanted to fundamentally change people’s value systems. It kind of comes with the territory. I didn’t find that part triggering in any way, because I’m also an agnostic.
His agnostic nature would have only been driven from his nihilistic indifference

Now it sounds like you haven’t even read his books.
Nietzsche hated nihilism. That’s basically the premise of this book.
Depends on your ontological position and whether you read the people who inspired him
