Based beyond imaginable

The funny thing is that he thought he was being sneaky too. In letters to his friends he said he was going to kill them, and then in a letter to the king:


>To my beloved son Umberto

>My peace be with you! Tuesday I shall be in Rome. I should like to see you, along with his Holiness the Pope.

>The Crucified

>>17806962
was it autism?

>>17806984
It was most likely a brain tumor.

>To Princess Ariadne, My Beloved.

>It is a mere prejudice that I am a human being. Yet I have often enough dwelled among human beings and I know the things human beings experience, from the lowest to the highest. Among the Hindus I was the Buddha, in Greece Dionysus — Alexander and Caesar were incarnations of me, as well as the poet of Shakespeare, Lord Bacon. Most recently I was Voltaire and Napoleon, perhaps also Richard Wagner ... However, I now come as Dionysus victorious, who will prepare a great festival on Earth ... Not as though I had much time ... The Heavens rejoice to see me here ... I also hung on the cross ...

He wasn't delusional he was possessed by demonic forces after he (probably) foolishly made an attempt to welcome them, I would not be surprised to see grimmoires in his library

>aphorism 408 The Journey to Hades. I too have been in the underworld, even as Odysseus, and I shall often be there again. Not sheep alone have I sacrificed, that I might be able to converse with a few dead souls, but not even my own blood have I spared. There were four pairs who responded to me in my sacrifice: Epicurus and Montaigne, Goethe and Spinoza, Plato and Rousseau, Pascal and Schopenhauer. With them I have to come to terms. When I have long wandered alone, I will let them prove me right or wrong; to them will I listen, if they prove each other right or wrong. In all that I say, conclude, or think out for myself and others, I fasten my eyes on those eight and see their eyes fastened on mine. May the living forgive me if I look upon them at times as shadows, so pale and fretful, so restless and, alas, so eager for life. Those eight, on the other hand, seem to me so living that I feel as if even now, after their death, they could never become weary of life. But eternal vigour of life is the important point: what matters "eternal life” or indeed life at all?

>>17807012
literally me

Based. He had more balls than any of you faggots complaining about him.

>>17807094
>He wasn't delusional he was possessed by demonic forces
He was neither, he had brain cancer or some other condition probably inherited from his father who died under similar circumstances

>>17806879
>Nietzsche was a 20th century school shooters
wow shocking

>>17806941
The King was also born the same year as Nietzsche, and they look quite alike (the same mustache)—I believe some books printed a picture of the king misidentifying him as Nietzsche . . .

It's a terrifying thought to know that your mind can degrade like this. I wonder, are you aware of the process when it start or do you just slowly succumb to it without even knowing?

>>17808115
>do you just slowly succumb to it without even knowing?
it's this, some are self aware though

>>17806879
>Cesare Borgia as pope: HAVE I BEEN UNDERSTOOD?

>>17808115
My friend is only 25 and I already see it happening due to heavy drug and alcohol use. It doesn't seem like he's aware.

>>17808073
Holy fuck that's some massive prophetic shit right there

>>17806962
Source on where he said he wanted to kill them? I only know he wanted to kill the Hohenzollerns/Kaiser Wilhelm and Bismarck

>>17808159
>>17808142
Yeah, it is just sad to interact with people where you are unable to follow their thinking process or comprehend what is going on in their mind anymore. It is like interacting with some weird automaton. Nothing you say will reach them.
And then you wonder if this could also happen to you.

>implying losing yourself isn't better than consciously approaching death while being fully aware

>>17808204
It's very depressing. It's a sickening sort of feeling to be wrapped up in someone else's delusions. It makes you want to run away and hug somebody whose mind works properly.

>>17808235
I mean this is essentially what happens when you turn old.

>>17808235
Nietzsche was literally scared about forgetting himself for the first weak and kept looking in mirrors so he could see his own face.
