"Lebensalter und Wahrheit. — Junge Leute lieben das Interessante und Absonderliche, gleichgültig wie wahr oder falsch es ist. Reifere Geister lieben Das an der Wahrheit, was an ihr interessant und absonderlich ist. Ausgereifte Köpfe endlich lieben die Wahrheit auch in Dem, wo sie schlicht und einfältig erscheint und dem gewöhnlichen Menschen Langeweile macht, weil sie gemerkt haben, dass die Wahrheit das Höchste an Geist, was sie besitzt, mit der Miene der Einfalt zu sagen pflegt."

Solche moralischen "Plausibilisierungen" sind ein Ausdruck der Dummheit, Überheblichkeit, Nichtskönnen und Ignoranz und ihnen muss der Kampf überall an der Akademie angesagt werden. Etwas nur "irgendwie-möglich zu plausibilisieren" ist weder ein Gegenbeweis, noch eine Wahrheit.

No one teaches the real Nietzsche in university. His philosophy is too scary and threatening to the liberal democratic order.

la géneration Z prétend rejeter le système mais c’est celle qui a fabriqué ces monstres de toutes pièces de Nasdas aux influvoleurs de Dubaï
elle a permis la monétisation de la vacuité à une échelle industrielle en érigeant le voyeurisme au rang de culture légitime puisque chaque clic, chaque partage et chaque minute de cerveau disponible sacrifiée a servi de carburant à toute cette industrie du vide
en sacrant la vulgarité et la réussite sans effort comme idéaux absolus, toute une génération s'est choisie les miroirs qu'elle méritait

Hat ein Mensch die Freude geopfert, heiß ich es kein Leben mehr, er ist lebendig tot. Füll meinetwegen dein Haus mit Schätzen, leb im Herrscherprunk - Ich gebe nicht den Schatten eines Rauchs für alles, wenn des Herzens Freude fehlt.

Die #Paketsteuer scheint einen Nerv getroffen zu haben – Teile der Regierung sprechen bereits über eine Rücknahme. Das lässt sich mit ökonomischer Forschung gut erklären: Salienz! Amazon & Co haben mit einer einzigen E-Mail die Steuer für Millionen Kunden sichtbar gemacht. Wie stark Menschen auf Steuern reagieren, hängt auch davon ab, wie salient/sichtbar sie sind. Wären andere Steuern – und vor allem, wer sie tatsächlich trägt (#Steuerinzidenz) – ebenso salient, gäbe es vermutlich deutlich mehr Widerstand. krone.at/4330686

The philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein was, famously, not a fan of William Shakespeare.
He wrote in 1946 that “Shakespeare's similes are, in the ordinary sense, bad.”
But Wittgenstein’s opinion was not only one fuelled by aesthetic dislike. Professor of Philosophy William Day argues that Wittgenstein sees in Shakespeare a fellow explorer of skepticism, but one willing to travel down dark alleys that Wittgenstein himself sought to avoid.
"What Wittgenstein covers his ears to may be just this silence, this nothing, that the Shakespearean tragic hero craves," writes Day.

When Spain and Brazil socialist leaders are facing election issues and a possible end of their career simultaneously, I call it a beautiful, beautiful day!
Socialism sucks, kids. Everyone, who lives in socialism, will vote against it, if they‘re still allowed to vote, of course.

“I think there are two types of totalitarianism in our world. They are both essentially connected to Christianity. The first type, which, in a way, is the most honest, is neopaganism. Following Nietzsche, it says: ‘We don't want any of this [Christian concern for victims] business—it is sickness; a society has to be able to sacrifice [scapegoats]. The late Nietzsche says that very explicitly; it's been expurgated—no one talks about it because it's too close to Nazism. And everybody says Nietzsche has nothing to do with Nazism, but I think Nietzsche is the real philosopher of Nazism in the highest sense. This totalitarianism says that we're going to kill so many victims that were going to show you that the significance of our culture is not the ending of victimage, and we're going to reinstate paganism. ...
The other form of totalitarianism, which is on the ascendancy because the first one is gone, is overdoing [the concern for victims]. You have to remember that communism, all forms of totalitarianism on the left are [solutions for] the failure of Christianity and all religions to abolish scapegoating and [essentially say] ‘we have the better way to do it—because we know it's a social phenomenon, because we know it's a psychological phenomenon as the psychoanalysts will tell you, because we know it has something to do with race (there are certain races that don't scapegoat and others that do), and so forth.’ So, in a way, it's the ‘super’ Christianity that communism tried to be, and I think we're going to see other forms of it which might be infinitely worse that what we have seen in the past.”
— René Girard, a 1994 talk
“The genius of Nietzsche made him capable of seeing that this value [the Christian concern for victims] defines our era; but he did everything he could to fight it. All he saw in the Christian attitude was resentment, endless jeremiads, mediocre pity: it was doubtless already a little true in his era, and it is even truer today; but it isn't true at the origin, nor fundamentally: he mistook the caricature for the original. The people who defend him today talk about every Nietzsche but that one: that one is the only true, the only one, and the only, Nazi thinker. We want to forget that Nietzsche and Nazism are indissolubly linked.”

Stellen wir uns vor, die Paketsteuer wäre von Basti & Bumsti eingeführt worden ...
SPÖ und Fans: "Asoziale Steuer auf dem Rücken der Schwächsten!"
Medien: "FPÖ verrät den kleinen Mann, den sie angeblich vertritt"
