2018 Rd 20: Post Game Calm & Civilized Discussion: Carlton vs GWS

[PaulP]

Nietzsche..the fascists favourite.

Actually some of his quotes are pretty relevant to our situation

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.

Actually, neither Nietzsche nor his writings were of interest to the Nazis or any other similar organisation. His sister Elizabeth twisted and forged his work to give them a level of acceptability to such groups.

I should know that Cookie, having spent some time with Lakota people at Wounded Knee and the Black Hills (although they weren't too fussed about what Custer may or may not have said!).  I suspect that it was more along the lines of "Where the f**k did these c***ts come from?" or perhaps, "I should have paid more attention to basic cavalry tactics."

Kelly Clarkson (related to the Angry Ant?) sang about it but, apparently, Friedrich Nietzsche is to blame and his words are translated as “That which does not kill us, makes us stronger."

Didn't he have some success at FF for the Dees? Oh no, that was David Neitz, apologies.

Wilhelm Friedrich Nietzsche:
"Was mich nicht umbringt, macht mich stärker." from 'Twilight of the Idols').
Translated better: “That which does not destroy me, makes me stronger.”

So we should be damn strong soon!

"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."
Original: Wer mit Ungeheuern kämpft, mag zusehn, dass er nicht dabei zum Ungeheuer wird. Und wenn du lange in einen Abgrund blickst, blickt der Abgrund auch in dich hinein. Beyond Good and Evil

I'm afraid that is us. We've looked too long at those below, so we have become them.

Thanks Crash, of making something sensible from the bewildering array of gibberish that Nietzsche promulgated.

Does he who minds gorillas become a gorilla?  ???

It depends on whether the gorillas rip the minder's arms off.  Keeping your arms is a positive

So the gorilla's objective would be to render the minder armless?

Once again, we need a "like" button!

Does he who minds gorillas become a gorilla?  ???

Yes, and we are all hoping Weitering stares long and deep!

Quid Pro Quo Clarice!

In thought, perhaps, unless there is access to genetic modification.
