Nietzsche was one of the great comedians of all time. Henny Youngman's tagline was "Take my wife please", Rodney Dangerfield's, 'I don't get no respect", and I just cracked up every time Nietzsche said, "Thus spoke Zarathustra'. He was one really funny guy.

 

What's your POV about the topic?
or
What do you think I should change the topic of the thread to?
or
Should I ask the mod to remove it?

 

I think changing the title might be good, so long as you have changed your mind

Maybe something about what actions might be wise to take, given that freedom of speech is limited in many ways.
Perhaps gathering the best-known minds of the age, steeped in enlightenment-era tripe and revolt against the king.
Ermmm...no offense intended.

Maybe so, but did he ever say it so succinctly, or did it take several hundred pages of tiresome thrashing?

 

I read somewhere that,
A wise man said:
Everything would be all right in the end.

What do you think, let's not talk at all and let everything be as it is or change as it wants and we just be observers and listeners?

Just one question:
What if what that wise man said is wrong? What if things won't be all right in the end?

 

If my early 20s retarded stoner brain has kept the information, he must've said it in the simplest way possible.

Either in Thus Spoke Zaro or The Gay Science, cause I remember distinctly where I was when the idea entered my brain, and at that time it could be either one of the books.

 

Joke's on you, he never said it in English.

 

Es spielt keine Rolle, er war in jeder Sprache ein lustiger Kerl.

Like Frank Zappa said..."Aber beklecker nicht das sofa sofa!

 

If it's not a democracy, it is not freedom as a group. You can find freedom jumping in the jungle, but as a group of humans or societys, or countries. As I was saying, democracy is the closest as freedom we were in history. It is not still perfect, as freedom is an ideal, as democracy, love, or kindness. If you can not choose is not freedom. In real democracies your power of talk is limited too, more freedom to speak and act less to more people at the expenses of total freedom for only a few. Silence is freedom too, and no action is freedom too, as Ghandi for example showed in India.

When you design a social and legal system you have to chooose the line bt liberty and security. That's an eternal debate because some agents in their own illegitimate interest want more freedom, against others rights.

Your freedom ends where my freedom starts.

The problem now, everybody blurbs in internet, the dumbest oppions everywhere, complaining about they can not take action. That's political manipulation. Fuck off, and read the constitution.
