Taking Sides: Søren Kierkegaard vs. Freidrich Nietzsche

Want to believe Kierkegaard, mostly feel like Nietzsche.

Eternal No Nietzsche? Or Eternal Yes Nietzsche? Or shitty health Nietzsche?

Nietzsche, but more bc I'm not a Kierkegaard fan than bc I am a Nietzsche fan

I don't know much Monty Python, but ILX polls like this one always bring to mind:

also, for me amor fati Nietzsche is the best Nietzsche

Mine too. The Yea-Sayer.

Clemenza, I searched your archives and only found this

Explain Kierkegaard to me, if you please.

Monty Python rules. Every sperm is sacred.

Nietzsche is funny

Kierkegaard is pretty funny too!

“How did I get into the world? Why was I not asked about it and why was I not informed of the rules and regulations but just thrust into the ranks as if I had been bought by a peddling shanghaier of human beings? How did I get involved in this big enterprise called actuality? Why should I be involved? Isn't it a matter of choice? And if I am compelled to be involved, where is the manager—I have something to say about this. Is there no manager? To whom shall I make my complaint?”

Nietzsche is better than you first think of him after you first get over him, but still not punching in the same weight class as Soren K imo

whoa thats a weird translation of the quote

One sticks one’s finger into the soil to tell by the smell in what land one is: I stick my finger in existence — it smells of nothing. Where am I? Who am I? How came I here? What is this thing called the world? What does this world mean? Who is it that has lured me into the world? Why was I not consulted, why not made acquainted with its manners and customs instead of throwing me into the ranks, as if I had been bought by a kidnapper, a dealer in souls? How did I obtain an interest in this big enterprise they call reality? Why should I have an interest in it? Is it not a voluntary concern? And if I am to be compelled to take part in it, where is the director? I should like to make a remark to him. Is there no director? Whither shall I turn with my complaint?

true/false: when you first get into Nietzsche, it's always the eternal no, godhead nihilist Nietzsche, right?

like i've never met a teenager who liked eternal yes Nietzsche

Loving the aesthetic life, suits the internet, thanks for endorsing it K.

yeah. Viking Portable Nietzsche, friend to atheist junior high dickheads since sometime in the 50s I guess.

I liked Nietszche the yeasayer when I was a teen cos I felt he gave value to what I saw as "my struggles".

*eternal winces*

still feel like Kierkegaard's trying to sell me God on the sly, have to vote Nietzsche tbh
