#Fiction is not the same as “not real.” Take a work of Shakespeare for example. Is ‘Romeo and Juliet’ real? Maybe that particular set of people aren’t members of biological history. However, the fact that you even know what I am talking about - a play written in the 1590s - is evidence that it might be more real than other things. Consider the multitude of people, across time, that have been affected by that particular story. In order to touch the lives of so many, it has to be real. #Good is not the same as “harmless” or whatever other descriptor that people use to characterize what it is to be good. As someone who has children, I would not be a good parent if I were unable to actually protect them - meaning, beyond them simply believing I can. This is just one example, but it captures my point. A better view of good would be something like “capable of great and terrible things, if and when it is necessary, but not otherwise.” #rejectbullshit #pleasefuckingthink

Nietzsche is often quoted, correctly, stating that "God is dead" in a seemingly triumphant manner. This interpretation is incomplete and, as a result, incorrectly taken out of context. The specific quote comes from "The Happy Science" (Die fröhliche Wissenschaft), first published in 1882: “God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?” Now, I am not fluent in German, but that does lend to the image of a man who's celebrating the death of God. It is shameful to think that many great thinkers have looked to Nietzsche’s works and somehow managed to miss the message altogether. Or, what's worse, there certainly are those that have endeavored (with much success) to twist and contort the lesson into one that is confused or outright misleading. #plebchain #nostr #philosophy #life #god
