Ad hominem

>affirms life

How did this Schopenhauerian pupil develop into such a laughing stock?

Nietzsche will live forever.

>"The spiritual haughtiness and nausea of every man who has suffered profoundly – it almost determines the order of rank how profoundly human beings can suffer – his shuddering certainty, which permeates and colors him through and through, that by virtue of his suffering he knows more than the cleverest and wisest could possibly know, and that he knows his way and has once been ‘at home’ in many distant, terrifying worlds of which ‘you know nothing’ – this spiritual and silent haughtiness of the sufferer, this pride of the elect of knowledge, of the ‘initiated,’ of the almost sacrificed, finds all kinds of disguises necessary to protect itself against contact with obtrusive and pitying hands and altogether against everything that is not its equal in suffering. Profound suffering makes noble; it separates."

>"Man may bleed to death through the truth that he recognizes"

>“Man, as the animal that is most courageous, most accustomed to suffering, does not negate suffering as such: he wants it, even seeks it out, provided one shows him some meaning in it, some wherefore of suffering.”

>''My brother, do you know the word "contempt" yet? And the agony of your justice—being just to those who despise you? You force many to relearn about you; they charge it bitterly against you. You came close to them and yet passed by; that they will never forgive. You pass over and beyond them: but the higher you ascend, the smaller you appear to the eye of envy. But most of all they hate those who fly.''

>“And life confided the secret to me: behold, it said, I am that which must always overcome itself.”

>“To have and to want to have more – growth, in one word – that is life itself.”

>“That something is a hundred times more important than the question of whether we feel well or not: basic instinct of all strong natures…In sum, that we have a goal for which one does not hesitate…to risk every danger, to take upon oneself whatever is bad and worst: the great passion.”

>''Injustice and filth they throw after the lonely one: but, my brother, if you would be a star, you must not shine less for them''

I guess personality

I've read the same authors you have, only that I can't remain nihilistic when the entire world is crumbling all around me. I take actions, hoping the moment of now is not eternal.

It's also genetic. Asians are statistically smarter, though that's not something you should say these days and you only will read it in books from the 50s.

I guess you came to the wrong neighbourhood, objectivist scum

Thus Spake Zarathustra in the olde-english translation on Gutenberg. Not a religion per se, but reads like the Bible, only difference is that it makes sense. Proof that syphillitic asspies are better writers than ancient sheepshaggers, but I guess we all knew that already.
