>I don't think his opinions on Wagner are remotely important to "getting" nietsche lmao
Yeah, not important! Even though he denotes two books to the fucking guy (not including the birth of spirit, where a quarter of the book is denoted to Wagner), as well as hundreds of aphorisms. But this is why Nietzsche is so "easy" and "poetic" to everyone: they read a paragraph, not seeing any of the connections he's making, then think he's being "poetic" because they can't see them, and so think it's all wasted space.
>or a random aphorism in the gay science
if you understood it, you would realize how it connects to his analyses of the greeks. But people can barely parse the meaning of it! Let alone go any deeper into it! Even walter kaufmann cites it exclaiming that he has no idea what it means lol. People's interpretations of Nietzsche are so shallow they will think that when Nietzsche uses the word "dancing", he really means actual dancing!
And here I am, arguing with a guy who can't even spell his name right, let alone understand why his opinions on Wagner are important to understanding him...

The Greeks have been said to have had philosophy in their blood. But the modern Greeks have nothing in their blood, not even blood. They do not even have blood in their blood. Funny.
