Would you rather be a knight of faith or an ubermensch? Why?

Good question and one I have been conflicted about all my life.

Better to be a saint, which is superior to both.

uber if I had to choose

partially because I'm not a faithfag, but mostly because being an uber would be a larger change given how nietzsche describes the uber. A knight of faith is just a pretty cool dude, but the uber is to man as man is to a monkey or something like that. The latter seems like the experience that would provide the most new perspective.

Knight of faith ofc
Being an ubersmensch doesn't bring any real meaning and satisfaction to life.
As knight of faith we accept that life is absurd and by faith, we can finally have a meaning in life and also act independently from the world.

>> No.10158572

>>10158129
You've missed the point. There is no logical justification for a soul, so I don't believe it. My disbelief of the soul is not based on faith, but rationality, unlike your

the problem with ubersmensch's meaning of life is that it matters only to that one ubermensch and is just as valid as any other meaning of life or even not having one at all

>>10158651
then how can meaning of life for ubermensch be satisfying? only when he has the ability to actually live freely without anything preventing him from reaching for power?

>> No.10158697

>>10158676
It's satisfying because he makes it satisfying, duh

I'm not 100% sure what your second question is asking, but it sounds wrong

>> No.10158712

>>10158697
what I mean, is can an ubermensch still have a satisfying meaning of life (which is based on the finite) when an outside factor permanently prevents him from living his life as he wants and reaching his own goals?

>> No.10158723

>>10158712
Yes, because he could change his value system such that he was entirely content and maximally happy with his current lot, and impose his will upon himself to make himself happy. The will to power is just as much over oneself as it over others

>> No.10158776

>>10155806
The ubermensch has this 'striving to be the uberubermensh' thing, while the KoF is pretty much endgame.
So the latter.
