The Machiavellians

To “Know yourself” and to “Become what you are” are two central elements of the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. This was meant to be an antidote to the death of god and the resulting crisis in meaning that would inevitably follow. Nietzsche’s proposed way of overcoming this nihilism was for individuals to create their own values. Throughout Nietzsche’s works he calls upon individuals to resist the values of the herd which breed conformity and instead to create our own individual values. What isn’t well known is what exactly Nietzsche means by “Know yourself” and “Become what you are” or how one creates their own values. In this video I will explain how you can start your own journey of self-cultivation and to create your own values in the way Nietzsche envisioned. Chapters: 1. Introduction and influences. 0:00 2.

In a previous video I showed that Jordan Peterson has at best a poor understanding of Nietzsche. Some viewers pointed out that Peterson is adopting a Jungian critique with the implication being that this somehow makes him right. But what if I told you that Jung’s understanding of Nietzsche was actually worse than Jordan Peterson’s? Jung's connection with Nietzsche is a fascinating tale—beginning positively with Nietzsche's writings marking Jung's first profound spiritual experience but takes a dark turn as Jung fell prey to his own irrational fears. This tension between Jung's love and fear of Nietzsche surfaces in ambivalent remarks, swinging between admiration and overt hostility. Watch this video to find out what happened. Chapters: 1.

Recently some people have asked me about some comments Jordan Peterson has made about Nietzsche. Particularly his claim that Nietzsche was wrong because you cannot create your own values. So in this video I’m going to analyze some of Peterson's comments about Nietzsche and see if they are accurate. I’ll play a video and then respond to what he is saying to see if its true.
