And you aren’t? What does that even mean? Nietzsche was a brilliant genius, which I, as a Christian, readily admit. Stylistically one of the greats among Germans, together with Luther, Goethe and Schopenhauer.

The Catholic Colombian reactionary Nicolás Gómez Dávila wrote (my translation from the German translation): “Nietzsche would be the only aristocratic resident of a deserted world. Only his option could face God’s resurrection without shame.”

And yes, STEM guys are often shallow; Feynman was extremely shallow.

Kurt: ugliness is nothing you choose, it chooses you. In times where women have way more options, guys who aren’t even average — not even in my pants I am: ridiculous four inches (r/smalldickproblems) — have lost and should simply endure existence. I am also a hunchback (besides being mentally ill as well), which is the definition of ugliness. Why would I pass this onto some poor soul?

And I did not hang myself ~10 years ago (survived, obviously) because I am ugly — not only, at least — but because I took my atheism to its logical conclusion. A world bereft of meaning — why would I endure this? Had I not become a Christian around two years ago, I would have tried to kill myself again.

As an atheist in my late teens/twenties, women weren’t even on my mind (I knew I was ugly back then too, of course: worthless genetic trash) — I thought that if I had to continue living, I had to be a genius. My heroes at that time were geniuses like Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Weininger but especially Schopenhauer.

However, not only did I lack their high education — I was too depressed starting to learn Latin and Greek — but I knew that I am only average. I had no academic success either, but dropped out of 9th grade, aged 15; then, due to laws and parental pressure, I finished two crash courses to complete 9th and 10th grade — but I was unable to handle going to a real school afterwards for three years, so at age 18, I dropped out after three days.

It is nonsense that beauty is subjective; it can’t be. While people may have types they like, beauty depends on objective criteria.

For example, I lost more than 50 kilos in less than one year — I always was the fatso in class — at age 18, but was still ugly and small-wienered, as well as mentally ill: a crazy person, basically. Extremely introverted and depressed.

I had and still have this need to end my life. I gained all the weight back after having been forcibly institutionalized and taking medication after my hanging attempt.

I lost some of it again after my conversion experience. I now drag through life and endure it, like the German Catholic poet and writer Reinhold Schneider, who survived a suicide at age 18, and endured his life until he collapsed on the streets at age 55, in Freiburg.

Why do I write this? Because I am tired of the know-it-alls who want to tell me that there are reasons for staying alive besides God’s existence; that life itself somehow can be justified even in God’s absence; that ugliness doesn’t exist, that being a mentally ill, fat hunchback with excess skin and a small four inch wiener who lives at the bottom of society — I am trash on all accounts — without any great talents is perfectly fine.

Implement at least eugenics, so that fat, ugly, hunchbacked, small-wienered and mentally ill people get sterilized, which would have spared me my awful existence.

Jeremiah 20:14-18, Job 3:3, Ecclesiastes 4:3, Philippians 1:21-23.

I mean she’s the more square thinker because she’s the scientist and you are the more imaginative and artistic one, so therefore your subjective and she’s objective.

Or perhaps some of it has to do with the sound of his name, so close to nihilism yet so much more hopeful.

Don’t take the remark about scientists badly: she was probably as bored with my subjectivity as I was mystified by her objectivity.

It’s hard to take you seriously when Nietzsche is talking about shallow women (the “tedious” young wives) and you’re comparing them to an accomplished scientist. As a STEM sort of guy, it’s hard not to feel personally insulted by you.

There’s nothing nice for me to say about that. So I’ll let your imagination fill in the nasty details.

Then you started talking about double-standards when Nietzsche was saying that young lovers can’t be trusted to make important decisions about their lives because they’re irrationally besotted with puppy love. He made the comic suggestion that society ought not to honor such a contract for their own good.

Those things don’t remotely come near to touching one another.

Nietzsche makes a misogynistic statement about how women only see men as a way of getting babies. As much as I like Nietzsche, he was still a man of the times and has a few questionable ideas here-and-there.
