>Nietzsche holds Socrates in special contempt. Socrates, he believes, was ugly (a symptom or feature of his inner weakness and decadence) and was a product of the "lower orders" of society. Nietzsche singles out two particular ideas of Socrates for attack. The first is the interconnectedness of reason, virtue, and happiness. The second is Socrates's introduction of the dialectic method to philosophy (the process by which two or more people with different points of view reach a conclusion through a process of discourse, logic, and reason, also called the Socratic method). Nietzsche thought that the dialectic allowed weaker philosophical positions and less sophisticated thinkers to gain too large a foothold in a society. Nietzsche's program valued instinct over reason, but because of Socrates and the dialectic, Greek culture now became "absurdly rational."[5] A key part of Nietzsche's thesis is that "happiness and instinct are one," but reason stands in direct opposition to instinct.
this is the best example ever of the bell curve meme

@augustus nietzsche really is an interesting thinker, I see him more like someone like Sam Hyde, where you never know what is serious and what is just for the lulz, but there’s still a real message in all of it.

@augustus with his biography in mind, a lot of his works seem to be him punching himself for being a beta cuck when he actually knows how to be a based sigma.

@lain Twilight of the Idols and Genealogy are the only works by him I've read, he's a little too edgy for me and he comes across as annoying and whiny as fuck but I don't think he's really wrong
