> In 1984, the controller of BBC1 Michael Grade, announced that the 1985 contest would be the last televised on the BBC.[4] Grade stated that the contest "no longer merits national air time. They are an anachronism in this day and age of equality and verging on the offensive."[4]
the idea of a beauty pageant these days seems so old timey and triggering since you're not supposed to acknowledge male sexuality or rank women by beauty
@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

augustus pugin ๐>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
