It was Gizmodo taking Nietzsche out of context, like everyone else. So I was going to write a little piece about his actual philosophy. I got a little into it and was like “ehhhh there’s probably a YouTube video that’ll be 5x more clear, concise, and interesting.” So here ya go.
I’ll just add a little bit that the video didn’t cover. He was very anti- nihilist. The bone he liked to pick with “external values” was that they’d always be flawed in some way and you’d eventually doubt them, which would ultimately lead to nihilism.
TL;DW- He get’s taken out of context a shit ton, because he spends a lot of time criticizing other philosophies and making exaggerated statements that get taken out of context; and assigned to him. Plus his sister and BIL intentionally twisted some of his work, after his death, to suit the Nazis.

“These men are nihilists Donny. There is nothing to be afraid of.”
