You're not reading it
Insane how people romanticise this book without even getting past the first pages. Anyone who has actually read this knows how shallow it all is...

It is a fine starting point for those who are drifting completely untethered

Your cult of Jesus was invented by plagiarizing the works of Stoics, especially the writings of Epictetus. Everything that's good and not related to semitic desert savagery in the bible comes from Stoicism and Greek philosophy in general.

Calling ancient Israelite culture savage is just moronic. It doesn't matter if you disagree with its values or don't want it to influence Western culture, it's objectively a culture of monumental genius, something that Nietzsche willingly admitted.

Good starting point but Epictetus really changed my whole outlook on life

It's perfectly fine as an entry to basic philosophy.

Seneca's Letters is the superior stoic literature, it's not even close.

It's literally a slave culture. Their theocratic tendencies and delusions of a "chosen" status are just an escape from their disagreeable reality: that they are a despised and disreputable slave race with no homeland and no apparent future.
Also, fuck Nietzsche.

Agreed. I put it into practice too, beating down communists with my fists daily while reciting his aphorisms. The other communists run away, maybe even call the police they want to defund. While I stand like a titan over the subhuman, my arms bloody up to my elbows. Ave Avrelivs.
