Scaruffi on Beyond good and evil: This is another extremely confusing book. If i didn't know how famous the writer became, i would think that this book was written by an ignorant idiot who didn't study history, and didn't study philosophy, and was simply a verbose, delirious individual. So much for a book that was written to "explain" the obscure ideas of "Zarathustra". In general, the book is an attack on traditional morality. Most of the book is, in fact, just the "attack". He keeps insulting philosophers (and not only philosophers) without really explaining what is wrong with them. It's like me beginning this article by saying that you are an idiot, your father is an idiot, your brother is an idiot, your neighbor is an idiot, etc. End of chapter 1. Full article: https://www.scaruffi.com/phi/nietz3.htmlIs he right?

>>24961645>wrote some aphorisms and essays>read the aphorismsHe is Le Nietzschean. Aphorism 4 basically has him throwing his own reviews into the trash and just slobbering over Nietzsche.
>>24961645>Scaruffi
Nietzsche uses ad hominem for a reason. Want to know the biggest clue as to why Nietzsche was right? It's the fact that every criticism of him is absolute dogshit. Just pure small-minded misinterpretation, pearl-clutching, and screeching about how Nietzsche doesn't follow their stupid assumptions of what philosophy is.
>>24961645Scaruffi's opinions really aren't valuable outside of music (and they're not gospel either, just useful for discovering new musicians). Just look at his 2025 people of the year (one of them is Jimmy Kimmel).
Scaruffi has the best take on The Legend of Zelda series I've ever seen from anyone overall. Almost every game gets a score from him that's brutally accurate and honest about its actual quality.
>>24961645>>24961934>Nonetheless, the book is full of contradictions and weak statements that can easily be disproven by any philosopher using elementary logic (that is, any philosopher who has time to waste).it's very obvious this kid is not a philosopher>the first time i read Nietzsche i felt that his books were just a ridiculous collection of nonsense, written in poor German, and largely based on an embarrassing degree of ignorance about anthropology, sociology, art and scienceyup, not a philosopher
>>24962592>Scaruffi has the best take on The Legend of Zelda series I've ever seen from anyone overall.yeah that does seem like more of his lane
>>24962592He should stick to doing that, and you should stick tot /v/
>>24962386i think that when even bertrand russell accepts that his system is internally consistent, whining about "muh logic" in regards to nietzsche is the clearest sign of being an amateur and a dilettante
>>24962592I wonder why it's acceptable these days for grown-ass adults not only to remain childish and play shitty video games in their free time, but also to have the confidence to talk about it in public as if it's even remotely interesting. Nobody cares, you retarded manchild.
>>24961934Well said.
>>24962605>yup, not a philosopherThis. Neitzsche was more of a failed artist who found a pseudocreative outlet in philosophy.
>a literal who biting at neetcheese's heels this is like a 200 follower account trying to farm clout from a bigger account. academics are useless midwits.
>>24963178>a literal whoDid you just say Pierro Scaruffi is a literal who? You must have no knowledge of computer science, music, history, or politics.
>>24962386>It's the fact that every criticism of him is absolute dogshit>....They just are, okay?!
>>24962606>>24962649>>24962709t. limp wristed tranny that would probably get killed by that anon in one punch bare minimum
kek, there's a lot of gatekeeping from teens that worship Nietzsche here
scaruffi should stick rating shitty indie rock albums, he's clearly out of his depth, embarrassing
judging by his prose, another empty headed puppet with hollow credentials
>>24963312his only credentials are he had a web 1.0 blog where he posted a ton of reviews of rock albums
>>24963316hes literally an ai pioneer whos been prominent in the field since the 90s but go off
>>24963342>worked on irrelevant pre-transformer doodooya he's life's work is entirely obsolete, great
>>24963282>t. limp wristed trannySounds like your average gamer. Nice self-report, faggot.
>>24963166no, scaruffi is not a philosopher. nietzsche emphatically was.>>24963282BING BING WAHOO!
>>24961645>you are an idiot, your father is an idiot, your brother is an idiot, your neighbor is an idiot, etc. End of chapter 1More books like this?
>>24961645But what does he think about The Beatles?
>>24962709Scaruffi is a renaissance man that strives to experience every kind of art.
>>24961645Isn't this nigga supposed to be a music critic?
>>24963760>>24964123post wrists
>>24964374the princess is in another castle lol
>>24964388I accept your concession.
>>24964421my concession that you and scaruffi should stick to videogames? sure
Lol, I didn't expect just mentioning Zelda here would cause a bunch of people to go apeshit attacking and defending me. You're a weird bunch getting riled up like this.Anyway, Zelda was one of the things that motivated me to get more seriously into music. It was like, while I really enjoyed music, I wouldn't listen to an album and feel like the album as a whole was significantly more than a sequence of tracks giving me emotions one after the other. Conversely, playing something like Ocarina/Majora, I experienced the games as this grand thing where all the individual parts and aspects related to and paralleled each other in various ways that contributed to a total experience that felt significant.I was aware that it was supposed to be possible to get this kind of thing out of music itself in its own right, so I set out to find out how I might be able to do so, made real progress over the course of a decade, and basically made a journal of experiences the turned into a kind of treatise on how certain ways of experiencing artforms can come about, and what barriers there are to this being possible for an individual.>>24963282Like, a decade ago I was able to replicate a lot of Bruce Lee's training regiment, my wrists aren't the same now and I can't actually punch how I used to.

>>24964498Pretending most people in 4chan don't play vidya, even in /lit/ is a little silly.
>>24962709What's wrong with video games?
>>24961934You forgot your tripcode
>>24962709I've been on /lit/ long enough to get a grasp of this kind of poster;>hates video games despite posting on a website catering to weebs and gamers>a christian who is on a website that posts porn all day>hates the jews despite worshipping one>hates free verse despite not reading poetry>hates modern music despite not knowing anything about classical>pretends not to know who e-celebs are despite being a chronically online person>hates zoomers despite having arrested development and staying on 4chan far past the time you're expected to departhow'd I do
>>24967069you don't have a grasp on any of this
