so what, who cares

>The Overman creates his own morality
hm sounds interesting, i'm developing a sense of what 'the Overman' might mean for our future

>but the mass murderers and tyrants who created their own moralities are not really Overmen
ah a twist, but yeah, sounds right to me too

so i guess nietzsche here is introducing into culture a mysterious thought that's yet to take on a fully logical form

better to publish a half-understood truth than nothing at all

better to write for imaginative readers than for pedants

>mass murderers and tyrants who created their own moralities
they actually didn't. they just performed the role that was assigned to them by their own society. society requires at times somebody who is willing to wage war and slaughter enemies. nietzsche was not talking about napoleon

Nietzsche is not that hard to understand

Live for your happiness, your life is unique so what is good and bad should be tailored for you.

Don't be a loser, don't be uncreative, don't be a passion slave

Notice how every modern show involves criminals? Yeah? Well that's because normieass dudes aren't free people and don't make actual creative moral decisions in their lives so it makes for uninteresting stories, because only free people are interesting to look at, whether they're ultimately good or bad.

>Live for your happiness, your life is unique so what is good and bad should be tailored for you.

>now lemme tell you what is bad and you shouldn't do

This is your brain on Nietzsche
>>
It's the difference between wanton tyranny and morals derived internally and power seized by someone who embraces will to power. Will to power is not JUST about exercising your will on others.

>Live for your happiness

>the hour when you become disgusted even of your joy
>the hour when you say: what good is my happiness! it is poverty and filth and miserable comfort!
