RE: Being Rational in an Irrational System, Sane to the Insanity

You sound like me Krnel, we share the same opinion in many regards.

Nietzsche is one of my favorite authors. Nietzsche would have been labeled a "Nazi" nowadays and put behind bars.

That guy speaks so much unfiltered truth.

Heroes and people that speak the truth are put behind bars now or they get killed, which tells me that tyrants rule everywhere nowadays.

What I have found hilarious after some reflection is when someone labels you mentally ill that it is according to society that you are mentally ill.

The funny thing is, that being a brain-dead sheep (99% of society) that is unable to think critically or to stand for something because of fear and ignorance is what I consider mentally ill because that sheep is barely able to think for itself.

This is my favorite Nietzsche quote:

“For believe me! — the secret for harvesting from existence the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment is: to live dangerously! Build your cities on the slopes of Vesuvius! Send your ships into uncharted seas! Live at war with your peers and yourselves! Be robbers and conquerors as long as you cannot be rulers and possessors, you seekers of knowledge! Soon the age will be past when you could be content to live hidden in forests like shy deer! At long last the search for knowledge will reach out for its due: — it will want to rule and possess, and you with it!”

Yeah, unthinking is what I call it, reflexive thinking and processing in automated ways relative to the causal interchange of necessary interactions in life. Ignorance rules.
