Do you people know any modern philosophers/scientist who talk about the universe and similar things?
Half wits is used like a insult, and lets be real its enlightened state of mind.modern thinkers on existence don't exist, all we have is half-wits like

Tyson and Pinker are happy mofos.
It makes me wonder if it makes people happy.
That is pure science of happiness right there.halfwit was a bit over the top, i meant to say midwit - these are sort of middle-of-the-curve people who try hard to appear intellectual. I do not think hey are happy, as shown in this graph:
Its actually something I never explored, because to me the domain that fits this is cosmology, and that is rather modern science, where people literally form theories and ideas about the universe as a physical formed space and body by empirically looking into the space around us, using telescopes.Do you people know any modern philosophers/scientist who talk about the universe and similar things?
Most smart people don't even know they are smart. Here is listed of gifted people ergo very smart people, in school settings.halfwit was a bit over the top, i meant to say midwit - these are sort of middle-of-the-curve people who try hard to appear intellectual.

i think most smart people just take the path of least resistance in life, just like most other people. If you're some math whizzkid you'll probably just get hired as a human calculator by AT&T or something.Also there are so many super smart people with say 4 degrees from super prestigious schools just doing reg jobs, because being smart is glamorized, but often that lifestyle just sucks. Unless you are Steven Hawking that is.
Nietzsche was a poor thinker, he didn't use his rational faculties for the betterment of society but used it for literary prose for his own personal feelings. Existentialists in general did not contribute much to society. They orphaned spiritual orphans and only wrought chaos to societies.
i think its brilliant"This spirit affirmatively takes into itself the most painful aspects of existence. For this spirit, suffering is not a means to a transcendent, holy existence, because being in this world is itself holy enough to justify a tremendous amount of suffering. He can smile in the face of the most terrible thought—meaningless, aimless existence recurring eternally.” - Nietzsche
What u guys think?
embraces physical life in all its glory, even if its full of dirt.
absolutelyso Nietzsche was a positive philosopher right

some people think he was some sort of nihilist, which is the opposite of what he was. He viewed nihlism as a stepping stone from the anti-life logic of christianity to real enlightenment, the ubermensch state
yes he will make the most awesome onlyfans account everwhat can the ubermensch do? Will he start a youtube channel or be a cam model or what?

A spiritual void exists because a spiritual void is possible.
You cannot deny that laws of spirituality exist; if they exist, then this deep magic cannot be ignored with puppies and rainbows.
The mass wars that followed were prophetic to what exactly happened because human beings are animals and animals' needs were never satisfied by the bible or science. postmodernism is the resulting failure of humans not to understand psychology. people think we can blame others when it is a spiritual law that the condition of the human comes first by the dependant arising of matter and energy.
These dependencies will not allow suffering only if the laws are obeyed.
You are born in the place you are and become who you are as physics deems.
The gnostics then had the right answers in the wrong conclusions.
We are trapped as spirits, not because of a fall but because we did arise unconsciously out of primordial chaos.
This was not planned by a deity, this happened and we must overcome it.

I don't see an argument in this post.
Nietszche's works is as useful as the story of Batman. Sure, it helped some comic nerds enjoy literature.
Then what.
Sad thing is no matter how smart the kid is you get fast tracked into whatever insert box, humanity or parent feels like is best way to contribute.i think most smart people just take the path of least resistance in life, just like most other people. If you're some math whizzkid you'll probably just get hired as a human calculator by AT&T or something.
to take interesting life choices - now that requires wisdom, philosophy, decisive action
I don't see anything, just flowery language. Have you read any Nietzsche? I have his Will to Power and his Genealogy. They weren't that insightful nor did they forward anything within society during or after his time. Perhaps it would be fruitful if you actually grappled with the content which you are explaining.I don't see an argument in this post.
What do you see?

The first step in understanding what to do is to know where you are.
Nietzsche has allowed us to see Jesus is not coming back such that worldwide he will be king in some physical temple and we should try and fix humanity in a different way than just praying or converting people.
It may be we need to change the human being the way we changed the horse or the dog. A domestication program of sorts. This program has been happening since after the end of the world war in 1945.
We thought at first that economically in the USA we should create a consumerism society to counterbalance the Great Depression. But this also led to the nihilism of the masses when people had many psychological wounds and domestic abuse from the war.
At first it was working, we had more goods but we needed a planned society. Then Vietnam happened and then 9/11 and then the 2008 crash then covid. People became drug addicts and the prison population increased. Today tic tok and other internet addictions restrict the development of young minds. Christianity will do nothing to solve this.
Nietzsche proposed the Uberman to take over and bring the earth into a new state of being creating a new era of civilization. So far this does not seem to be happening. But what is happening is that we can understand what an uberman brain is. 1 in 1,000 people can hold 16 items in their working memory at once. They follow 16 instructions at the same time concurrently. But this is not the top uberman, the top uberman is like Iron Man holding 25 processes in their heads all happening together. only 10 people on the earth can do this. so the uberman exists but what is the uberman for?
well, Iron Man is a superhero because he creates technology. So is Batman.
together they run society and though they are only fictional, real people like them exist. they are only on in 1,000 IQ but they run part of the world program for what happens globally. just like Wyne Industries and Stark Industries.

It's not my job to be a student and a caretaker at the same time. If you want to discuss intellectual progress the utmost basic prerequisite would be to read the material at hand before you make any definitive input. Me pointing that out isn't putting anyone down, it's literally basic common sense. If you want respect you should least subscribe to the bare basics. Nietzsches works are like 10 bucks on kindle, it isn't a mammoth task to buy his works.

Don't be elitist. Just state what you think. Is Christianity going to solve the world's problems or not?
Christianity isn't the answer to the world's problems. If you believe religion is a societial program, you've severely misunderstood what faith is. Faith does not care whether or not the world is ending, the only matter that faith involves itself is his relation to God, nothing else.
Again, please go learn the basics before you provide input.
I have heard a lot of Christian say these type of things, like they mean something.Faith does not care whether or not the world is ending, the only matter that faith involves itself is his relation to God, nothing else.
It depends on what sense of the 'universe' you're talking about. If you're talking about the physical cosmology of the universe, there's plenty of astrophysists who can tell you about the make up of the stars and the length of time of the universe and how it has expanded, and the make up of other galaxies and how light travels between these galaxies and so on.
If you're talking about the universe in terms of its purpose, there's a philosophical category called 'teleology' which groups people who've talked about these things, about life and so on.
If you're talking about the human being itself, the term is ontology, and many philosophers throughout the written human record have talked and developed upon this.
Most philosophers now talk about the critical effects of people who have talked about the universe and similar things, namely, the program called 'enlightenment'. Modern philosophers talk about whether or not we've lived up to those standards philosophers in the past have talked about or whether that project was impossible or unachievable.
The title of your thread here, 'ubermensch', falls under an existential philosopher who could fall under a group of people who have stood against the enlightenment project, launched by their predecessor philosophers.
"Existence is a gift, suffering & apathy is a part of that gift, it's not a tool.""This spirit affirmatively takes into itself the most painful aspects of existence. For this spirit, suffering is not a means to a transcendent, holy existence, because being in this world is itself holy enough to justify a tremendous amount of suffering.

You do not have the basic love in your heart which is what Christianity is about.
If God is not going to save humanity then he is nothing and faith is nothing.
“It will be bad for you teachers of the law and you Pharisees! You are hypocrites! You give God a tenth of the food you get, even your mint, dill, and cumin. But you don't obey the really important teachings of the law—being fair, showing mercy, and being faithful.

survivalism has always been the purpose of the universe, the goal is to survive no matter what nature throws at you. Whether you are alone in the desert, or on another planet.
Christianity is not about love
