Masters vs. Slaves | Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morality Explained

Just released the companion interview to this lecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzzxFuyJX5E I interview one of the leading Nietzsche Scholars to try and understand why he rejected free will and how he suggested we live without it.

been waiting for those rare moments were yt actually recommends me high quality content

Halfway through and I can already say this is for sure, and probably by far, the best random youtube recommended video I've gotten yet. Surprisingly fascinating. Bravo.

Your brilliant lectures on Girard opened my mind to a break taking vista of new ideas. And now a lecture on one of the seminal texts of our modern times, for free no less? A truly special gift!

There's a misconception here. Nietzsche didn't necessarily advocate treating others as mere instruments. He endorsed: Shared Humanity, which is a form of compassion driven by a recognition of our shared human experience. This involves empathy and understanding without necessarily feeling pity. Tough Love which represents an approach that motivates the suffering individual to overcome their struggles. It might involve setting boundaries or challenges that ultimately benefit the other person's growth. Respectful Challenge: Nietzsche argued that sometimes challenging others can help them develop. This wouldn't be about using them for your own gain, but pushing them to overcome limitations and reach their full potential.

You've completed destroyed my ability to watch some speakers talking about philosophy cause now the bar is too high. What an absolutely outstanding presentation.

This is the type of content that advances our civilisation. Let's all pray the algorithms are bumping this up.

JBP would say, "Nietzsche misunderstood the "Meek-ness" emphasized in Christianity. Meek doesn't mean those who don't have power. It means those who do have power but decide to not use it wrongly."

Hate to say it but “dunning kruger is in effect majorly here

I think this is one of the most life altering videos I have ever seen on YT. Hope this gentleman continues to do lectures like this

This is truly your calling. Please never stop reading and educating the general public. Your insights are needed and certain to make all of humanity better in the long run. You deserve unbridled success for your elocution and your willingness to synthesize ideas from history and philosophy.

Where did this lecture take place? When am I incredibly tired and thirsty, and when i get home, pop a chilled can of bubbly and aghhh I am refreshed and ready to-energized that is exactly how i feel after stumbling on your channel,wow! I subbed by the 50something minute and i pray i find more channels like yours!

As someone who didn’t understand fasting (only saw it as starvation or self denial), then started doing it and realized why it’s a common practice in so many different religions: It’s not just about asceticism if done “right.” When one stops filling oneself and surrenders one’s grip on control, it creates a vacuum (more space and a void) that PULLS inspiration, epiphanies, enlightenment, answers, visions, clarity, or aha! moments IN That’s why starving oneself to lose weight is different from fasting. Leads to different results even though technically the action/path is “the same.”

This was one of the most incredible YouTube videos I’ve ever seen.

Awesome project! Just in time to motivate a summer of reading. Welcome to the "quit work for passion" club lol. Seeing your older videos at a pivotal moment tipped the scale subconsciously for me, to pursue different paths.

Last year I had the great joy of watching Michael Sugrue’s philosophy lecture series on YouTube. These lectures feel like a well deserved and very well executed sequel to that series

The Japanese have a concept in Ikigai that aligns with the idea of Master and Slave Morality. It recognizes that some individuals have the duty to lead (Master Morality), while others are more suited to serve (Slave Morality). The key isn't about leaders being self-absorbed or servers being incompetent. Instead, the solution lies in combining and acknowledging their strengths. By learning to balance and complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, they can work harmoniously and effectively together.

I don't know what magical YouTube fairy brought me here but omg this is the best thing I've watched in a fair while - THANK YOU YOUTUBE FAIRIES

This is amazing Johnathan. Keep doing what you're doing. Excellent presentation.
