This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Nietzsche particularly said that we should all strive to be the best versions of ourselves, something he called "uber-mensch" an idea, which I believe was hijacked by Nazis.

He was a nihilist, but he also urged everyone to create their own values and follow it to be the best you can be. But, then he was also a disgusting sexist. People are complicated.

My bad I made the mistake of reading more than one of his books.
