Thought 561: Nietzsche's Courage

Nietzsche's courage was to correctly

perceive the lie of metaphysics,

of the invisible true world.

Thought 560: On Articulation in Sheet Music

The fidelity to articulation

should not come at the expense

of the felicity of musicality.

Thought 559: What Is Discipline?

What is discipline?

Discipline is forcing

oneself: doing the 

necessary in spite

 of not being in

the mood to do it.

Thought 558: Aphoristic Elucidation III

Aphorism

'"All truth is simple."

—Isn't that a double lie?—'

—Nietzsche,

Twilight of the Idols

or How to Philosophise

with a Hammer,

Arrows and Epigrams,

§.4

Elucidation

All truth is not 

simple, therefore

'all truth is simple'

is a lie in its content

as well as its 

simple form.

Thought 557: Emotional Thought Hygiene

Thoughts and emotions

need to be cleansed

just like parts of

the body do.

Thought 556: Disagreeing with a Thinker

Disagreeing with a thinker,

when it is more than a thoughtless, 

superficial, and presumptuous dismissal,

can help us further our own thinking,

for it has been said that

'One repays a teacher poorly if

one always remains only a student.' 

—Friedrich Nietzsche,

Thus Spoke Zarathustra

—A Book for Everyone and Nobody,

First Part, The Speeches of Zarathustra,

22. On the Bestowing Virtue, §.3

I will view SOT as

a success if, in being

disagreed with, it has

helped others in their

understanding.

Thought 555: Limitation of the Work Ethic as Moral Paradigm

When the Work Ethic

starts justifying the harmful

and needless wastage of

energy and resource, 

it has reached its

limitation.

(That work

should have

become the

religion of 

civilised

peoples

the moment

it was least

necessary

for survival

is as good

an indicator

of the purgatorial

human condition

as any other.)
