Reply to comment by OldSchoolHardcoreG in How to Live In A World That Makes No F*cking Sense: Nietzsche and the Search for Superhuman Laughter by simsquatched

I always find Nietzsche too ego-centric in the sense that becoming the person you want to be is obfuscated by questions about the self instead of creating meaning for yourself.

Kinda like putting someone in Minecraft and then, them asking, "what's the point?" You need to find out for yourself.

ive always interpreted it as asking the question about the self and then continuing along with the self anyway. like saying whats the point of minecraft but you still play and do random stuff til you find your favorite aspect of the game

People that derive their ideas from the material world (nature) i think is fact. And you should ask "whats the point" long before you are influenced.
