Masculinity in Crisis: Nietzsche's Solution

Published 2023-04-20
Men are NOT okay. In this video, I reference studies indicating a male decline in education and relationships. I draw insights from Existentialist Philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, to shed light on a more Formidable way of live -- a life bound with meaning and voluntarily, purposeful suffering.

There's a reason people like Joe Rogan, Jordan Peterson, Jocko Wilink, David Goggins, Andrew Tate, Andrew Huberman, Chris Williamson, and many are so revered among men today. Struggling men are seeking a mentor. With suicide on the rise on the rise among men, and with technology-addiction in full swing, it seems the break neck speed of life leaves no respite.

Nietzsche's philosophy provides two powerful solutions to this modern male malaise: Amor Fati & Will-To-Power... I hope (if you are even reading this) these two concepts help you on your journey to becoming…

Beyond Formidable.

    My friend, lots and lots of summaries of Nietzsche's philosophy circulate online, have seen lots, but this was one of the best. Molon Lave!

    I've never found such a good channel so early in it's timeline. Good stuff 👌

    This has been so inspiring and meaningful. The closest friend I have ever had killed himself 2 days ago, and I have been trying to find meaning within this tough time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    Great Edit. Nietzsche would have hated the free dopamin your video gave me, but would have loved the call to action and pathos. I am too heavily inspired by the old moustache afficionado after a year of intense reading and living his ideas.
  • it sounds like your solution to issues facing men today are to lean into Nietzsche’s philosophical concepts of will to power and amor fati. The question is how to get people to move away from their devices!? It would be cool to see a video on addiction; I’ve heard that men are more prone to addiction 🤔

    Thank you for your wisdom, this is a hidden gem. We cannot get rid of hardships but we can get better hardships.

    The idea of the “Ubermensch”, the propagation of toxic masculinity, and the “Manosphere” needs to be taken into account when examining men’s behaviour in today’s society.
  • 11:29 the quoted passage is not from the thus spoke zarathustra but from the "La Gaya scienza" Siant Januaries
  • I believe I have lots of resilience when things get tough, but is it bad for me to just live my life with some pleasures? I know when those pleasures need to stop for the better and can limit myself, so it confuses me how this philosophy works because it’s as if you’re just making things hard on yourself for no reason. I’m not saying to drown in those pleasures, but to use them when you do have the downtime. I don’t seem to have an issue with living alone for a long time since not everyone finds another to love and that’s okay. I think the most important thing to do is enjoy your life in a healthy way, so no one can take it from you. Is it so bad to not conform to the idea that you need a family or hard work to be the ideal person? It can seem bad to think of myself as just another guy, but I find that there needs to be those average joes when things need to be done.

    Since the universe is finite, you can't have power over anything truly valuable. lf every man lives a purposeful life, what would be the highest purpose he can attain? l think the highest thing a man can attain is silence and calm. You will never be able to put objective over subjective. The world is surrounded be projections, actions differ due to boarders. What human behavior is determined by is the dilution of limitation. When limitation was all that was known, people killed their fellow man, but now that there are dilutions, the knowledge of god needs to be knowledge of god. Nothing is being defined by limitation, everybody is being defined by possession. No argument against fooling yourself is valid, foolishness is the determinant between winners and losers. You would think it would be what a man produces, but what can a man produce? The knowledge of limitation is a solid while dilution is what you do with that solid. lt's like eating one and throwing one away....
