Episode notes

i'm very interested in the step that he takes with his view about like the will to power and like yeah what that's all about. so maybe we can come back to nicha later because then i'm very interested in how much of this is a explanatory theory of human motivation right or just wisdom about how we ought to be? I don't have especially with regard to the will of power or will to power any great sense of what the fuck that's allabout right and like did by Didier Deschamps.

David and Tamler dive into the first two parts of Nietzsche’s Beyond Good and Evil which contain some of Nietzsche’s best drive-bys on philosophers like Plato, Descartes, the Stoics, Kant, and Hegel along with beliefs in free will, hard determinism, Christianity, morality, conceptual analysis, objectivity, and the value of truth. We argue about Nietzsche’s metaphilosophy and the implications of thinking that all philosophy amounts to a personal confession by the author. Plus – have David’s prayers been answered? Does quantum theory entail that our consciousness outlives the death of our physical bodies? A blog post about a somewhat recent book says yes!
