The Schnug Life

I have heard it said often, that Nietzsche is misunderstood. Bart Simpson for example, is not a candidate for a Nietzsche follower as his antics are often fueled by rebellion towards Skinner, thereby making him not be his own person but still defined and controlled by Skinner. He is not self directed and Nietzsche would perhaps find him to be disappointing.

• Nihilism:Nietzsche recognized nihilism as a growing problem in his time, where traditional values were losing their hold, leaving a sense of meaninglessness. 
• Will to Power:He proposed that the fundamental drive in humans and all of nature is the “will to power,” not just the will to survive or achieve specific goals. This “will to power” is a striving for growth, expansion, and overcoming. 
• Overman/Superman (Übermensch):Nietzsche envisioned the “Übermensch” as an ideal human who overcomes nihilism by creating their own values and affirming life. This individual is strong, creative, and embraces both the joys and suffering of existence. 
• Death of God:Nietzsche’s famous declaration, “God is dead,” signifies the decline of religious belief and the loss of a transcendent source of morality and meaning in modern society. This doesn’t necessarily mean he believed in a literal god, but rather that traditional religious frameworks no longer hold the same authority. 
• Perspectivism:Nietzsche argued that there is no single, objective truth. All knowledge and values are shaped by individual perspectives, influenced by experiences, beliefs, and cultural background. 
• Critique of Morality:Nietzsche challenged traditional morality, particularly Christian morality, which he saw as life-denying and promoting weakness and resentment. He argued for a “revaluation of all values,” suggesting that we should create our own values based on affirmation of life and the will to power. 
• “The Last Man”:In contrast to the “Übermensch,” Nietzsche also described the “Last Man,” a complacent individual who seeks only comfort and pleasure, lacking ambition or a desire for self-overcomin

Is Schnuggie an ubermensch?

He seems to be more of your last dog variety. He lives for creature comforts. And just look at the nihilism?!

Sorry Schnuggie.
