Why did Nietzsche Go Mad?

8 posts in this topic

My theory is that his heart wasn't strong enough to keep up with with his mind.

But idk that much about him so, could be wrong.

Anyone else have a theory?

Very high levels of consciousness are not grounded in logic. 

Those who see everything through the lens of logic, call the illogical, madness.

@Phil King @Hello from Russia jesus, wtf are these responses lol 

I loved these response!!! I needed a good laugh. Keep them coming!!!


You are a selfless LACK OF APPEARANCE, that CONSTRUCTS AN APPEARANCE. But that appearance can disappear and reappear and we call that change, we call it time, we call it space, we call it distance, we call distinctness, we call it other. But notice...this appearance, is a SELF. A SELF IS A CONSTRUCTION!!! 

So if you want to know the TRUTH OF THE CONSTRUCTION. Just deconstruct the construction!!!! No point in playing these mind games!!! No point in creating needless complexity!!! The truth of what you are is a BLANK!!!! A selfless awareness....then that means there is NO OTHER, and everything you have ever perceived was JUST AN APPEARANCE, A MIRAGE, AN ILLUSION, IMAGINARY. 

Everything that appears....appears out of a lack of appearance/void/no-thing, non-sense (can't be sensed because there is nothing to sense). That is what you are, and what arises...is made of that. So nonexistence, arises/creates existence. And thus everything is solved.

   I think it's the opposite: his heart was too strong for his mind to keep up. Especially seeing a guy beat a horse in front of him was too much.

The best modern guess is that Nietzsche was likely suffering from dementia by the time he was institutionalized.

In addition, his upbringing under the thumb of two overbearing sisters likely created a shadow around his relationship with women, which could explain why he was never able to form a healthy relationship with women throughout his life.

Regardless of the merits of his philosophy, he was also basically the 19th century equivalent an an incel. 

My own take is that he was a highly flawed genius, someone to learn from but not idolize or try to emulate.
