Text of the page (random words):
reason history hasn t been able to bury nietzsche is cuz he was brilliant remarkably perceptive no doubt about it anyone who grapples with his ideas even on a casual level will readily admit that s why he s still one of the youngest ever tenured professors at age 24 and note that being a professor meant his intellect was highly developed most people associate nietzsche with an arrogant 19th century intellectual who found fault with religion because of its hypocritical morality yeah okay but nietzsche wasn t the first or only to do so remember what jesus said then spake jesus to the multitude and to his disciples saying the scribes and pharisees sit in moses seat all therefore whatsoever they bid you observe that observe and do but do not ye after their works for they say and do not for they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne and lay them on men s shoulders but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers but all their works they do for to be seen of men they make broad their phylacteries and enlarge the borders of their garments for they say and do not you don t hear that verse preached from many pulpits seems little has changed over the centuries no one is immune to error cuz we re all human and therefore fallible by definition you know anybody who s not capable of making a mistake i don t but hypocrisy is particularly odious such as that practiced by politicians when they write laws to punish those who do the very same things they themselves do in secret in an airport bathroom for example continue reading how little fritz became

newport beach major estuary where fresh water meets mixes with ocean water depending on the tide it was overcast but the light is nice for taking pictures when skies are gray bright sunlight tends to wash out colors five photos first one posted here newport back bay 1 i cropped out most of the sky using fireworks and resized down from the camera s default resolution 2272 x 1704 used high quality

marathon for example or log a new personal best for the 10k learn a new technology a new sport anything that might test our mettle personal growth via increasingly challenging experiences you know tony robbins stuff nietzsche challenges me like that tho in a different way he goes deep to the very foundations of our western belief systems an area normally off limits anything considered part of our belief system automatically gets password protected and receives appropriations from the defense budget this area is heavily guarded and protected at all costs normally i m not receptive to people or things that question challenge attack my most basic beliefs few are from what i can see seems however like it might be a worthwhile exercise like weightlifting where we endure an uncomfortable struggle temporarily that leads to growth development grenades reading nietzsche feels like someone walking thru your mind wearing a bandolier of grenades lobbing them one after another at everything we in the christian western world hold sacred he does this with the following rationale i have seen where your belief systems are taking you and it suks to the point of being pathetic yet he also describes why it suks and here is where nietzsche flexes his philosophical muscles rather impressively he makes his points well the most prominent feeling i got from reading nietzsche is what balls what gigantic huevos rancheros he goes after attacks the very foundation of western civilization itself and he doesn t stop until until he arrives axe in hand at the doorstep of christian morality cajones gigantos nietzsche s father was a lutheran pastor as was his daddy before him friedrich s use of scripture makes it clear he was familiar with both the bible christian doctrine from there he takes the reader to the floors below christian morality when the elevator door opens he starts poking around saying i m paraphrasing look over here dude you re getting your knowledge from your beliefs you got it backwards there s the source of your problem no wonder you re so screwed up can t believe nobody has pointed this out before you should be getting your beliefs from your knowledge you need to believe less and doubt more nebuchadnezzar insanity let s pause here a moment to note that nietzsche went insane he had a mental breakdown in his mid 40 s and never recovered spent his last 10 years as toast then he died august 1900 age 55 remember the story of nebuchadnezzar 600 b c he went crazy too god layeth down the smack on ol king nebby ka blammo next thing you know nebby is out in the field munching grass beside the cows you will live with the wild animals and eat grass like cattle until you acknowledge that the most high is sovereign not very regal is it some think it was syphilus and not god that who drove nebby nuts sames goes for nietzsche the sign it s probably just my imagination but i see a foreboding sign hanging over the entrance to nietzsche s garden more like a minefield maybe even an asylum beware all who dare enter here remember what happened to nietzsche signed god p s this is the guy who said god is dead if you listen you can hear the howls of fn echoing from the nearby forest where he s searching for more tasty grass same forest nebby roamed continue reading nietzsche s garden nebuchadnezzar the foreboding sign exploring nietzsche yoga ye olde rad blog v4 by rad on october 5 2010 10 05 am no comments no trackbacks been looking at nietzsche 1844 1900 digging into his life he was born in october finding lots of interesting stuff there not only did he say many thought provoking things but he was also a fascinating character if not a bit of an sshole remarkably perceptive his quotes are more easily weaponized than those of most other philosophers i m considering doing a rad bit on him trying to figure out how to keep it short n sweet the bit i did on che grew rather long nietzsche short sweet could be a challenge reading nietzsche makes my brain mind feel like it did on calculus fit trim strong surplus of intellectual energy which is probably the most finely tuned it has ever been does this suggest that nietzsche his ideas employ a larger portion of your brain than normal if not careful here i could easily slip into nietzsche mode and get carried away but nietzsche deserves a well planned entry it will be fun nietzsche is a trip i like to play freud and try to figure out what makes a person tick even if i m totally wrong what motivates a person to do say the things they do tell me about your childhood friedrich was it happy nietzsche is intellectually stimulating he has a sense of humor and is not afraid to offend that s sorta the price you pay to do nietzsche controversy surrounding his ideas cuz he said many controversial things he had a nervous breakdown and was basically toast his last 10 years so some feel he was always a bit of a lunatic the dividing line on opinions about nietzsche i feel falls along whether or not a particular reader takes offense to his ideas i mean cuz he can pretty offensive but there s no denying he was remarkably perceptive insightful and dedicated to things like truth knowledge to a ruthlessly admirable degree he begins bg e with truth continue reading exploring nietzsche yoga first month of kindergarten ye olde rad blog v4 by rad on october 3 2010 10 03 am no comments no trackbacks hey fancy pants an asian boy called out wearing a smile early one morning this week happy ring in his voice hurrying toward his classroom i assumed hey the bug responded with a waive as i locked his bike at school the boy was obviously older what d he call you i asked that s my nickname dad he said they call me fancy pants here that boy there started it hey fancy another kid called out half running in the same direction also older while we walked toward the place where the bug assembles with his class i heard someone say hey mister fancy pants but i didn t see who said it cuz there were so many kids everywhere but it was a boy s voice seems the school has a computer lab where kids learn basic computer skills the bug said fancy pants is way harder than the stuff we do there they also have some high end gaming pcs at an after school daycare there along with a nintendo wii or was it an xbox mr fancy pants himself one of the girls who works there later told me about the bug aka mr fancy pants yeah he taught all the kids how to play does he play fancy pants too i asked the bug about the asian boy yeah is he good i asked he s okay but sometimes i have to help him seems the bug is teaching upperclassmen to play fancy pants and helping them when they get in trouble making a name for himself literally cracks me up tho here at the ranch he has moved on to a new game called chaos faction 2 very fast game totally kicks my butt he loves that game the neighbors can hear his cries of laughter delight hey dad he called out watch me rock his butt video games in the classroom speaking of games perhaps you ve heard about the experiment being conducted at a noncharter public school in new york city in manhattan near gramercy park the ny times published a series of articles recently on the use of video games in the classroom as a tool to help kids learn watch the video hear for yourself the kids parents saying how much better they enjoy school now see here learning by playing at the heart of the learning by playing model you ll find this quote not learning with games but rather problem based learning in which kids practice skills as they solve problems today our schools focus on facts and information but not problem solving thus many students cannot solve problems even when they can pass tests on facts and information and this one continue reading first month of kindergarten satan bean burritos western union ye olde rad blog v4 by rad on september 25 2010 9 25 am no comments no trackbacks to keep me from getting the big head wrote paul to the corinthians because of all these super cool things god has been doing for me there was given me a pain in the ss a messenger of the evil one himself sent to chew on my butt like an insatiable alligator the rad contemporary translation loosely paraphrased there was given me i m no apostle but i know that feeling it is not a feeling you get after a week or a month or even a year takes years to get there hope springs eternal to a point for years well meaning people have been telling me it s gonna get better to which i always reply i ve been hearing that for years if you keep reading you ll notice where paul himself the guy who wrote 2 3rds of the new testament seems frustrated where he wrote i repeatedly asked god to get this thing off me but he said resignation hungry gators now you can interpret that verse however you like and even reflect on the notion as nietzsche puts it that we are punished best for our virtues bg e 132 complete this sentence no good deed many different explanations exist as to what exactly god s response there means but you must admit it doesn t sound as cool as god saying i ll handle it for you my point is i ve reached a point after half a decade where i finally accept the fact that hungry gators are a part of my life and they really like the taste of my butt hear that chomping sound yeah that s my butt you hear an academic might term this feeling resignation an investor capitulation i m resigned to the fact that the feeling of incoming will never end not for good anyway so i might as well get used to it which unfortunately i have don t get me wrong the final outcome is always positive good things always follow bad so far so i no longer freak out like i used to but it s just so surprising how many dang alligators there are in the world and having your butt gnawed by a toothy reptile is never a very pleasant experience no matter how well you re able to spin the uncomfortable sensation the elusive bean burrito the bug loves bean n cheese burritos he even tried a little hot sauce this week at del taco they have 3 hot sauces mild the scorcher and the inferno guaranteed to torch your bvds after we finished splitting the first one he wanted a second but i only had 72 cents left so i broke out the plastic for a 99 cent burrito the girl swipes my card denied she says no way i said i got 20 bucks in there i checked just
