Many people ask about how to begin reading Nietzsche

There is no one right answer and in a sense one can begin anywhere, but here is one possible approach 🧵
Begin with R.J. Hollingdale's biography of Nietzsche, which gives a good overview of his life and thought. Hollingdale is also one of the best translators of Nietzsche

STOP HALFWAY THROUGH, before the Zarathustra chapter

From here, begin at the beginning, with The Birth of Tragedy. The Cambridge edition is good. If one prefers a cheaper edition, the Kaufmann translation is very readable

Caribbean Rhythms special DOUBLE episode 75&76, origin & meaning of g*y movement, lies of Foucault & fake classicists on ancient greks, underworld intrigue & more

Grab your bottled mineral water, here we go
Foucault claims hom0sexuals did not exist prior to 19th century because the word did not exist. In fact they always did. Something of their status in ancient grek kulcha can be known from Aeschines' Against Timarchus

The text shows that greks had an understanding of the terrible effects of sexual abuse on children, which was punishable by death & which they took pains to prevent such as outlawing teachers seeing students at night

A prime example of the left's fake approach to the body which BAP talks about in the latest Caribbean Rhythms has to be Deleuze & Guattari's ridiculous concept of the "Body Without Organs"

(thread 🧵)
These darlings of pomo, second only to Foucault, introduced the "body without organs" (BwO) in their 2-volume Capitalism & Schizophrenia. Their various convoluted mentions of it hint that it is some sort of liberated or liberatory state or potentiality
But just as their supposed critique of capitalism ends up functioning as a supreme justification of capitalism ("Desire is revolutionary!"), their silly BwO is an impracticable abstraction, a distraction for intellectuals to become lost in rather than a real program for health

Thomas Hobbes: the mass of mankind is dominated by the fear of death. This is especially apparent now as masses of people willingly subject themselves to every indignity and humiliation due to their fear of ***the \/irus*** Image
