"He has formed his mind on another's, and the imitative faculty is not itself productive. In other words, his knowledge has not in him arisen out of reason, and although, objectively considered, it is indeed knowledge due to reason, it is yet, in its subjective character, merely historical. He has grasped and kept; that is, he has learnt well, and is merely a plaster-cast of a living man." - Immanuel #Kant, #CritiqueOfPureReason #philosophy #philosophyquotes #criticalthinking #beyourself

"…One always finds one's burden again. But #Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile: Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night-filled mountain, in itself, forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy."
- Albert #Camus

When you want to teach children to think, you begin by treating them seriously when they are little, giving them responsibilities, talking to them candidly, providing privacy and solitude for them, and making them readers and thinkers of significant thoughts from the beginning. That's if you want to teach them to think.

“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.”

“Talent is insignificant. I know a lot of talented ruins. Beyond talent lie all the usual words: discipline, love, luck, but, most of all, endurance.”

- James Baldwin

When a philosopher fails to protect his ideas with a 360-degree view of solid arguments around a pet thesis, then misinterpretation is bound to happen.
I think this is exactly the case with Nietzsche; I don't think he wanted an immoral and unethical world:🦸‍♂️

Übermensch (Overman)
Will to Power
Amor Fati
Nihilism
