  1. “Your own dreams and wishes and whatever, you will ruin them more than anything else. And you will tell yourself that you ruined them on purpose for a good reason, or you'll say that you'll figure out a way to put it on everything else but yourself. And so the idea of thinking of, well, as I'm starting off on this whole thing, I got a lot of work to do. And that's just the way it is. And I got to figure out what areas those are going to be. And so, you know, I thought, oh, yeah, if I think of original sin actually can be kind of a clever idea, but it's also just accepting that. We're all uniquely strange and unequal in our own ways, but we have to figure out how that fits in.”

  2. “Combination that makes you that gestalt part of yourself, what those things are and how you can use them, then you can work towards being that taking what that is and seeing if you can get to that point. Now, the likelihood is, no, maybe probably never. I mean, but we can never achieve godhood yet, religion is a constant striving and a look at a higher ideal concept, even if it's multiple gods or one god, it's still essentially all built around this concept. Like I like the idea of Catholics original sin, if you think of sin not as evil, but as missing the mark, the archer's term where it derives or even like in Spanish, you know, without. So as being, if you accept that you are imperfect, if you accept that you need to constantly strive even against yourself because you will figure out the best ways at which to submarine your own capabilities.”

  3. “There's certain things that are just not going to happen for me because it's not in my proclivity. I mean, I'm never going to be five foot tall and 120 pounds. Again, I guess. But I know, but as you get more in tune with who you are, as you start learning more about what unique things or at least what that...”

  4. “Deeply human. With Nietzsche, I feel like the concept of the Ubermensch. Is something built on authenticity as well, as Heidegger would say, like Dawesign, right? So when you are authentic and Heidegger being a follower of Nietzsche's and highly influenced by him, I think that the Ubermensch is an example of authenticity in that it isn't about. Trying to be anything that you cannot be or to go against who you are, but to actually understand that, accept that, and then work with what you can work with and create from your lump of clay that is you. Because I can't become”

  5. “The concept that you can just make them doesn't happen that way. And it's not based simply upon if you were, say, put through a genetic program and turned into a super soldier. That wouldn't make it. surface level and incorrect understanding of what ubermensch is. The Ubermensch is the idea of this kind of human that transcends all the weaker lower aspects of humans which were full of. But I also think that there's an element in Nietzsche's writing that suggests that it's not something you can even be in all the time. Like it's even a temporary state because it's not something that we're capable of maintaining.”

  6. “Definitely the Uber matches is huge to me because I see it as an extension of basically the religious concepts of God and higher ideals, but just put into a different secular context. And the idea also that the Ubermensch is striving and overcoming something that you're always working towards that very few will ever It's not like the”

  7. “All right. I had an interesting philosophical journey. At least I think it's interesting. And that was. Think as far as organized philosophy or maybe authentic is not the right word, but like, yeah, we'll say organized. I would say that Nietzsche is probably one of the people with the most influence on me. But I also feel like to a degree your personality will oftentimes dictate what philosophers that you can vibe with.”
