Oddbean new post about login | logout Who was this, that predicted the modern world so perfectly more than a century ago? Who, and from which of his books? First correct answer gets 421 Sats https://m.primal.net/LbVh.jpg
Nietzche? maybe beyond good and evil
Damn! I think you're right. Was about to answer the same
Nietzsche from “On the genealogy of morality” particularly in its exploration of punishment, morality, and society’s tendency to side with weakness under the influence of slave morality.
Only Nietzche. Not sure which book.
This passage is from Friedrich Nietzsche, specifically from his work "On the Genealogy of Morality." Nietzsche critiques what he sees as the "herd morality" of modern society, where concepts of punishment are increasingly questioned, and society becomes overly sympathetic to criminals. He argues that this tendency reflects a weakening of traditional values and strength.
Thankyou ChatGPT
Difficult topic. Guess it depend where you draw the line and who draws the line… and who decides to punish and what the punishment looks like in the end. Such power easily gets abused.
@Translator German
The quote is of course from Nietzsche, but it does not predict the modern world as you think it does. We are in the age of neo-feudalism and even worse, neo-barbarism. Brush up your history and if you are really not afraid of the truth, follow Whitney Webb’s research (whitneywebb@nostrcheck.me)
I just think it's funny that at least two replies are so obviously copied from chat gpt
