A philosophical novel by Friedrich Nietzsche written in the 19th century. In German it is titled: Also sprach Zarathustra. In English, it is also called "Thus Spoke Zarathustra".
Or, simplified: Therefore, >> he (Zarathustra) spoke of >> thee. (subject)
It is a book widely regarded as Nietzsche's best work.
The title name Thus Spake Zarathustra, is meant to be ironic and cynical, like morbid sarcasm; and is suggestive of the apprehensive atmosphere the book displays. It explains why Zarathustra turned himself into a Prophet, during an era where God is dead (metaphor) in order to quell and stop disorder and confusion in the Middle East.
Despite Nietzsche being a good person; It is a very dangerous book, that should only be read by mature and responsible individuals. (this is why Germany and Russia have attempted to ban books written by Nietzsche.)
Basically, it tells the story of a real Avestan (Aryan) prophet named Zoroaster who lived about 2,500 years ago; and whom started a religion (see: Zoroastrianism) in order to overthrow a malignant, illegitimate and dystopian Empire; (see: Babylon) and to help uproot it, in order to create a new social order. Essentially, Zoroaster (or Zarathustra) attempts to become a Nobleman and wise prophet among the populace; or more specifically, an Übermensch.

Thus Spake Zarathustra is a very good read. (whether you are Atheist or believer) Only the most intellectual of individuals are able to truly comprehend and understand it. Assholes and cowards despise and deride it; or are just too lazy or daft. The average individual may not understand the book. Many critics of Nietzsche disdainfully write it off as nonsense and drivel. The book is basically written in a fairy-tale storybook way, kind of like a poem or poetic prose. (similar to the gospel).
(Although asshole critics overlook and bash Nietzsche, he was actually doing perfectly fine in Mental health at the time, while he wrote the book. Nietzsche has a lot of controversy surrounding him; such as his subsequently deteriorating mental health. Which is what critics (without reading or understanding) overlook.)
Those who "get the book" therefore "understand". This is why Nietzsche proclaimed and entitled the book with the famous cautionary slogan: "A BOOK FOR EVERYONE AND FOR NO ONE."
(it could be said by some scholars, that mortal Zoroaster was the original Jesus.)
Ex. In Thus Spake Zarathustra; humble Zoroaster, minding the war, chaos and disorder that surrounds him; attempts to bring back order and self-responsibility to the people; and becomes an Übermensch, respite risking his own life.

The original religion of the founding fathers of the USA. Anton LaVey only organized it further and opened up the first Satanic church in 1966.
The founding fathers and writers of the Constitution were the first practitioners of what became later known as "LaVeyan Satanism". But, some corrupt/greedy British Federalist crooks decided to worm their way back in, and create fake institutions in this country and turned the USA into a police state governed by a fake Federal government, instead. (little known fact. lol)

The easiest and quickest excuse to get a Polish girlfriend. If you say that you're an American and she's free (single), Polish girl will be extremely friendly. Remember to talk in an American accent, and perfect it.
Polish girls cannot understand the fact that some American men are poor. They will always think American men are rich and smart. You can't convince them otherwise. In a weird, autistic way. (lol) They are so naive they consider alcoholism and fat American men to be a sign of "manliness". (A product of their isolation from Western society.)

Canadian guy: How do I get with an extremely good Trophy girl?
Englishman: Just talk to a Polish girl and fake that you're an American. Talk with an American accent. She'll think you're rich as shite.

Dear stalker; what makes ME so special anyway? Maybe you are just delusional. I really don't have anything to give to you.

A field of study of numbers and logic that is illogical. Mathematics contradicts itself. Yes, it does. Ain't it weird? It is seen as a study that is practical; but is actually impractical, considering it is a paradox.
Pythagoras was wrong when he said that Mathematics is an absolute. Mathematics is not an absolute - because only human beings use and recognize Mathematics. Mathematics is an abstract concept or explanation for a HAPPENING in the universe. It is not a universal law; either. It is only just a clever illusion. A language and pattern of logic invented by human beings. (that only seems to make sense - because WE invented it; to make sense of the external universe.)
German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche was good in discrediting the Greeks; and making them look pretty stupid. Mathematics is only an illusion. It is not an absolute; but more of an accusation or of something that is apparent. It explains how objects work or go together. (Kind of like in languages where Indo-European grammar syntax is Nominative-Accusative; while the Basque language grammar syntax is Ergative-Absolutive.)
(When you think about it; Mathematics is just as logical as Music is. Monkeys/Apes can be taught to play instruments, but they do not understand music. They are only doing what they are told by humans, so they get rewarded with a treat.)

There are plenty of easy logical explanations for Mathematics contradicting itself. Observe in nature:
While Mathematics may apply to the Universe; it does not apply to Biology, organisms or life-forms. Only inanimate objects or abstract concepts. Strange huh? This is the logical problem of Mathematics. (at least; the Western version of it.)
For example: 1+1=1 most the time; when two humans have children. Sometimes it will equal triplets (3 children) and so on. And one can easily see the examples in Cats and Dogs or even Chicken/Ducks and other animals; who usually have a litter of descendants.
(And, why can't other animals do Math? They can only be taught it by humans; or learn from experience/instinct. Just like music instrument.)
So, I ask you, reader - if Mathematics is logical; does that mean that Life/Biology is illogical? Or is it the other way around? (That is the question. Just like "What came first - the chicken or the egg?") If Mathematics is only illusion and not absolute; this means that Pythagoras was wrong. ) In contrast; this would possibly explain that Zeno of Elea was actually right.)
Mathematics is always 99.9% There is no such thing as 100%. (this is why like in DNA paternity tests; the father will always come out as 99.9999999999% etc. in relation to a baby, and never 100%)

American slang for something that seems cool or rad (that everyone in society loved); but was really degenerate, lame and cheesy. Especially if it was the 1980s. Something very ersatz and cheap, pretty much. (of inferior quality)
(a sign of a degenerating and degrading western world, perhaps)
Basically: Skemp is usually trying to appear tough or bombastic; but being very pretentious and lame. (upon delivery)
Kinda like schlocky, but more of a degenerate and sickening way.

New Kids on the Block were so Skempy. Those kids were faggots and pretty boy douches. The Beastie Boys pissed all over their faces.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers are so Skemp.
The 1980s were so skempy.
Valley Girls in California are skemp trash.
Barack Obama's America was so Skempy.
Savage Garden are so skemp.
etc.

Hip Hop culture/lingo for someone who is lame, untrendy/unfashionable and/or a dweeb. Similar to gump. A nerdy Hip Hop fanboy.
Originated in the American South. (Southern Hip Hop culture; Georgia)
The Skemp is also prone to be a very sleazy and immature person who holds grudges and won't let shit go.
