Get the nietzsche mug.A german philosopher and satirist who stood against the institutions of the church and state at a time when it was dangerous to do so.
His famous concept,"God is dead" is usually misreferenced as meaning he believed god truly was physically dead. In reality, he believed in a god, merely that man's relation to god, and the tools man used to relate to god were dead. In other words, he said the institution of the church has killed the god within man; man's faith in god.

The name Nieta is only given to two female children per decade.
The above is true for two reasons:
1: The baby at birth is recognizable as being perfect,
2: The baby at birth is recognizable as having honed and infallible skills at bullshitting her way out of any circumstance
Few such children are born in our times of Gene Pool Dilution.
Further, Nietas themselves are utterly unaware of their rarity.

Get the nietzsche mug.An absolute brilliant German philosopher that is often overlooked, overshadowed, underappreciated and/or completely misunderstood. He could deconstruct logical aspects of human concepts that would blow your mind. Even people like Albert Einstein or Rene Descartes would never win; in an argument against Nietzsche. At least, according to Nietzsche's train of thought and his natural strict logic composition; in regards to metaphysics.
Rene Descartes always focuses on "essence" and "truth"; while Nietzsche argues that essence and truth are not real and are only ideas or figments of illusions in our conscious minds. Nietzsche focuses on the subconscious; while Descartes focuses on the conscious mind. "I think, therefore I am."
Nietzsche: You do not "think"!!. You only "believe" that "you think". Your brain is an organ struggling for life, just like your heart, liver, kidneys and everything else!
Descartes: I do not understand what you are saying, Nietzsche!
Nietzsche: You have missed the big picture entirely and focused on the irrelevant, simple matters.
Descartes: I still don't think I hear you!
Nietzsche: Likewise.

Albert Einstein: Doing something over and over again and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity.
Friedrich Nietzsche: No it isn't, Einstein! Doing something over and over again is NOT insanity. The very fact that you use the aspect/essence of "insanity" contradicts the whole concept of: A HAPPENING. A happening is just exactly that: A HAPPENING. An indifferent, recurrent happening. And it will always function in our indifferent universe as: a happening. It is only human judgement and interpretation that: a happening; will be thought of as "insanity". Therefore, doing something over and over again and expecting a different result is NOT insanity. Only human minds can determine what doing something over and over again is. Conclusion: IT IS NEITHER "INSANITY" NOR "SANITY"! IT IS A HAPPENING!
Einstein, Descartes and Everbody else: WOW! MIND = BLOWN
