Look, I’m not spitting venom—I’m just observing. Honestly, I’ve just been rambling on this forum out of pure boredom; maybe I should have just stayed quiet. I don't even care about Nietzsche anymore.
I'm not trying to force any reading material on anyone (even if it actually relates to the topic), I'm simply pointing out where all my "brilliance" comes from.😬

What you're basically arguing is like saying Tesla should just forget his discoveries because he never had a wife or a girlfriend.
Go actually accomplish something meaningful first, settle down your inner animal, and then maybe we can talk about Nietzsche and philosophy.

See, even loving women isn't enough for you if you don't actually have one.

Eternal recurrence is everywhere; everything is just one big cycle.

🙂 So now we’re judging Tesla based on his romantic shortcomings? Look, Nietzsche is undeniably a genius—certainly more than I am—but he was still deluded despite himself. Jung thoroughly dismantled his positions. And besides, an animal doesn't just have one drive; that reproductive urge you're obsessing over is something Nietzsche himself glorified in those self-sustaining loops he got so deeply mired in.
I’m married🙂 and my wife is making dinner right now, but I will give you credit for being smart.
Nirvana is what finally breaks that cycle.
Read "Philosophia perennis" by Chuck Schumer—or maybe look up Thich Nhat Hanh if you prefer.

Technically, you could just call it crap, but humanity will have to figure that out once it actually manages to exist.

Nietzsche is to the spirit what Tesla is to electricity.

The only thing truly superhuman is the Buddhist ideal of severing the will to live. An existence that finally grasps its own pathetic absurdity can choose to end itself, much like the concept of "eternal recurrence." The true expression of a self-aware will isn't the freedom to say "I want," but rather the freedom to say "I do NOT want." Because, let's face it, "truth is ugly." And the obvious purpose of life? Caring.
Nietzsche’s idealized instinct—which drives one toward life—isn't designed to serve the destruction of the will. But look, I'm not buying into that philosophy because I actually enjoy women; to quote the guru: "If you have ever said 'Yes!' to even a single joy, my friends, then you have said 'Yes!' to all the misery in the world." 🙂

Nietzsche really could have used a decent sex life—not to mention the syphilis eventually finished him off. It’s a shame, honestly, because he had such incredible potential for deep thought. His writing style is absolutely massive, even if his actual philosophy eventually buckled under the weight of a brain that simply couldn't take any more.
