“the most important fact about a given person for Nietzsche is which particular objects (or people) that person finds admirable, which disgusting, and why.” you’re the one i’ve experienced this in a particularly strong fashion with; my admiration for you is mediated through objects of admiration
ty for sharing yourself through curated means
idk how exactly to word it elegantly but you are opinionated (complimentary) yet still manage to find a way to connect with your recipient / create shared culture. it's an honor to be on the receiving end.

thats a really cool way to put it, i think that people's influences are like really significant and one of the more compelling ways to get familiar with someone

as evidenced by me 2am thinking “wow i’m in love” and funneling that energy into reciting the passage from heart, with largely plagiarized verbiage to boot

this is up there as possibly the most influential passage in my life, one of those things that i’ve thoroughly integrated into my approach to the world
nietzsche and morality, raymond geuss, pg. 186-187, in morality, culture and history

This position may seem counterintuitive because the strong impression many readers have is that one of Nietzsche's basic claims is that finally only power (in something like our everyday sense of that term) is truly admirable. I'm suggesting that when Nietzsche is at his most interesting he doesn't think that admiration is locked onto power (in the usual sense) as its object, and admiration is what is finally important for him (cf.
GM 1. 12). 'Will-to-power' is an empty, metaphysical concept.

Nietzsche and morality
Being vital, flourishing, being a 'higher specimen' means being able to inspire admiration. There seems also to be no single substantive trait which all higher specimens have in common by virtue of which they succeed in getting themselves admired; they are admired in different ways for different traits.
Admiration (Bewunderung) and its opposite, disgust (Ekel), are for Nietzsche two of the most powerful internal forces that move human beings (JGB §26; GM I. 11, HI. 24, II. 14 etc.).14 Both admiration and disgust in the first instance are elicited by and directed at concrete, individual objects, persons, or situa-tions, and what will be an object of admiration or of disgust varies from person to person and from time to time. In a sense the most important fact about a given person for Nietzsche is which particular objects (or people) that person finds admirable (at what time), and which disgusting, and why. There are no naturally or antecedently fixed criteria of what is worthy of admiration. It doesn't follow from this that no generalizations

i downloaded the audiobook i recorded for my flight and it just never stops hitting flight wifi isn’t good enough to grab the link for chat but 5:13:00ish is your friend :)


also should be clear that none of these are “new” thoughts, just sometimes i shift the level and focus of abstraction and then shift it back again

obviously i’m being imprecise here (particularly odd is the “instructor” framing) but cut me some slack this was another 2am wakeup
