Deadline Tonight

Why do brilliant thinkers often live sad, pathetic, and completely failed lives?

If you’re serious about thinking and writing, you better have a good answer to this question.

You see, in the past two months, we ran one seminar on Nietzsche’s Genealogy of Morals and two seminars on the Gospel of John.

Nietzsche was a complete and total loser, it’s really sad honestly, quite pathetic stuff just over and over again. By the end, he betrayed all of his own ideals…

So I organized these seminars back-to-back because I had a hunch about something…

After 30 hours of reading and note-taking, my hunch has now been confirmed beyond the shadow of a doubt.

And it’s hitting me like a ton of bricks.

So in Issue #3 of the new print letter—which will hit the post in a couple days—I’ll give you just the cream of my effort. Readable in one, relaxed, inspired sitting.

Like many 20-year-old men, I was captivated by Nietzsche. I immediately read all of his 8 or so greatest works, and—until recently—he’s been one of my greatest role models.

Revisiting his work carefully 18 years later, I’m absolutely stunned.

Nietzsche is obviously, demonstrably wrong about one crucial thing.

Yet I’ve never heard anyone talk about (with one exception, who I mention in the letter).

This one mistake explains why Nietzsche’s life was such a total failure. He was a young prodigy who enjoyed a perfect start to his adult life, yet he proceeded to ruin every single personal, romantic, and financial opportunity that would ever cross his desk.

What’s worse, he violated all of his own philosophical convictions and gradually descended into a resentful madness more ugly than anything he critiqued in his acerbic writings.

Why? How?!

Issue #3 of the new monthly print letter will answer this riddle, by clarifying one crucial aspect of Nietzsche’s philosophy.

And honestly, it’s very good news. The solution is not difficult.

Once I show you, you’ll never forget it.

The letter will be printed, sealed, and mailed to doorsteps in 16 countries around the world on Monday afternoon.

PS: Here’s what people are saying about the first two print letters:

“I loved the letter and cut out part of it. It’s taped to my fridge with a prayer… I also told my kids the story about the man that lived in a barrel because he didn’t have to kiss anyone’s ass to do so!”

“Dude I loved getting your most recent paper letter! There is something so magical about sitting down for 5 minutes with a piece of paper vs skimming yet another email newsletter.”
