Nietzsche's Most Controversial Idea | Beyond Good and Evil

DISCLAIMER: This is an old video and my understanding of Nietzsche has moved on considerably since I put this out. Among other things I am unhappy with the treatment of ressentiment and the overly simplistic way I dealt with master and slave morality. Friedrich Nietzsche was in a constant state of revolutionising philosophy. It seems that every book he wrote was a new frontier for the field. But perhaps the most controversial idea he had was his genealogy of morality. So let's jump in and learn why goodness is not good, why the powerless control morality, and how we can embrace strength and competence in our own lives.
