In this episode of 1Dime Radio, I am joined by Keegan Kjeldsen, aka essentialsalts/@untimelyreflections (host of The Nietzsche Podcast), to talk about the powerful complementary insights between Nietzsche and Machiavelli, as well as other thinkers such as Karl Marx and Ibn Khaldun. We also discuss the ways in which Nietzsche's work is often misunderstood, appropriated, or diluted by people on the right and left.
In The Backroom segment on Patreon, Keegan and I critique Jordan Peterson’s understanding of Nietzsche and the ways in which popular “Petersonian” YouTube channels such as “Academy of Ideas” and “Thoughts on Thinking” distort Nietzche. It was an exhilarating episode; you don't want to miss it!
