>>20042195Great MartyrMade episode, showing the two roads of "the underground man."
One can find redemption as Dostoyevsky, or try and be your own God, resentful that life didn't work out for you, and go insane like Nietzsche; larping in your books about the powerful man you wish you could have been, then ending up going around patting people on the back asking them "how do you like my creation" in solipsistic delusions before totally losing it, crying while holding the neck of a horse as he had just read in Crime in Punishment.
“If you’re not reading Nietzsche at 20, you have no heart. But if you haven’t transitioned to Dostoevsky by 30…”

How can one talk to a man and not be happy in loving him! Oh, it's only that I'm not able to express it… And what beautiful things there are at every step, that even the most hopeless man must feel to be beautiful! Look at a child! Look at God's sunrise! Look at the grass, how it grows! Look at the eyes that gaze at you and love you!"
-- Fyodor Dostoevsky
