The Most Dangerous Idea in History: Nietzsche’s God is Dead, The Great Personalities

"God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him." In 1889, Friedrich Nietzsche collapsed in a public square while weeping over a horse. He never spoke a coherent word again. But the ideas he left behind—the Übermensch, Eternal Recurrence, and the Will to Power—would shatter the foundations of Western civilization.

In this deep-dive documentary, we explore the life of history's most misunderstood philosopher. From his strict religious upbringing as a "little pastor" to his explosive break with Richard Wagner, we trace Nietzsche's journey into the abyss.

Why does Nietzsche still matter? We break down how his sister, Elisabeth, twisted his writings to fuel the Nazi propaganda machine, and why the real Nietzsche actually despised German nationalism.

What you’ll learn in this video:

The Turin Collapse: The tragic true story of Nietzsche’s descent into madness.

The Death of God: Why this wasn’t a celebration, but a terrifying warning.

Slave vs. Master Morality: Nietzsche’s radical critique of Christianity and "herd" mentality.

The Übermensch: What it actually means to be an "Overman" (it's not what you think).

The Nazi Scandal: How his work was forged and manipulated after his death.

Nietzsche didn't want followers; he wanted "free spirits" who were brave enough to create their own meaning in a world without a safety net. Whether you see him as a nihilist or a liberator, you cannot ignore him.
