This is exactly the kinda shit Nietzsche was referring to when he talked about humanity giving up our humanity to better serve machines instead of making machines that better serve humanity.

Aren't the nuts and bolts part of the machine?
Nietzsche and his whole philosophy are stupid, wrong, and ontologically evil. His whole philosophy is poorly reacting to the great ideas of Philipp Mainlanders “the philosophy of redemption”. Philip mainlander and Aruther Schopenhauer were correct in their philosophical pessimism and actual nihilism and nietzschian radical optimism is what motivates nearly all modern totalitarian, fascist, and authoritarian movements.
The only good thing nietzsche produced was the “Wall-E” movie from Pixar, which is a radically nietzschian film.
There's more to Nietzsche than "master and slave morality". I'm a big Nietzsche hater too but you're wrong to dismiss the rest of his work because of one part of it. He's incredibly influential in philosophy to this day, for good reason.
E.g. you can look into Deleuze's reading of his work, which focuses on the continuity from Spinoza and the analysis of ethics from a perspective of capabilities rather than obligations (as in the Kantian framing).
Or more directly, read about the idea of eternal recurrence, which I find to be an incredibly pro-, not anti-, human concept.
I dismissed him over his radical optimism. You claimed I dismissed him over master-slave morality. We are not the same. Also I’ve covet to cover read all of his work. Almost all of it is trash and ontologically bad.
You try to quote fashionable nonsense charlatan grifters like deleuze as though they are worth reading a single word of. Their works, the people who read them, and the entire field of critical theory are direct reasons for the rise of trump and right wing authoritarianism world wide.
Kill critical theory or its hateful children will kill us all
But instead you patronize me by acting like I don’t read. This mentality is why the world collectively hates leftists right now.
Haha you're going to be in strange company claiming to hate ""leftists"" and Nietzsche at the same time. Who, might I ask, do you consider "ontologically good"? Do you believe in a God that could provide such content, or is this just your own definition of what that entails? Ironically enough, between that and your seeming rejection of all prior moral philosophies, it sounds like you're operating quite in line with Nietzsche's actual recommendations -- which is far more than I could say about myself, given my rather more religious tendencies.

Rather quaint to be upset about this given the bucket of assumptions you yourself made in the comment above.
elaborate please?
