I agree that we should question old moral values and reassess them constantly, that's basically what normative ethics is doing, so i agree with neitszche on that point.

Nietzsche thought everything that wasn't isolating oneself in the mountains was taking refuge from the harshness of reality. In all seriousness I am a bit surprised that socratic philosophy would fall into that category though. His biggest problems were with Christianity and drinking alcohol.

I have a new crush too. Asia Argento. I want to go to Rome and eat great pasta and have a late night walk through the city with her. I don't think she has surpassed Marion it is just another fancy. No wonder they put these women in movies to sell tickets. That is quite a gift no?

There's no reason why you can't eat at maintenance and hit the gym 3 days a week. You'll be doing body recomp; you'll see a huge difference in a few months time. Eating at a surplus only matters for intermediate and advanced lifters. Yeah, I know. I just loved to eat at surplus and go crazy in the gym. I am hardwired that that is what is done. Especially when I was powerlifting. I think if I go in there for a mix of feel good and reasonable improvements in functional strength/well-being with some aesthetics I could be ok. I just have Ray Cronise in my head saying starve myself on a WFPB diet before I get involved in anything at the gym. It is like I have Jim Wendler and Dave Tate in one ear and Ray Cronise in another.

Yeah, I did the weight loss thing before training too. I also started off by doing the surplus thing and I ended up not liking my physique at all. I wouldn't recommend it. I ballooned from 150 to 170 very very quickly. You can come to a compromise by doing Leangains/intermittent fasting stuff while training.

For inspiration, this guy has a pretty solid channel and does intermittent fasting/mostly bodyweight training: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpyhJZhJQWKDdJCR07jPY-Q

This guy is also very inspirational but focuses on Olympic lifting/power lifting: https://www.youtube.com/user/clarence0

Both really cool vegan dudes.

Nietzsche was just very critical of everyone who didn't fully embrace life (as will to power). The Socratic tradition valued reason, prudence and purity and elevated them above emotions and instincts. Nietzsche thought this was a form of life negation and sickness. This is what the Apollonian and Dionysian concept/dialetic is about. N sought to revive the spirit and appealed to/praised the Greek God Dionysus, while opposing Apollo:

To further the split, Nietzsche diagnoses the Socratic Dialectic as being diseased in the manner that it deals with looking at life. The scholarly dialectic is directly opposed to the concept of the Dionysian because it only seeks to negate life; it uses reason to always deflect, but never to create. Socrates rejects the intrinsic value of the senses and life for "higher" ideals. Nietzsche claims in The Gay Science that when Socrates drinks the hemlock, he sees the hemlock as the cure for life, proclaiming that he has been sick a long time. (Section 340.) In contrast, the Dionysian existence constantly seeks to affirm life. Whether in pain or pleasure, suffering or joy, the intoxicating revelry that Dionysus has for life itself overcomes the Socratic sickness and perpetuates the growth and flourishing of visceral life force—a great Dionysian 'Yes', to a Socratic 'No'.

they definately can be used succesfully, however it is so easy to go over the edge with this.
And also 2 or 3 MDMA before a party? What kinda pills do you have? if i take 2 or 3 before a party then i wouldnt even get in i think. ranges here mostly from 150 / 200 mg / i like the 200 mg ones.

Also if having a too strict diet does not motivate you, try If you fit your macro´s. Download the app myfitnesspal and just fill in everything you eat.
Just make sure you notice your carbs, proteine and fat.

Did not read every part though, no offence ment if this is completely off topic.

IIFYM is what uneducated and vain people tend to do because they don't give a crap about their health and just want to look a certain way. Sure, it works, but it's the epitome of having your priorities wrong. It's also not the best way to go about avoiding a strict diet because you're still restricting yourself due to the high calorie density of the crap foods you eat. Less volume of food means less satiation. It's far better to eat a lot volume wise because you're mostly eating low calorie density foods.
