Nietzsche said something like "Homer would never had made an Achilles if he had been an Achilles." I think that's a better way of stating this sentiment.
Chase Johnson
Goebbels also said something like "the man of the future is a man of will power not of books and Jewish intellecutalism" or something like that at a book burning.

The fact that they created a worldview centered around the other and not the self shows their lack of Will.
Benjamin Wood
One chooses dialectics only when one has no other expedient. One knows that dialectics inspire mistrust, that they are not very convincing. Nothing is easier to expunge than the effect of a dialectician, as is proved by every-speech making assembly. Dialectics can only be a last ditch weapon in the hands of those who have no other weapon left. One must have to enforce one’s rights: otherwise one makes no use of it.
Dominic Foster
dialectics is is pretty specific term. Nietzsche was concerned with Socrates here
Cameron Rivera
Maybe though Nietzsche says dialectics aren't very convincing and a last ditch resort, I think he'd also say "men of action" don't resort to thinking like Pessoa does.

Brainlet here, explain please?

Sure, the third essay in the Genealogy is all about his thoughts on the ascetics
Kevin Evans
Introspection and the ascetic restraint needed for the Will to Truth are fundamentally life denying and sap the individual's vitality

DFW talks about it in one of the essays from consider the lobster about why sports biographies are so bad. It’s because they are all ghost written and the athlete doesn’t really talk much or explain what’s going on. They are focused on the action, not the thought of action. Part of training for a sport is to make things a habit, an automatic reaction, because the time it takes to think about whether you should hit the ball soft or hard is too much time to take an action. Someone who spends their time thinking is not taking action and men who take action do not think as much. Theory vs praxis.

Beautifully put.

Is he criticizing thinkers? Or is he merely stating a fact? Isn't the most basic advice given to us, " Think before you act"?
Eli Anderson
I think it's out of context
I've read Fernando pessoa the book of disquiet ( I'm Portuguese so I've read it in the original language)
>He is talking about women and how men thinks before talking to them, so he puts the man of action above the men who thinks before doing something
>And how men that thinks kinda drown in their own paranoias while the man of action just goes to a conclusion either it's satisfying or not to him.
Jackson Rodriguez
I think the saying "think before you act" is more about decision making and less about considering about actions in an abstract way. Even brute beasts make cost-benift analyses when faced with a dilemma
Jaxson Lopez
I really liked his book "Asleep While Awake".
James Garcia
>Only those who didn't think ever arrived at a conclusion
Ahh, much better.
