Some regard Nietzsche as kind of crazy. For others he has an intellectual appeal.
I think that Nietzsche wanted to tear down all the old institutions and morals. He is kind of the opposite of Jordan Peterson who says that we need some sort of moral base to function as a society. Jordan Peterson seems less concerned about whether or not religion is actually true than he is about what religion means to us as a society.
One thing I found interesting in the video is the notion that all structures are eventually replaced by something completely different. This is kind of scary thought. This is what the Marxists want. We don't know what will eventually replace Western values, but it seems likely whatever it ends up being could be much more authoritarian.
