we don't know why nietzsche went mad. some people speculated syphillis in his day. we think now maybe it was not madness but a stroke (he had several). to say that his thoughts caused madness sounds very poetic but is such a stretch. nietzsche's thought is in fact very healing for people tormented by ghost cults. his philosophy
does work.

i'm an oaf and i could never enjoy zarathustra. my favorite of his books, the one that split my skull open for good, was "beyond good and evil." for that book i owe him my life.
