What I like about Nietzsche is his writings come from a place of strength and courage rather than weakness and wishful thinking.
To be able to progress an idea to it's logical conclusion uninhibited.
His greatness and intellect (what I understood from the few things I gathered) came from the perspectives of when he was healthy and unhealthy.
What I found is that any mouth piece who explained his ideas dumbed them down to their level or down right butchered them as they are too disingenuous or shallow for something so honest and insightful.
