Nietzsche: The God of Groundhog Day
Is Groundhog Day the greatest philosophical movie of all time? It examines Nietzsche's eternal recurrence, Camus' Myth of Sisyphus, and the possibility of becoming a Superman and god. Did Hegel think he was God? Did Nietzsche's atheism disguise a pious Lutheran spirit? What is the basis of our love of music? Was the Soviet Union planning to invade Germany prior to Operation Barbarossa? What are the implications of building a machine that gives us everything we want? Is narrative non-fiction a form of parasitism?
Do Novels have Personalities? How can a book be loved by some and hated by others? It gets us nowhere to simply dismiss this question as a matter of taste (whatever that may be). Is it in fact related to how are brains are wired, which may in turn be reflected to some extent by our Myers-Briggs personality classifications? Is the publishing industry dominated by people of a certain Myers-Briggs type, and does that mean that anyone who doesn't belong to this type doesn't have a prayer of being commissioned? And are certain sections of the population being denied the sorts of books they would like to read because the books they enjoy aren't rated by commissioning editors? Is the human race destined to be always stupid?
