1/ I’m vacationing w friends so was unable to watch more than five minutes of this video. Unfortunate, because Keith is an excellent speaker and typically has interesting things to say. However he seems to commit a few errors at the head of this video that doubtlessly influence https://twitter.com/KeithWoodsYT/status/1305136478427676672

2/ the remainder. It’s actually incorrect to view Nietzsche as a moral relativist. Rather it’s clearer to understand him as a proponent of a Master morality versus a slave morality. True, as a pagan, Nietzsche understood that there are “different truths” emerging from different

3/perspectives or interests. A Christian might call these other perspectives falsehoods or demonic but he wouldn't deny their existence. Also the promotion of beauty as an ideal finds no necessary origin In Christianity. In fact Christianity is more concerned with a hidden spirit

4/ world than an idolatrous “earthly” beauty. Nor do liberal ideas like natural law derive in their origin from Christianity.
Neither of course does “divinity.” Nietzsche sacralized Rome hence his work is not bereft of the “divine.” There the Romans considered

5/ Christianity superstitious and atheistic. Likewise to characterize him as liberal is incorrect. There are two challenges to understanding Nietzsche. His views develop and refine over his life and some of his writing appears “tactically” cryptic and requires a close reading.

6/ Keith assumes “modernism” a problem but in truth it’s a mixed bag. The Enlightenment and the periods that followed saw the unprecedented growth and success of the White race and astonishing developments in science. Science shouldn’t (& is incapable of) providing direction

7/ but it isn’t itself an evil. And, it is my understanding, this is a view Nietzsche would agree with. Nor should science affect any understanding of the divine. For example there is no sense Roman engineering or natural sciences in Greece disrupted their sense of the divine.

8/In any case, a much stronger case can be made for Christ as “liberal.” See Galatians 3:28, Matthew 3:38, Matthew 5:44 for examples. Nietzsche correctly characterized Christianity as a slave morality much as we might characterize today’s liberalism or multiculturalism. Keith’s

concern with an emphasis on power is itself a liberal sentiment as well as a Christian sentiment that venerates the sheep or lamb highest.
