Impressive pace lol, i’ve also been trying to read more over the summer, philosophy specifically, especially Nietzsche.

Nothing wrong with Nietzsche, but a LOT of his stances get taken out of context and misquoted. It's important to remember that Germany didn't even exist as a nation until he was already an established adult. A lot of Nietzsche readers tend to try and apply his perspectives in worlds he wasn't talking about.

There's a common consensus that Nietzsche readers can appreciate translating directly into Ayn Rand. I don't think this is a fair jump as it relies on assuming way too many of his beliefs to bridge these logical gaps. I have a very firm belief that Kierkegaard is, despite popular belief, not oppositional to Nietzsche and a great exploration into parallel arguments. Leaps of faith can exist within his nihilism framework
