| 1 | This trope was once called Nietzsche Wannabe because of the more [[LargeHam hammier]] versions of this trope resembling the German UsefulNotes/{{Existentialis|m}}t philosopher Creator/FriedrichNietzsche. The "straw" in the current title (and the "wannabe" in the old title) is because while Nietzsche was famous for his [[TheFatalist fatalism]], he discouraged {{wangst}}ing about it endlessly and [[TheAntiNihilist encouraged you to instead make the most out of it]]. Also, his goal was to ''prevent'' nihilism by making new values for people. ...Maybe. As with everything about Nietzsche, it's [[ShrugOfGod really unclear;]] as stated in [[Analysis/FriedrichNietzsche his own Analysis page]], many of his ideals are self-contradictory and pretty weird, so honestly ''any'' interpretation could be valid. |
