Oh, haha, it was just a joke, because Nietzsche, the dude who said, “That which does not kill you makes you stronger,” had syphilis during his final years, and went crazy. He was a vegetable throughout the 1890’s. I wonder if he still agreed with his aphorism at the end. I wasn’t being serious, but thanks, mgus.
