Yes. Could.
But, honestly, after grad school and years of reflection, I find myself more drawn to Camus and Sartre.

On your first go, Nietzsche is great as a puzzle to play with, but once you've assembled all the pieces there's not much joy revisiting it.

Plus, he's now reduced to memes and hipster tattoos and the message is cheapened by it all.

Well there's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya 'bout the raising of the wrist....

I like Nietzsche and his views, I just do not like how it has been hijacked to back-up fascism and nazism. The Individual rules; groupthink sucks!

I'd be over my head in a hurry, but I will say I disagree with "That which does not kill us makes us stronger."

It could also be "that which does not kill me caused me to buy AR 15s and ammo and kill those I feel have ridiculed me."

Nietzsche spoke of the death of God - how can something die that isnt alive? Maybe he just meant the death of belief in God.

I love his thought experiments and have several of his books.

But the most intersting thing about him was his history with Lou Andreas Salome, a Russian psychoanalyst who charmed him, Freud, Rainer Maria Rilke and several others. She apparently rejected his marriage proposal and instead wanted to form an intellectual commune with her and Paul Ree. His sister got wind of this an started manipulating him away from her immoral ways. I see her as very progressive for her time and what I would consider, polyamorous, not immoral.

There is a photograph of her in a cart, whip in hand, with Nietzsche and Paul Ree pulling it in front. It's humorous to see this and makes me admire them all the more.

She did make an impact on his life and most likely his broken heart influenced his philosophy.

I have her biography of him but have yet to read it.

I have read Nietzsche and am quite fond of him as a philosopher, however be careful not to confuse his postumous work published by his sister with the books published and edited while he was alive.
Much of the former was rejected by the man himself as wrong and inferior work, but was edited and published anyway by his openly facist and frankly disgusting sister in order to exploit his memory without regard for his wishes.

The Three metamorphoses:

The Camel ....load bearer
"...which, when laden, hasteneth into the wilderness, so hasteneth the spirit into its wilderness."

We all have a 'wilderness' to confront which can lead to second metamorphoses

The Lion..self confidence and determination
" here the spirit becometh a lion; freedom will it capture, and lordship in its own wilderness.

Leads to a new begining

The Child...innocence and forgiving
"Innocence is the child, and forgetfulness, a new beginning, a game, a self-rolling wheel, a first movement, a holy Yea."

"Three metamorphoses of the spirit have I designated to you: how the spirit became a camel, the camel a lion, and the lion at last a child.—

Thus spake Zarathustra"

I think crazy stuff to eat but I have a special thing I like steak

Nothing is true unless observed by you.

Be wary of hunting monsters less you become one.

I have a few book, but unsure if I could "discuss at length". My favorite quotes are " Insanity in individuals is rare, but in groups, parties, nations, and epochs, it is the rule", and "The true man wants two things: danger and play. Therefore he wants woman as the most dangerous plaything".

Nietzsche? I have a working mans knowledge. Doubt that I could discuss at length. Would love tolearn more.

I have a couple of his books at home, however I've only read "Thus Spoke Zarathustra." I've read a bunch online as well.

Nietzsche is what first got me into philosophy and especially into existentialism.

Some of my favorite quotes come from him as well, such as "You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist."

This was my first profile picture on facebook. He had some interesting ideas for his time. I read several of his works online. Check out the attached reference.

Our western civilization is heavily indebted to him.

A favorite quote: "Hence the ways of men part: if you wish to strive for peace of soul and pleasure, then believe; if you wish to be a devotee of truth, then inquire.."
