@Jammu @whatonly Yeah I get it but this was just an indicative example in case I don't remember a scholar but remember his views.@whatonly this statement has been made by Nietzsche I don't think no one knows about him and this was a criticism against his justification of philosopher king.

Whoops, I did not know that. I searched for that quote earlier but couldn’t find it. Could you post the full quote or the source if you have it?

And yeah, since Nietzsche obviously will carry weight, it seems good to go :)

I don't remember reading this either. But then, Nietzsche did straight up call Plato a "bore" :P XD

Seriously though, I think he might have criticized Plato, for Plato differentiated b/w experienced reality (forms) and actual reality but for Nietzsche true reality is whatever is experienced. 

Still, quoting him out of context, might not be worth it.

@Jammu Can't say about Karl Popper. I don't have PSIR optional. A physics guy here.

It's just that I am fascinated by the ideas and works of Nietzsche a lot. So I tend to kill a lot of time by listening podcasts and reading blogs about his works. I haven't ever come across Nietzsche's statement on Plato and Fascism. 

Bertrand Russell's statement, on the other hand, is given in Subbarao itself.

Nietzsche always looks uber cool on the surface.  Reddit always jokes about how woke teens and edge lords on the Internet get carried away by Nietzsche :P 

In one of his books Ecco Homo, he has written chapters on himself titled “why I am so wise”, “why I write such good books” and “why I am destiny”. So taking that into account, Nietzsche might just be the first ever troller in philosophy, and for that he has my utmost respect :P XD
