Part I.
Dr Zaius: “I have always known about man. From the evidence, I believe his wisdom must walk hand and hand with his idiocy. His emotions must rule his brain. He must be a warlike creature who gives battle to everything around him, even himself.”
Nietzsche: “Man is a rope stretched across the abyss.â€Â
Dr Zaius:
Dr Zaius: “But he is pithy, I’ll give him that much.”

Part II.
Dr Zaius: “There is no contradiction between faith and science… true science!”
Nietzsche: “A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything. At times one remains faithful to a cause only because its opponents do not cease to be insipid.”
Dr Zaius: “Piffle. You know, all my life I’ve awaited your coming and dreaded it.”
Nietzsche:: “You and Kierkegaard both, pal.”
Nietzsche:: “Now then. TAKE YOUR STINKING PAWS OFF ME, YOU DAMNED DIRTY APE!
Lucius: Hmmph. Adults…
Nova:
Soylent Green is people, it’s PEEEEEEEEPUUULLLLL!!
Sorry, wrong movie.
I’m anti-totalizing Jeff’s totalization of Nietzsche’s totality.
I’ve some ringing in the ears, who out there is telling me to shut-up?
So, when is Dr. Zaius going to argue with John Merrick about who is, in fact, not an animal?
TAKE YOUR STINKING PAWS OFF ME, YOU DAMNED DIRTY APE!
Ah ha! The not-so-subtle racist code-words rear their ugly head.
Dr Zaius: “But that Nova… Nice rack.â€Â
Waiter!
There’s a Goldstein post in my Collins-blog!

I keed. I keed.
SRettig – Nikki Nova ?!
Thus Spake Goldsteinthustra.
Her too!
I meant to say (cue Ferris Bueller soundtrack) Ooooooooohhh yeah.
It’s too late to get Chuck to play Nietzsche. Shatner says he’s interested, though.

I love you Doctor Zaius!
I only saw the one with Marky-Mark in it. What are we talking about?
All’s I know is those monkeys could ride horses.
I bet Nietzsche couldn’t even ride a horse.
Probably talked to them though.
Incessantly.
Zaius is an Uber-orang.
I wonder if he knows Chimpy BusHitlerBurton-McSame?
Neither of them sound like they have helpful back to school tips for families with dogs. They’d probably just make stuff up if you asked them, and it might not be very good advice really. Or maybe good advice just not very pragmatic.
“Neither of them sound like they have helpful back to school tips for families with dogs.”
I dunno.
Dr. Zaius had a wicked ‘Trapper Keeper’ to organize all his science stuff AND an Evel Knievel Lunch Box.
With a thermos.
I don’t know if he had a dog though.
>>Or maybe good advice just not very pragmatic.
Nietzsche would give some awful advice. Esp. about toilet training.
Heh. I’d be inclined to say intent counts but intentionalism’s already taken.
At times one remains faithful to a cause only because its opponents do not cease to be insipid.
That isn’t remaining faithful to cause because you believe in it; that’s only holding to the cause because you dislike the other guy. Auto-contrarianism for its own sake. Sounds a lot like what children do.
Rather silly, if you ask me (and I know you didn’t).
I think a job teaching junior high would have done Herr Nietzsche a lot of good.
Nietzsche: Ape is Dead.
Dr Zaius: Piss off.
I think a job teaching junior high would have made Nietzsche more batshit crazy than he already was.
Oh, and the “rework” of “Planet of the Apes” was just as stupid as the original was.
Even as kid, I could tell that “Dem ain’t no real apes!”
Uh-oh! I think I’ve stepped in it now…
TLD, him and his students’ parents.
You can soooo tell it’s a suit.
Yeah, TLD. Think of the entertainment value! Nietzsche trying to discover who shot that rubber band (for example); having to chaperone the dance.
That man would’ve had a massive target on his back. Which would have improved him through the tempering fire – or caused him to gas himself, so either way a win.
Ah, Jeff is really back.
But what about Hegel?
“Or maybe good advice just not very pragmatic.”
Despite the embarrassment, laughing out loud at a computer screen does have its good points.
If Nietzsche taught Junior High, the principal would be dead within the month.
I don’t think Hegel is back yet. He may be stuck in traffic.
God I love this place. That was ME thor, although I only thought it. Your reading of my intent may vary.
I just want to hear Nietzsche do the voice-over for the Budweiser “Real Monkeys of Genius” commercial.
Let’s throw a few Monkeys of Genious into the dialectic and see if they can break up the traffic impairing Hegel’s progress. They may do a decent rework of Shakespeare, incidentally, and it may just be less than acccidental.
That made me laugh incredibly hard.
It does make me wonder though if you had an infinite amount of Nietzsches locking in a room with an infinte number of computers would they be able to reporduce the work of Kierkegaard or would they just play soccer, look at porn and drink German beer?
They’d just sit around reading Ãœbermensch comic books.
Due to ill health, Charlton Heston will be replaced in the feature film by Joe Biden.
OMFG where have I landed, I’m laughing
