Read Jung's Archetypes of the Collective Unconscious recently, def see how it rang some bells :)

Nihilism Wants Empire: Camus on Nietzsche

Incredible post. So many banger quotes and a lot to process. In particular:

> The other mistake Camus identifies is that Nietzsche placed his Overman as a "yet-to-be", something that would come in the future, thus betraying both his pre-Socratic influences and Jesus's teachings, which brought the "later" to the "here and now".

and

> The hardest work of filling the vacuum left by the death of God by building a foundation for new values and embodying them without going insane.

I've been reading a lot of Jungian psychology in recent years. To synthesize my  own interpretation from your report through that lens:
* The apocalypse is happening inside you.
* The true Ubermensch is one who rises to the challenges of inner life.
* The Kingdom of Heaven is already here for those that triumph of the inner nihilism of the mind.

Again, great post. Please continue to share!
