Awesome, that makes sense even though I've never even engaged in philosophy.

I was adding some philosophy to my list as Dr Peterson often talks about and recommends Nietzsche. But having tried Beyond Good and Evil, getting through about 50 pages before I had to stop, thinking "do I get this? no, no I don't get it at all", your explanation / breakdown of philosophy does make sense to me.

I'll seek out some popular or well received essays first then.
