16. Nietzsche’s proof you have no soul - and why that's a good thing
What if your precious soul was just superstition?
What if your thoughts, feelings, and identity weren’t the whispers of a divine spirit, but the murmurs of your gut, your glands, your genes?
In this episode of Will to Joy, we dissect Nietzsche’s radical physio-psychology—his claim that you are your body and nothing more, period. Join me for a guided meditation exercise as we vivisect the soul, dissolve the illusion of mind-body dualism, and expose the raw, physiological mechanics behind your so-called “free will.” No gods, no ghosts—just flesh, force, and instinct.
If you think you’re in control, think again. Nietzsche’s scalpel is sharp, and by the end of this episode, you may find there’s nothing left of “you” at all.
