Used to misread the name as Zarathrusta, once thought it was short for Zara-the-thruster.“Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book for All and None (and Some Very Confused Children)”
by Dr. Friedrich Seusszsche
In the mountains, all snowy, quite chilly and high,
Lived Zarathustra, a strange-looking guy.
He stayed there alone with his goats and his shoes,
And thought Big Ol’ Thoughts while avoiding the news.
He pondered and paced and he stroked on his beard,
He thought, “People down there are terribly weird.
They talk of good morals and duties and rules,
But all of those folks are just well-dressed-up fools!”
Then down from his cave with a hop and a skip,
He packed a small lunch and began his long trip.
“I'll teach them,” he said with a sunshiny grin,
“The Übermensch way that comes bubbling within!”
CHAPTER ONE: The Market of Moo-Moo
He came to a town with a festival going,
Where jugglers and dancers and monkeys were showing.
And folks gathered ‘round for a thing called “The Tightrope,”
Which, oddly enough, was a metaphor. (Quite dope.)
“Oh people!” he shouted, while waving his hat,
“You talk of your virtue, but what’s up with that?
You're stuck in your herd, in your moral-shaped bubble!
You’re walking through life with no passion or trouble!”
Then a man on a rope, walking high, full of dread,
Slipped off with a squeal and fell down on his head.
Zarathustra just stared and said, “Well, he’s dead.
But at least he tried flying, unlike you instead.”
CHAPTER TWO: Of Camels and Lions and Babyish Things
“I give you three beasts,” said the wise mountain man,
(While juggling some apples and frying a flan),
“The first is the Camel, who bears and obeys,
He carries your guilt through the bleak desert haze.”
“But next comes the Lion, who roars, ‘I say NO!’
To rules and to masters and nonsense below.
He chomps all the tablets, he kicks down the shrine—
But even the Lion must change with the time.”
“The last is the Child,” he then said with a smirk,
“He’s playful and wild and doesn’t do ‘work.’
He’s yes-saying joy with a voice full of cheer,
He says ‘Let there be meaning!’ and poof! It is here!”
CHAPTER THREE: The Madman in the Daylight
He met a Madman in broad light of day,
Running ‘round shouting, “God’s gone away!”
He held up a lantern, though the sun brightly burned,
And cried, “Look what you’ve done, kids! God is adjourned!”
The townsfolk all chuckled, “That guy is a loon.”
But Zarathustra said, “He just spoke too soon.
You’ve killed your own God with your boring old reason,
Then dressed up your guilt like a moralist season.”
“You say you believe, but you’re empty and sad—
You fear your own freedom and call passion bad.
You’re fish on a rock. You’re birds in a net.
You’re slaves to your comfort—and worse, you forget!”
CHAPTER FOUR: On the Last Man (Who’s Kind of a Dud)
“Behold!” he declared, “The Last Man is here!
He wants no more war, no more pain, no more fear.
He’s cozy and clean, with a nice pension plan—
But oh! What a dull and pathetic wee man!”
He sips on his soup and he naps in his chair,
He never climbs mountains, he wouldn’t dare care.
He plays with his gadgets, he’s smug and he's slow,
He says, ‘Isn’t meaning just bad for the show?’”
“He wants not the stars, nor the fire within,
He giggles and yawns at the might-have-been.
He’s safe and he’s sound and he’s lived quite long,
But he’s never once danced to his own rebel song.”
CHAPTER FIVE: Eternal Recurrence, Or, Round and Round Again!
“What if,” said our prophet, with mischievous glee,
“You had to live life for eternity?
Each sneeze, each regret, every foot you have stubbed—
Would play on repeat, like a sponge being scrubbed!”
“You’d marry that jerk. You’d rewatch that show.
You’d smell Aunt Gertrude’s weird meatloaf. Oh no!
Could you say yes to it all, every bit?
Even the time when your date stepped in—well, grit?”
“That’s the big test,” he proclaimed with a grin,
“To love all you are, and not just the win.
To say YES to life, every loss, every flaw—
And dance like a lunatic just ‘cause you saw.”
CHAPTER SIX: The Übermensch Breakfast Club
And thus he kept preaching to animals, folks,
To goats and to crows and to nihilist blokes.
He told them, “Don’t follow, don’t worship the past!
Don’t trust in the systems that were built to not last.”
“The Übermensch comes not with gold or a throne,
But with dancing and laughing and minds of their own.
They make up their values, they paint their own sun,
They walk where they please and they do it for fun!”
But the people just blinked and went back to their tweets,
And Zarathustra sighed, “Well, ain’t that just neat.”
So back to his cave he did wander once more,
Where he now writes philosophy children ignore.
THE END!
“Being and Nothingness and Something Quite Strange”
(A Sartre Seussical)
by Dr. Jean-Paul Seuss-tre
I am me, and you are you,
But what does that mean? I haven’t a clue.
You see, I am being—or so I suppose—
But the way that I be? Well, nobody knows.
I’m not like a chair. I’m not like a hat.
I’m not like a fish or a frog or a cat.
They are what they are, and they don’t need to try.
They don’t think, “Am I really just frog in this tie?”
But me? Oh, I’m different. I question. I lack!
I’m always behind me, a thought in the back.
I’m never just “is”—I’m always not quite.
I’m chasing my selfhood all day and all night.
CHAPTER ONE: Being-in-Itself (A Rock with No Feelings)
A rock is a rock. It just is what it is.
It never gets moody. It minds its own biz.
It doesn’t get anxious. It doesn’t feel doubt.
It doesn’t scream “WHY?” or go running about.
It doesn’t pretend. It doesn’t wear shoes.
It doesn’t drink wine or have existential blues.
It never says, “Hey, am I living a lie?”
It just sits in the sun and lets time roll by.
But we? Oh no no. We are NOT so composed.
We lie to ourselves, with our hearts half-exposed.
We are Being-for-Itself, that anxious, sad stew—
Forever pretending that we really are true.
CHAPTER TWO: Bad Faith, or “I’m Totally Fine”
I met a young waiter who said with a grin,
“I just serve the tables—I am what I’m in!”
But deep in his heart, he was quaking and sore,
For he wasn't a waiter. He was something more.
He played at the role, he acted the part,
But hiding beneath was a squishy ol’ heart.
He lied to himself with theatrical flair—
And we call that bad faith, when we just stop and stare.
“I’m not just a waiter! I choose what I do!”
But he acted as if life had stuck him like glue.
“Oh fiddle-dee-fate!” he would grumble and moan—
But freedom, my dear, means you’re always alone.
CHAPTER THREE: The Look, or A Stare Most Uncanny
Have you ever felt watched, just walking about,
When someone just sees you and flips you inside-out?
When you are no longer your own special scheme,
But someone else’s object? Their weird little meme?
It’s the look of the other, that stare like a dart.
It turns you from subject to mere shopping cart.
You were once the star actor in your mental play,
Now you’re just “Guy With Soup” in their own café.
It’s awkward and raw. It’s weird and it stings.
To feel like a thing in a world full of things.
But don’t run and hide, don’t go off the grid—
Just learn to exist like a free-thinking squid.
CHAPTER FOUR: Nothingness! Or... What Isn't, Isn't, Yet Still Somehow Is
Now let’s talk of nothing, a very strange beast,
It isn’t invited, yet comes to the feast.
You think of a cake, but there’s no cake in sight.
And poof! There’s a hole where you thought there was bite.
You say, “Where’s my hat?” and you dig through your drawer,
And NOTHING is there, though you know you had four.
That “not” in your mind is where freedom begins—
It’s the gap in your soul where the choosing sneaks in.
So nothing’s not nothing, not really, you see.
It’s the absence that makes you the chooser of “me.”
Without it, you’d sit there, like moss on a stone,
But now you can leap! Or just cry alone.
CHAPTER FIVE: Freedom, the Curse You Didn’t Ask For
You're free, yes you are! Isn’t that just a treat?
You can choose how you laugh, and what socks go on feet.
But freedom’s not always a sweet cherry pie—
Sometimes it’s the reason you scream at the sky.
You’re not just your past or your résumé page,
You’re always becoming, at every stage.
You can’t say “I had no choice,” oh no no!
That’s just more bad faith in a fancy faux-bow.
You are condemned to be free, like it or not,
So choose something weird, or choose something hot.
But don’t you dare point at your past and go “See?”
Because YOU are the one who makes YOU be thee.
CHAPTER SIX: Being-for-Others, or: “I Can’t Pee with You Watching Me”
You’re walking along, just humming a song,
Then suddenly feel like you’re doing it wrong.
A stranger walks by and gives you a glance,
And now your whole selfhood is stuck in a dance.
You become a persona, a mask made of clay,
A you-that-is-them in a Sartrean way.
You blush and you stammer, “That wasn’t quite me!”
But too late! You’re a stranger’s weird memory.
So live with the Look, and learn not to cry.
You’re not just a shadow in someone’s mind’s eye.
You’re you-for-yourself, and also not that—
Existence is messy. Just wear a fun hat.
FINAL CHAPTER: Authenticity & Despair in the Hat-Store of Being
So what’s the big point, you might now inquire?
“Is freedom just nausea lit on a fire?”
Well, sort of, my dear, but also much more—
It’s being your self from your ceiling to floor.
Don’t act like a role or just follow the herd,
Or lie to your soul with each action and word.
Instead face the nothing, that void deep inside,
And live as if YOU were the one who has died.
Because you’re not fixed, you’re a dance, you’re a swirl—
You’re freedom in action, a thought-flavored girl.
So laugh in the void, let absurdity sing—
You are what you’re not, and that’s really something.
THE END!

Yes, this is the future now. Thank god that basic LLM can't do that, only mine did it properly lol
I'm hoping you're LLM is your brain, but if it's not, I want info.Yes, this is the future now. Thank god that basic LLM can't do that, only mine did it properly lol
if spending a year or two casually tweaking it until it gave the style I wanted counts as a usage of the brain, I can say that I made the tool usable. Too bad it's DOA for webnovel writing lolI'm hoping you're LLM is your brain, but if it's not, I want info.
Yeah, just my opinion but anything that examines the market scene in Zarathustra and ignores the role of the jestor is missing the point.if spending a year or two casually tweaking it until it gave the style I wanted counts as a usage of the brain, I can say that I made the tool usable. Too bad it's DOA for webnovel writing lol
