Nietzsche: The God of Groundhog Day

By Michael Faust

Is Groundhog Day the greatest philosophical movie of all time? Under the rom-com exterior, this seminal film touches on Nietzsche's eternal recurrence, Camus' Myth of Sisyphus, and the possibility of becoming a Superman and even God. It's a supreme lesson for life.

Is the publishing industry dominated by people of a certain Myers-Briggs type, and does that mean that anyone who doesn't belong to this type doesn't have a prayer of being commissioned? Are certain sections of the population being denied the sorts of books they would like to read because the books they enjoy aren't rated by commissioning editors who share a narrow set of tastes?

Is the human race destined to be always stupid?

This is one of a series of books by the Pythagorean Illuminati.

Michael Faust

Michael Faust invites you to explore the divine order, with its most astonishing secret - that you are part of it. You always have been. But you have forgotten. That's the nature of the created world - to make us forget that we are all the Creators. Isn't it time to remember who you truly are?
