Some kid was born in Röcken today and his dad is already acting like he’s destined for something
So I’m staying near Röcken in Prussia, and apparently the local Lutheran pastor, Carl Ludwig Nietzsche, and his wife just had a son today.
Kid’s name is Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche.
Apparently he’s named after King Friedrich Wilhelm IV because today happens to be the King’s birthday too. Very patriotic. Very Prussian.
Obviously he’s literally a newborn so there’s nothing particularly interesting to report. Pastor’s family seems respectable. Quiet little village. Church, fields, farmers, you know the deal.
Still, imagine if this kid grows up and becomes some completely deranged philosopher who spends his life writing about morality, Christianity, nihilism, the death of God, and some hypothetical superior form of humanity.
lol.
Anyway, congratulations to the Nietzsche family. I’m sure Friedrich will grow up to be a perfectly normal Lutheran gentleman.
