And that's when he decided to become the Anti-Christ (writing a lot of long boring books that make teenagers more edgy).

Nietzsche accused Christianity of essentially being a religion to placate the weak, powerless masses. It told them that not only is their weakness a kind of moral superiority over those who oppressed them, but that they would receive their ultimate reward and their oppressors would be punished in the next life. He thought it was just appeasing their resentment over being powerless in this life.
Despite having sort of a philosopher of strength and empowerment, it's hard not to say that Nietzsche himself in his biography was bitter, weak, and resentful himself over his own lack of the ability to extend his will and influence and take action. In the long run, of course, he was massively influential, but at many points in his life he felt sickly, powerless, and weak.

No one wants to admit how many of the great revolutionaries of the past would be podcasters if they were alive today.

This is supposedly true?? It's on wikipedia at least which means it must be.

A lot of ancient philosophers died in pretty weird ways.
Like Empedocles who died jumping in a Volcano to prove that...uh, he was God or something?.
Or Pythagoras who died after being chased by soldiers and refusing to enter a field of beans, because then he would be reincarnated as bean. What is so bad about being a bean, anyway?
Or Heraclitus who died after burying himself in dung to cure himself of dropsy. Medicine was a little more primitive back then.
And then there is of course Chrysippus, who died of laughter after watching a donkey try to eat figs. Comedy was also more primitive back then, remember they didn't have YouTube.

Look all I'm saying is that if a riddle doesn't use exact scienfic language to demarcate one, and only one, answer then the answer must be that it is nonsense.

Carnap believed that an exact scientific language could be created in order to eliminate ambiguities and describe empirical facts precisely. He thought many problems of philosophy arose from our imprecise language, and would be resolved if we could create a language with questions and answers that had no ambiguity at all.

In Plato's Republic he said that you basically had to come up with national myths and a "lie" that would placate the uneducated population and make them do their duty to the city without really understanding why.
Separately, one consequence of Plato's theory of forms is that abstract concepts, such as numbers, "really" exist in some sense. So "the concept of the number six" exists in reality, in the world of forms.
