I know because he constantly literally tells you that it is. But it doesn't come off to me that way. Of course it could just be me projecting onto it, but the text itself contains an absolute ton of criticism and complaining about people, that's just objectively true. Seems very dishonest to spend decades complaining about stuff but be like "actually I don't even really care bro haha"

When I think of writing that feels light I think of someone like Novalis. Nietzsche feels like someone claiming they are carefree when they're not. It feels forced.
