Nietzsche is saying that the artist’s voice does not originate from personal ego, but from something deeper and impersonal that speaks through them. In a modern world obsessed with self-expression and identity, this challenges the idea that art is about “me,” suggesting instead that true creation comes from surrendering the self to something greater.
In a superficial techno-generation, this “something greater” is mistakenly filtered through the self, reduced to personal identity rather than encountered as an impersonal force beyond the ego. Our subjective opinion of an objective reality is a mind’s understanding, completely. The world we see online is often nothing but a lie and we become fascinated with the delusion that we will become what we repeatedly see. Modern aesthetics has become a cosmetic excuse to manipulate ourselves into believing we can do whatever we see online, which doesn’t resonate with reality.
