Feb 28, 2022 at 13:40 comment added Philip Klöcking @Michael Related, maybe, but not the same imho. I do not think that N himself would have subscribed to that idea, nor that it is meant here. 89 is about shunning traumatised people so that you are not traumatised by them sharing their experiences with you, in a way (looking into the abyss etc.). And 90 could be read as the limited ability of depressed people to show empathy for anything other than deep depression.

Feb 28, 2022 at 10:00 comment added Philip Klöcking @JoWehler I suspect that that we should understand it as a damaging of the soul by terrible (more literally dreadful) experiences. Fürchterlich should not be understood as a moral judgement in the sense of "bad person" here. That would obviously be wrong considering the very title of the book. Rather as 'bad person to hang around with' like in not exactly pleasant company, producing more dreadful experiences for others.
Feb 28, 2022 at 9:35 comment added Jo Wehler @Philipp Klöcking Do you understand why Nietzsche could be right? Why is a person a terrible person if he/she makes a terrible (= fürchterlich) experience?
