Nietzsche's philosophy and criticism is based on the inferiority of other viewpoints, and he attacks three of the following grounds, epistemological, categorical, and metaphysical. These grounds are understood through free will and the transparency of free will. Free will is described by him to be an illusion because patterns and precursors determine what we will decide, so therefore it's not really free will. The issue with this is that Nietzsche finds free will problematic because it can be influenced by the surroundings or an event that serves as a precursor. We will never actually know what goes through people's mind when making a decision and their motives, and that is where transparency ties in. We never know someone's motives, so therefore we cannot deem their action to be moral and good, or immoral and bad. We cannot judge them because we do not have the ability to understand their thinking and what's going on inside their head.

Bad habits can arise from the fact that many positive attitudes do not focus on the work and struggle that many people face in order to be successful. The similarity thesis is that something relevant within all of is traditional, and it states some of us are fundamentally different.
Nietzsche's genealogy focuses on avoiding the state of nihilism, but also looking into how we reached this certain stage of morality. Nietzsche believes it is impossible for humans to legitimately support a nihilistic view, as nihilism holds no value because there is nothing that matters in the world. However, he holds Christianity/Egyptians and other religions responsible because of their belief in the afterlife. He believes their belief in the afterlife places no emphasis on the actual life on Earth. He believes this to be bad because it makes us think we need to act a certain way to reach the afterlife and our fate, so it prevents us from being truly who we are as people in the world. We do not extend our reach and don't use our creativity to the highest level, and he believes creativity to be an extremely powerful tool.
He then focuses on morality and discusses the "good and bad" along with "good and evil". He says the good and bad belief comes from the Roman empire where the upper class and those in power would claim to be go...
