Kobe Zen Jedi Mindset philosophy

[charlie cho]

He's a philosopher. Simple minded fools may think he's reaching, but no. This man has experience. He has experience on failure and success. He understands it. He's not just speaking out of his head, he's speaking out of his bones. 

An aggressive robustness exists in many of his philosophies. Honestly, when you listen to Kobe, you cannot deny his philosophy is similar to Nietzsche. He may sound arrogant and self absorbed for simply going all out to actualize his own meaning, not others, but that is the whole point of the ubermench. Ubermench is defined to be one who learns about the world to the most extremes and actualizes his own meaning in the world. And a true ubermench will help others to be unique and different. He creates meaning for himself, and advises others to do the same, whichever it is. It can be playing basketball or being a good mother. It does not matter. A will to power. But in such intense drive, he is bound to experience the Zen of life. 

His aggression and robustness is derived from him playing basketball. It is like war. I would say chess players have a similar mindset. When you are in a perpetual state of war, you are bound to find Zen even in war. This is what Sun Tzu loved to emphasize in his book Art of War. He used to describe an outstanding general's troops as musical strings. There may be an extreme amount of order and strictness like the strings attached to the guitar, but just with those 4 strings it can create limitless amount of music. In chaos of war, he understands the importance of creativity in order. 

The first part of the video demonstrates whatever I said about him.
