You probably weren't expecting to find those three items together, but they are put there by my friend the philosopher Ken Gemes (Birkbeck/London) in this interesting talk. Note that the introduction is in German, but Gemes delivers the lecture in English. I think he gets one thing wrong about Nietzsche: the fundamental problem for human beings is to find a meaning for inevitable suffering, not to find a meaning simpliciter, as Gemes claims.
