Nietzsche described himself as poet at one point... Like "Most importantly the words sound nice and I come across as clever."
He probably wanted to be like Goethe who also uses all sorts of words to say how clever he is when he really isnt all that clever...
idk im tired and i like math better where you just approximately describe something, while it is clear what accuracy you have and what you dont know... (This is more in accordance with philosophy to me. Pythoagoras was probably considered a philosopher (rather than only mathematician) in ancient Greece as people weren't as specialized then, due to less overall people...)
