Interview someone – a friend, another blogger, your mother, the mailman – and write a post based on their responses.

The interview I conducted is a podcast interview, which takes place in an exceptionally unique environment; it’s in the realm between life and death.

I: Hello to all our listeners outside there, alive or dead. We find ourselves in the liminal space to interview a very influential personality in the history of philosophy. Let me welcome Friedrich Nietzsche. Hello, Mr. Nietzsche, it’s a great honor to have you here today, and we appreciate your acceptance of our invitation to answer our questions. How are you?

FN: As always, the same.

I: Mr. Nietzsche, your writings left a significant impact on our society; even so many years after your death, people are still discussing your work and what you possibly meant. There are seminars on your work at Universities, where students write seminar papers, and conferences are held to discuss notable work and life experiences. I want to believe that you have followed all this progress in our recent society from your afterlife.

FN: Well, yes. And I wasn’t surprised. You will know, in my Ecce homo, I’ve mentioned the general excellence of my work. There are three chapters with titles: “Why I am so wise?”, “Why am I so clever?”, and “Why do I write such excellent books?”. So, speaking the truth, I expected to leave such a mark on the history of philosophy.

I: Could you please tell us your evaluation of how the world is today and its society?

FN: Nothing more is left to say for me as: “God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Oh, I think he’s calling me back. Sorry, but I have to leave the interview.

I: Sure, when the boss is calling, you have to obey. I want to thank you again and wish you a pleasant trip back home.
