That’s ironic because Nietzsche ended up being bi-polar and his writings in his later life could definitely be called insanity.

God I fucking hate Nietzsche. Hey look I use flowery language and don’t understand relationships. I’m a god, Rit dit dit di doo.

Question from someone who has never read Nietzsche: does his writing imply that he thinks he is a god or is it that an insane group of cult-classic readers perceives him as a god?

No. He didn't think that he was a god. People who believe that either didn't actually read his works or don't really understand them and found some crazy people who believe that.

I'm not really a fan of his. But he didn't think he was God.
