Jung's takes on Nietzsche are quite personal.
> Carl Jung had a deep understanding of Nietzsche, that none of the English language translators have.
That's extremely debatable.
I completely agree. People will have different interpretations and perspectives on it, and there is often no way to know which is closer to what Nietzsche was thinking. Jung is certainly not without his own biases, and very unconventional framing of things. I don’t intend to claim that his perspective is perfect. I’d say he was mostly unique in having the courage to think about ideas from Nietzsche that made him personally uncomfortable, and not try to avoid it or pretend Nietzsche must have meant something else.
However it is a matter of degree- a lot of the translations and commentary have really egregious basic misinterpretation and misunderstandings.
However, this type of sneering/mocking tone is unbecoming of HN discussions, and goes against the HN community guidelines.
