Friedrich Nietzche’s Rejected application to the Jünglingsverein, Pforta.
SUMMARY
Early records suggest that a youthful Friedrich Nietzsche submitted an application to the Jünglingsverein, a modest student society devoted to social ranking and the exchange of boiled sweets. His rejection was prompt and, historians believe, decisive.
FINDINGS
Member’s subsequent manifestations of will-to-power, eternal recurrence, and fashionable pessimism may be traced directly to this formative snub.
Member’s participation in theosophical committees should be discouraged due to his tendency to dance naked at the mention of certain other members.
ADVISORY NOTICE
If located, the original rejection letter, burn book, oder jarbook entries should be laminated and displayed near the coffee machine as a deterrent to others.
