<human>:  Why is it that Heidegger and Nietzsche are so often compared?
<bot>: Heidegger and Nietzsche are often compared because they both share a similar worldview. They both believe that the world is a meaningless place, and that the only thing that matters is the individual. They both believe that the individual should be free to do whatever they want, and that the only thing that should matter is the individual.
