I like it… I’ve dabbled just a touch and want to reread Zarathustra and get to beyond good and evil.

I won’t go on too long explanatory excursion here but I will say I think that this is what many of us are doing, or are at least attempting to do in our own right.

The idea that adhering to any deontology such as Christ cult comes with the implicit exception to free will (let’s not get bogged down in a physics lesson in free will - just say agency and volition). By following someone else’s code, esp dogmatically, you sort of diminish your own potentials and possibilities in exploring and expanding yourself, the world around and the people you interact with. Sure it’s “safe” but nothing worth doing is safe. And people conservative minded (afraid of change) old farts will shriek at the redefining and side effect at every corner.

I believe modern society, esp in the day and age of social media, grants us even further reach to push back and explore these tensions, to refine our views. Because you don’t know what you think until you run them on trial in the real. Without at least writing them down, you don’t even know what you think yourself most often.

Sure we haven’t came up with objectivity (since it doesn’t exist), but we relativistically refine our iterations as we progress for fitnesss. Anyone familiar with David Deutsche’s concepts form “the beginning of infinity” would catch my drift.

And it’s not perfect and we have the potential for steps back at any moment. But the Uber mench must be brave enough and strong enough to burden truths not meant for every shoulder to bear.

On the fear of Nihilism… I see more of a fear of existential nihilism than a disrespect for life. If condition decrease or are bleak for the future, this is when people react without conditions for a future they don’t see existing or being very dark. So imho Nitsche got this wrong, as we supplement our need for spirituality and community elsewhere
