First Parodites book is out

[Zeroeth_Nature (Self-Lightening, ΑΘΕΛΗΜΑ,)]

Still completely psychotic, I see.

I know you don’t consider N to be an esoteric writer in the Straussian sense.

“Know” is a weasel word here, since it’s not true. I’d already begun to consider that Nietzsche might be an exoteric writer in the Straussian sense when I posted this:

@Sauwelios

I have been reading Nietzsche for about ten years, which is the entirety of my (legally) adult life. And only now, only this year, with the discovery of Leo Strauss, have I been able to reconcile seeming contradictions, which still costs a lot of effort, though success usually comes without much ado - it just dawns upon me, it does not announce itself with thunder and lightning. But it still requires good reading, resourcefulness, intelligence, patience… One should not rush these things.

The ‘thunder and lightning’ remark was actually an allusion to you.. You’ve always been entirely lacking in things like good reading and patience. Also, your “pride” (vanity!—reinterpreting vanity as pride is itself an act of vanity) has always hampered your intelligence.

Anyway, thus far the roots of my considerations. As to the fruits:

@Jakob

I can see you wanted to move back from VO, as appropriating, selecting, to the directer idea of discharge. Thats valid. But you should’ve just gone back to the WtP, like Pezer.

Self-lightening or self-discharging is the will to power—the will to power rightly understood. To be sure, though:

@Jakob

Your own theory just doesn’t have any bearing on this world.[/quote]

Sure, it lacks Nietzsche’s exotericism of strong effects—Nietzscheanism for the “noble” (e.g., the word “will”, and “power”)…

You belong to the “noble”, the “proud”, the “real men”.. But yeah, maybe I should go back to the will to power:

@Zeroeth_Nature

“[L]ike a sick man who, feeling one of his limbs uncommonly heavy, comes to the conclusion that another man is lying on top of him, the naive homo religiosus divides himself into several persons.” (WP 135.)

“[M]an has not dared to credit himself with his strong and surprising impulses—he has conceived them as ‘passive,’ as ‘suffered,’ as things imposed upon him” (WP 136).

Now Nietzsche is usually understood as teaching that man is himself the cause of these feelings (and perhaps he does teach this—exoterically, for the “noble”!).

@Zeroeth_Nature

The real real man builds his castles in the sky, much like the “real men” build their sandcastles in the path of the waves, but unlike them, he does so precisely for that fleeting show to bring the lasting truth into relief.
