Still completely psychotic, I see.

“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:_

> [@Hail Hitler???](https://www.ilovephilosophy.com/t/hail-hitler/14183/259):

> 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:_

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

> [@My Musical Qabalah.](https://www.ilovephilosophy.com/t/my-musical-qabalah/47263/32):
>
> “[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”!).

> 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.
