“We must consider the future as decisive for all our evaluations - and not seek the laws of our actions behind us!” - N
Herein man is different from ape; and to overcome what is to be overcome in man he must completely embrace that the future commands him; that is, the legislating drives of the strong must take the plunge into the future without looking back; the meaning of the myth of the labyrinth. Now that the world has been unraveled and its center has been found in the will to power, the way back to life (philosophy after Socrates has been the quest for the unreal which had to justify the real, amounting in N’s discovery of the unreal as the real, the justification being in matters of inferior and superior quality rather than truth or untruth) means first to make a turn into the opposite direction; where the genealogy of morals has led us to the center, the genesis of values moves from the center outward. Value Ontology is the protocol/framework for this approach; the future is to be understood as both a function and a source of the same power; consciously self-valuing means to value the future in ones own terms and value oneself in terms of the future; that means no utopian visions, because the future must naturally follow from oneself. In order for that to be the case, one must understand the potential of the field. I’ve discovered/devised a principle based on the notion of the world as a web of incomplete relations between sufficient entities; implying great deal of value-excess underneath in every relationship; and thus accumulatively, the web by which things are interconnected contains a constant potential for overflow at any juncture; ‘luck’ or ‘genius’ is a matter of protocol, not accident; there is the first Law of the Future.
