Superiority and the need to be right: Repulsion/Attraction

Maybe this is what Nietzche was suggesting by will to power, but I gather he was implying action rather than a mental conception of oneself. Could be wrong here.

Anyway, I’m amazed at how some people will bash someone for being condescending or arrogant, saying they are repulsed by any superior display, while at the same time positioning themselves in the category of being right, whether by opinion or by acting example.

I dont want to focus on the hypocritical nature of their argument, but rather their drive to be “the camera behind the camera” so to speak.

I’ve noticed that in reading a book of fiction, I identify with the character that has a superior way of responding conflict. I say to myself, “Hey, I can use that way of dealing with conflict if I ever am confroted by that same situation.”

Anyway, I’m better . . . just kidding. :sunglasses: Feel free to discuss any aspect of RIGHTNESS

Some post on these forums to be right, and some to be enlightened. Sometimes both.

Don’t ask me, I’m a Nietzschean hermit.

That’s what really bugs me about liberals who claim that a certain other group is horrible because they are proclaiming to know the “truth” and have a “us against them” mentality.

Of course the liberals turn right around and declare their exclusive doctrines of “truth” pretending to be “all inclusive” and tolerant of all view points. lol

Liberal arrogance upsets me in the highest.
