To overcome morality through the adoption of ethics- that constitutes the essence of being a decent man. Here the horror of the Christian machine is belied for what it is: the most efficient wheel of moral man, the height of European moral control, the actual European way to raise the ascetic ideal above all else in the cultural order of things. Of course, the decent man will have nothing of this- his will is to be found in the Dionysian formula of yes-saying and no-doing, in the veracity of thriving life, in the victory of life itself over the moral forces of decadence.
Decency is illusion. In all actuality there are no moral or decent people out there. Just a lot of pretenders.
What decent or moral person could exist idly in this world without major protest everyday concerning its horrifying corruption?
The fact is that everybody doesn’t protest this world where they just carry on with their lives concerning themselves with their own self interests.
Well, that’s not very moral, now is it?
Then you have those morally religious people who extend both of their arms in the air saying that they can do nothing where they say that they leave everything up to the will of god. How very convenient for them that must be…
I mean this is pulpit stuff. You can almost hear the finger slicing the air. You and you and you…all sinners. You can hide your sins from each other, but God, I mean, Tyler sees all.
I call that banal apathy.
Some people do not consider neutrality a form of evil, but I consider it a form of evil, because of everyone sits by and never fights corruption, it grows and grows and eventually consumes all the onlooking neutral guys too.
For me the decent guy works for both his own and others pleasure, never intentionally hurtfull just for the sake of it, only as a means of higher pleasure. That said I’m still a moral-nihilist in that I don’t really think the indecent is evil or even bad, or at least unsure of wether or not it is.
Schopenhauer claims we live in the worst of all possible worlds. Since if human nature would of been slightly worse they would of gone extinct a long time ago.
But mabey we’re in one of the best, the equalizing forces of both the decent and the indicent result in this balance of pleasure and autonomy. So in essence no Mad Max, Brave New World, or Eternal Oblivion(Yet).
