But if the warrior is superior to the sick man, why should not the sick man lie too? Are you not just saying (with Plato in the Republic) that you should tell the truth to friends and lie to enemies – that is, to do good to friends and evil to enemies?
…But Cezar will probably not even read me.
I was going to bring out the “h word”: hypocricy. But this analysis is a little more interesting.
Nietzsche never struck me as the hypocritical type. He even loved animals.
The man really knows his Nietzsche, but remind me not to ask him to interpret Heideger for me. I’m not sure the term “being-becoming” has any real meaning anyway. It’s probably just something Heidegger made up to flip the minds of the Nazis and thereby hamper their war effort.
(…After all, no true philosopher would support the Nazis.)
The ubermensch goes through phases: sometimes he is instinctually noble, and sometimes he has to make an effort to be so. The former is associated with a great health, the latter with times of decadence.
And we see the assumption & tautology that:
Believes humans create value and meaning,
But who created humans?
How can a meaningless thing create a meaningful thing?
Isn’t the earth more meaningful than any single species which it has supported and given birth to? We ARE the earth, there is no difference here, we are of the same dirt and sunlight. The disconnection and the misunderstanding between form and source only exists due to its personal limitations and weaknesses. All men are what you would call “sick”, and they will have both error and disease in their lives. They will have much misunderstanding. And some will call themselves “warriors”, for they are too weak to live without defenses, so then they must begin their futile armoring.
