I should have left him there. He had served his purpose. He owed me nothing - yet he gave himself to me willingly. Why? I know not. He is nothing more than a pathetic human. An inferior race. A mon-keigh. But still I broke off my wings so that I might carry him easier. I took him from that place, into the snowstorm where our tracks will not be found. He is heavy. And he is dying. And he is slowing me down. But I will save him. Why? I know not. He is still warm. I can feel his blood ebbing across me. For every beat of his heart, another, slight spill of heat. The heat blows away on the winter wind. His blood is still warm. But fading. And I have spilled scarlet myself. The snow laps greedily at our footsteps and our lifeblood, covering them without a trace as we fade away.

I would pick Heinlein's Federation over the Imperium or any fictional state...an ideal government ruled by a meritocratic oligarchy. Good call!

I too am a fan on Nietzsche; he meshes very well with Hobbes... Not so well with fascism. In fact, he was pretty sternly against it.

You know, if I stated that I don't trust men just because a man betrayed my mother or something, I would be instantly attacked as a man-hating psycho lesbian or something.
So on the basis of consistency, can I throw the term "misogynist" around here?

Paranoia stems from a damaged brain's inability to process information correctly, and is a symptom of schizophrenia. I think that's a bit harsh.

You were born, raised and live in a country which still adores it's last dictator, a man who went down in the annals of history as the men who stole the most money from a State. It's sad to say, but the Philippino culture needs to change. The prevalant attitude amongst the many (if not all) philippinos I've met was that if you could screw over somebody and get away with it, you deserved praises. Not a good start for democracy.

Depends on how you look at it.
For example, both Batman and the Joker are ubermensch figures-- merely different interpretations of the coincept.

Other than saying that it was a moral concept, which it is, I doubt that you could've gleaned much from my understanding of Nietzsche. My views are in line with Hoffman's, which is pretty much the authority on Nieztsche in the english world.

Look, I'm sorry if I offended anyone, but I've known the man since I was a kid...seeing him broken like that...its not that I hate women, I just can't bring myself to open up to the point I'd entrust my future to one unless I can be sure of her loyalty (sorry, but I can't find a better word) to me personally. Melissia wrote:Depends on how you look at it.

I always saw the Ubermensch as a being beyond humanity, with man being a bridge between the ape and the Ubermensch. He/she would be a god for all intents and purposes to lesser beings.

I should have left him there. He had served his purpose. He owed me nothing - yet he gave himself to me willingly. Why? I know not. He is nothing more than a pathetic human. An inferior race. A mon-keigh. But still I broke off my wings so that I might carry him easier. I took him from that place, into the snowstorm where our tracks will not be found. He is heavy. And he is dying. And he is slowing me down. But I will save him. Why? I know not. He is still warm. I can feel his blood ebbing across me. For every beat of his heart, another, slight spill of heat. The heat blows away on the winter wind. His blood is still warm. But fading. And I have spilled scarlet myself. The snow laps greedily at our footsteps and our lifeblood, covering them without a trace as we fade away.

Have you ever tried to read Nietzsche? And people say Mein Kamf is bad...

I have...its kinda complicated, but it boils down to that since man has 'killed' God through science and technology, man must now take God's place as the Ubermensch...the Ubermensch is beyond good and evil, and has the ability, knowledge, and power to create a new world with new laws, traditions, and cultures. It was very symbolic, and it did make my head hurt, and I had to read it many times, but this is what I ultimately came up with.

I should have left him there. He had served his purpose. He owed me nothing - yet he gave himself to me willingly. Why? I know not. He is nothing more than a pathetic human. An inferior race. A mon-keigh. But still I broke off my wings so that I might carry him easier. I took him from that place, into the snowstorm where our tracks will not be found. He is heavy. And he is dying. And he is slowing me down. But I will save him. Why? I know not. He is still warm. I can feel his blood ebbing across me. For every beat of his heart, another, slight spill of heat. The heat blows away on the winter wind. His blood is still warm. But fading. And I have spilled scarlet myself. The snow laps greedily at our footsteps and our lifeblood, covering them without a trace as we fade away.
