Massive futility..... :)

Pessimism in outlook MUST be accompanied with optimism of the will..

Nah my conception of will to power is likely more derogatory than his.

It is very important to contribute to the dialog of change as you never know when you touch a truth and in sharing it give a butterfly wings...

So you are saying will to power in a sarcastic way?

I see it as a blind instinct that lurks in the dark parts of our egos... and yes I think I do.

Yeah that sounds about right. Sometimes I think the diff between Kant and Nietzsche is the difference between what we want to be true and sadly what is actually true. Although…

If it’s true that we want something to be true, eventually it will be, even if we have to fucking tear into our brains or genes and tinker with them until we powerfully will the will to power to it’s knees.

Nietzsche can’t hide from Galactus. I wield the power cosmic.
