Without such details, the City skyline can never exist as it is only just a byproduct." - not sure I see what Nietzschean point you're making here. <br /><br />"while weakness is a necessity for human nobility, it is something that must be exploited." - must NOT be, I'd say... and in what sense is it a necessity for nobility? At his best, Nietzsche represents the greatest "power" as self-restraint, not exploitation of the weak. Of course, he wasn't always at his best.<br /><br />"Everybody is going to have their own version of the ultimate truth, and that is okay." But is it, in a free and democratic society, if some exempt themselves from law and consensual morality and act harmfully towards others on that basis? If we really believe in "ultimate truth" we must also have the humility to admit our own fallibility. The raw assertion of power reflects a deficit of character, not its apotheosis. And again, Nietzsche at his best did not advocate the exercise of power against others but mostly against one's own weakness.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02115141650963300011noreply@blogger.com
