All Is Joy Eternal

The overman lives in the city on the hill in perfect relationship with his fellows, in perfect understanding of the truth so as to have no need to expound on it further as it would just serve to confuse the masses who, missing the concept of self-perfection, create an opiate and call it religion. Thus the budding overman must struggle by his own will, in the darkness of his “cave” perfecting himself and ... finding all joy in deep eternity, climb to the city submitting to the authority of its ideal. (Nietzsche, Socrates, Augustine, Aquinas-after his revelation, Kierkegaard, and Daniel a budding overman)

No comments:


Where is Augustine's "City on the Hill" and who lives there?
And perhaps more importantly: How do they live - with each other?

How About a Bill of Responsibilities Rather Than A Bill of Rights

What if we chose the wrong religion?
Each week we'd just make God madder and madder.
