SUPERMAN - MAD JUDGE - TERRORISTS

NIETZSCHE ON THE SUPERMAN

Honor is pagan, Roman, feudal, aristocratic; conscience is Jewish, Christian, bourgeois, democratic. It was the eloquence of the prophets, from Amos to Jesus, that made the view of a subject class an almost universal ethic; the "world" and the "flesh" became synonyms of evil, and poverty a proof of virtue.

This valuation was brought to a peak by Jesus: with him every man was of equal worth, and had equal rights; out of his doctrine came democracy, utilitarianism, socialism... The final stage in this decay is the exaltation of pity and sef-sacrifice, the sentimental comforting of criminals.... Sympathy is legitimate if it is active; but pity is a paralyzing mental luxury, a waste of feeling for the irremediably botched, the incompetent, the defective, the vicious, the culpably diseased and the irremediably criminal. There is a certain indelicacy and intrusiveness in pity; " 'visiting the sick' is an orgasm [!] of superiority in the contemplation of our neighbor's helplessness.

Behind all this "morality" is a secret will to power. Love itself is only a desire for possession; courtship is combat and mating is mastery ... Even in the love of truth is the desire to possess [!] it, perhaps to be its first possessor, to find it virginal [!].

In strong men there is very little attempt to conceal desire under the cover of reason; their simple argument is, "I will." In the uncorrupted vigor of the master soul, desire is its own justification; and conscience, pity or remorse can find no entrance. But so far has the Judaeo-Christian-democratic point-of-view prevailed in modern times, that even the strong are now ashamed of their strength and their health, and begin to seek "reasons." The aristocratic virtues and valuations are dying out. The strong are no longer permitted to exercise their strength; they must become as far as possible like the weak... the instincts of the strong - to hunt, to fight, to conquer and to rule - are introverted into self-laceration for lack of outlet; they beget asceticism and the "bad conscience".

The formula for decay is that the virtues proper to the herd infect the leaders, and break them into common clay... the "evil" virtues of the strong are as necessary in a society as the "good" virtues of the weak. Severity, violence, danger, war, are as valuable as kindliness and peace; great individuals appear only in times of danger and violence and merciless necessity. The best thing in man is strength of will, power and permanence of passion; without passion one is mere milk, incapable of deeds. Greed, envy, even hatred, are indispensable items in the process of struggle, selection and survival. We must beware of being too good.

Nietzsche is consoled to find so much evil and cruelty in the world; he takes a sadistic pleasure in reflecting on the extent to which, he thinks, "cruelty constituted the great joy and delight of ancient man"; and he believes that our pleasure in the tragic drama, or in anything sublime, is a refined and vicarious cruelty. "Man is the cruelest [cruellest] animal," says Zarathustra. "When gazing at tragedies, bull-fights and crucifixions he hath hitherto felt happier than at any other time on earth"; he could put up with suffering now, by contemplating the eternal punishment of his oppressors [aliens - G] in the other world.

The real test of a man, or a group, or a species, is energy, capacity, power... The decadent says, "Life is worth nothing"; let him [her] rather say, "I am worth nothing." Why should life be worth living when all the heroic values in it have been permitted to decay, and democracy -- that is, disbelief in all great men -- ruins, with every decade, another people?

The gregarious European man nowadays assumes an air as if he were the only kind of man that is allowable; he glorifies his qualities, such as public spirit, kindness, deference, industry, temperance, modesty, indulgence, sympathy -- by virtue of which he is gentle, endurable, and useful to the herd -- as the peculiarly human virtues. In cases, however, where it is believed that the leader cannot be dispensed with, attempt after attempt is made nowadays to replace commanders by the summoning together of clever gregarious men; all representative constitutions, for example, are of this origin. In spite of all, what a blessing, what a deliverance from a weight becoming unendurable, is the appearance of an absolute ruler for these gregarious Europeans -- of this fact the effect of the appearance of Napoleon was the last great proof; the history of the influence of Napoleon is almost the history of the higher happiness to which the entire century has attained in its worthiest individuals and periods.

Just as morality lies not in kindness but in strength, so the goal of human effort should be not the elevation of all but the development of finer and stronger individuals. "Not mankind, but superman is the goal." The very last thing a sensible man would undertake would be to improve mankind: mankind does not improve, it [mankind] does not even exist - it [mankind] is an abstraction; all that exists is a vast ant-hill of individuals [ant-hill is "a place where ants live"]. The aspect of the whole is much more like that of a huge experimental work-shop where some things in every age succeed, while most things fail; and the aim of all the experiments is not the happiness of the mass but the improvement of the type. Better that societies should come to an end than that no higher type should appear. Society is an instrument for the enhancement of the power and personality of the individual; the group is not an end in itself.

At first Nietzsche spoke as if his hope were for the production of a new species; later he came to think of his superman as the superior individual rising precariously out of the mire of mass mediocrity, and owing his existence more to deliberate breeding and careful nurture than to the hazards of natural selection. For the biological process is biased against the exceptional individual; nature is most cruel to her finest products; she loves rather, and protects, the average and the mediocre; there is in nature a perpetual reversion to type, to the level of the mass -- a recurrent mastery of the best by the most. The superman can survive only by human selection, by eugenic foresight and an ennobling education.

How absurd it is, after all, to let higher individuals marry for love -- heroes with servant girls, and geniuses with seamstresses! Schopenhauer was wrong; love is not eugenic; it is not given to man to love and be wise. We should make love a legal impediment to marriage. The best should marry only the best; love should be left to the rabble.

Without good birth, nobility is impossible. "Intellect alone does not ennoble; on the contrary, something is always needed to ennoble intellect. What then is needed? Blood ... (I do not refer here to the prefix 'Lords,' or the 'Almanac de Gotha': this is a parenthesis for donkeys)." But given good birth and eugenic breeding, the next factor in the formula for the superman is a severe school; where perfection will be exacted as a matter of course, not even meriting praise; where there will be few comforts and many responsibilities; where the body will be taught to suffer in silence, and the will may learn to obey and to command. No libertarian nonsense! - no weakening of the physical and moral spine by indulgence and "freedom"! And yet a school where one will learn to laugh heartily; philosophers should be graded according to their capacity for laughter; "he who strideth across the highest mountains laugheth at all tragedies." And there will be no moralic acid in this education of the superman; an asceticism of the will, but no condemnation of the flesh. "Cease not to dance, ye sweet girls! No spoil-sport hath come unto you with an evil eye, ... no enemy of girls with beautiful ankles." Even a superman may have a taste for beautiful ankles.

Energy, intellect, and pride - these make the superman. The weakling is not strong enough to say No; he is a discord, a decadent. To discipline one's self -- that is the highest thing. "The man who does not wish to be merely one of the mass only needs to cease to be easy on himself." To have a purpose for which one can be hard upon others, but above all upon one's self; to have a purpose for which one will do almost anything except betray a friend -- that is the final patent of nobility, the last formula of the superman.

Only by seeing such a man as the goal and reward of our labors can we love life and live upward. "We must have an aim for whose sake we are all dear to one another." Let us be great, or servants and instruments to the great; what a fine sight it was when millions of Europeans offered themselves as means to the ends of Bonaparte, and died for him gladly, singing his name as they fell !

(From Will Durant: THE STORY OF PHILOSOPHY, Pocket Books.)

Dripping with sweet venom, the bitter-sounding exposition of the philosophy of Nietzsche quoted above sounds to Me as if frustrated and depressed and heartbroken Eve of the Garden of Eden is complaining about God in human form Who seems to her to be A Brutal And Unfeeling Guy Who has no time for unethical females filled with secret unbearable illicit s. desire for Him.

MAD JUDGE

Everyone knows that there are many corrupt judges in every country. Therefore, to declare that anyone who happens to be a judge himself or herself who claims that there are corrupt judges in his/her fraternity of judges must be insane and requires psychiatric evaluation of his or her mental condition is being extremely insulting to the widely prevalent accurate public perception about the judiciary and anyone who makes such an insulting and insane declaration should be SEVERELY BEATEN UP by the CHEATED PUBLIC. Also, practically ALL "psychiatrists" are CHEATS and SCOUNDRELS like practically ALL judges.
