to clarify about nartha - i see it like Lu Xun's "Diary of a Madman" - if you research the history of china, you may very well be able to pull out information supporting any silly claim, say, support for the delusion that chinese culture is literally cannibalistic, or, say, support for communism in the analects. Or support for national socialism in nietzsche's writings. im also sorry if what i wrote earlier seemed like little more than bastardized nietzsche; ive just started reading "zarathustra" lately, and have perhaps had thoughts and speculations floating in my head that needed to be pinned down on paper. i dont mean to come across as a ripoff artist though; they were all my own thoughts, and there is very much regarding nietzsche that i seem to really disagree with. the will to power, gender distinctions, and the ubermensch, to name a few. our main points of agreement seem to lie in the value of experience, the lack of an "afterlife" and god (or at leasts their potential value) and the importance of personal responsibility. but now that i think about it, i guess those beliefs arent so much nietzschean as (atheistic) existentialism in general. but thats for another time.
