NIETZSCHE, EVOLUTION, AND TRUTH

(reposted)

My understanding is that Nietzsche claimed, that by Darwin’s removing the exterior causes for the evolution of man, that what he calls ‘will to power’ was sufficient to produce man (or all similar animals) through the process of evolution.

Now, today we might use different terminology. I use ‘acquisition’ and ‘pacification’ and eschew ‘power’ since it appears from the evidence that it’s the acquisition of a portfolio of experiences and opportunities for experience that people desire and act in favor of – chief of which is status.

I think we might also argue that mere entropy causes our development, even if circumstances (a peaceful enough oven in which to cook advanced life) are extremely rare, the universe has many opportunities to try. So as such our will to power is merely a set of chemical responses that we evolved in order to defeat entropy.

So in effect I agree but eschew reliance on Nietzsche’s effeminate psychologizing and german conflation, loading and framing.

Further, since psychologizing and psychology evolved as tools of feminine gossip and critique, I avoid them. I have the courage to use truth, rather than depend upon intellectual crutches.

Using psychological explanations is a display of feminine strategies. Which is useful for the weak. But unnecessary for the strong.

Truth is enough. Incentives are enough. Psychologizing is merely an attempt to engage in gossip using the strategy of women who do so because they are demonstrably weaker.

I don’t know if I want power. I want to demonstrate I am simply superior. Power just means more work to do. 😉
