Yep... We're back to ancient Greece... Back to our roots... With Plato, railing against the sophists who 'make the weaker argument, the stronger'.
What would Zuby think?
i think zuby would recognise what aquascoot recognises.
without the evolutionary blowtorch, people will follow the path of least resistance and all that will matter to them is "pleasuring themselves"
governments have infantalised people by removing all pressure.
people now view discomfort as a failure of government to keep them comfortable
what follows is predictable
sugar, fat, sloth , celebration of victimhood, inaction, porn, gambling, family disintegration, whining , sooking, complaining, the cry baby narrative and the life of pure garbage.
if you wont put the blowtorch on yourself, no one is going to do it for you.
failure is the norm
garbage is the default.
an individual who has led a garbage life has extreme death anxiety because he has done nothing, produced nothing, risked nothing and been nothing.
the superior man is satisfied with his life and happy to melt away
he is hunbled by the challenges he has overcome
the mediocre man is deeply frustrated by his life and clings to it as if it is the most important thing in the universe.
he has overcome no challenges and the greatest challenge (his own mortality) obviously terrifies him.
he should have prepared by confronting challenge every hour of every day.
he didnt
now his life is a trainwreck
Just so. The Superior Man is a germophobe who gets about with a packet of Wet Wipes in his pocket in case he has to shake an inferior hand.
Until there's a pandemic, then he's kissing dead veteran's wives, lying about his test results, refusing to wear a mask and coughing on the help.
