I can't remember how much I addressed this previously but here goes. I say
that Nietzsche is an enigma. (God is dead, logic is dead, ?) If one puts
logic to death, it dies either submissively or defiantly. It is quite a
sadistic spectacle to witness in my experience. Logic dies defiantly within
me. Why put logic to death? One must put logic to death in order to remain
true to one's principle and that principle is to not judge others based on
their intelligence. It seems that everybody but you knows by now that the
*meaning* of 666 is to not judge others based on their intelligence and that
is the reason why my IQ is 333. Now, I keep wanting to get to this
important point and I suppose this is as good an opportunity as any to do
so. I have a cultural imperative. I haven't left the State of Texas in 15
years, how could I not take notice of the fact that the commercialization
here preys on whatever it means to have pride in Texas? Well, you know, I'm
proud to be from Texas and I can prove it. A religion has been founded in
Texas... by me... and that allows me to use 'for the sake of Texas' as a
*reason* for why you should be doing something. For the sake of Texas, all
citizens of Texas should declare their belief that Nietzsche believed in God
as proof of Texas pride. In the World Domination Church, Nietzsche is a
prophet but that doesn't mean that other churches in Texas should go that
far in recognizing Nietzsche's significance. This is Murphy's determinism.
Asking Texans to acknowledge Nietzsche's belief in God is such a trivial
thing to ask but it is a thing which might have global implications in the
long term if Texas works out as a test bed for the idea. This also kills
another bird in the form of making a mockery out of Sartre. Sartre may have
been a historian and even a patriot of France but he certainly wasn't a
philosopher.
