I can't say I've ever understood Nietsche. I'm not sure he wanted to be understood. - xeno6696 wrote: "we have a world that has precious few objects that are very real (transcendental functions, atoms, etc.)" - I've no idea what you mean by "very real". I would class "transcendental functions" as part of the mathematicians' fantasy world, and "atoms" as part of empirical science, two very different aspects of knowledge. - xeno6696 continued:"... but in the grand scope of things there is no meaning or order to any of it. No goal. No end game. Nothing at all." - I prefer to think that everything is open for anything to happen, and for conscious life-forms to give order and meaning to it. I certainly prefer that to being a pawn in some superfascist's masterplan. - By the way why did Matt S transmogrify into xeno6696?
