    How To Self-Overcome Like Friedrich Nietzsche

    How To Self-Overcome Like Friedrich Nietzsche

    “Here the ways of men divide. If you wish to strive for peace of soul and happiness, then believe; if you wish to be a disciple of truth, then search.” ~Nietzsche In German Überwindung means self-mastery, or self-overcoming. Überwinden means to overcome. Mensch means man, or human. So ‘Self-overcoming Human’ seems to be the most accurate translation of Übermensch. Nietzsche used the Overman as a personification of potential genius, demonstrating that Truth moves, and moving,
    How to Count Coup on The Gods

    How to Count Coup on The Gods

    “The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.” ~Moliere Realize, here at the outset: the only reason the gods exist in the second place is because our fear of death exists in the first place.

    Notion Versus Opinion: The Importance of Thinking Rather Than Believing

    “What is wanted is not the will to believe, but the will to find out, which is the exact opposite.” ~Bertrand Russell On a long enough timeline, the plasticity of the brain—to include personality and perception—tends to become rigid and stuck, conservative and content, dogmatic and inflexible. One must fight against the decay of plasticity in order to maintain it. Maintaining plasticity and flexibility in thinking requires self-awareness, self-interrogation, and self-overcomi
    Heyoka As Archetype: Counting Coup on Culture

    Heyoka As Archetype: Counting Coup on Culture

    “When gods die, they always die many kinds of death. Away with such a god. Better no god, better to produce destiny on one’s own account, better to be a fool, better to be a god oneself.” ~Nietzsche In a world drowning in religion but thirsty for spirituality, the sacred clown archetype, more specifically the Heyoka archetype, is the panacea of our time. It’s the vital force of nature that can provide the magic elixir we need to heal our profoundly sick society. When outdated
