Nietzsche’s civilised assault: aristocratic power and anarchy-liberation
Humans tend to see animals as less. They are wild beasts with no moral compass. This what makes humans superior. Nietzsche argued that the masterful nature is in line with the beast-like mentality. It is the weak who create civilised protection to cultivate goodness for themselves. Yet animal are not all that unethical. It is man who for his own prosperity creates society for his own superiority
Nietzsche portrays the jungle as a place of genuine cruelty but one with inevitable consequences. The strong rule in the wild. That is a fact. It is society that embraces the feeble sensitivity. Animals prey on one another to survive. It is a scarcely protective space for defence. The feudal lords promised protection for labour. Out in the wild, the weak would die. No one would defend them. The birds of prey would annihilate the helpless lambs. Nature is cruel but fatalistic. It is only with the aid of the master that the slave survives. The master fends off the prey with his strong ax. An enlightened sheep whacking at the hungry bird. Escaping, the novice sheep is in debt to the enlightened sheep. Fulfilling his every need as penance for his help. The enlightened sheep promises protection if the novice rubs his feet every evening. Such a deal is struck. They work together. Even if the bird of prey attacks periodically, the novice needs the enlightened’s aid. Rubbing his feet every evening on the possibility that the bird may come back. A master emerges as a special kind of person. One with ambition and strength to protect the weak.
One day, the novice sheep tells the enlightened that he doesn’t want to rub his feet any longer. They are safe away from the birds of prey. A bird hasn’t attacked in decades. They must be somewhere away. The enlightened shoots back with no I have kept them away. You are happy here because my efforts have prevailed. Trust me. The novice believes him and continues. Growing annoyed at the possibility of lying, the novice raises his voice. This is pointless. I rub your feet and yet need no defending. The enlightened laughs of course you need protecting. No I do not the novice says, I have god. God will protect me. God will provide for me. The master laughs and shews him away. The novice continues to rally his voice about a protector deity. One who aids the novice. The novice doesn’t need his master because his new master is greater than the mortal incompetent. Slowly, the master is tied into this bind. Coercively believing that the novice is telling the truth. To rid this novice of his lunacy, the enlightened puts him on trial. How dare someone speak out of line. I am the master not some metaphysical uncertainty. Not some invisible nonsense cooped up by a false saint. The novice is found guilty and murdered.
While the master thought that with the novice gone the ideas would cease, he failed to take into account the twitter backlash effect. Attempting to quash the novice’s ideals instead bolstered them with his demise. He is a martyr for other servants. The enlightened had accumulated a group of novices that needed protection. Under the band of his salvation he had them do other chores. Laundry and farming. Over time the protection seemed more of an excuse than a profession. Lounging around in his luxury all day, waiting for the day of defence. A soldier off duty until the enemy arrives. It never did. The inverted boy who cried wolf. The wolf never came but the townspeople kept believing it was possible. Yet growing weary of the ruse they look inward. Questioning the legitimacy of a soldier who never defends. The contract is void if he is not protecting. He is using us. The rebellion marches forward based in the ideals of the now martyred saint. Rebelling against the master. Massacring his estate and establishing a new ideal based on metaphysical notions. Based in spirituality. The novices are now in charge with spiritual expertise. Claiming their own majesty. An intriguing model that elevates all the novices while demoting all enlightened. Protectors are needed with a deity’s shield.
Focusing on the spiritual the novices take charge. Spiritual primacy is the hallmark of perfection. In time, the new enlightened take centerstage under the auspices of the novices. The novices continue to control the enlightened. Noble efforts cannot overtake the novices. The old masterful ideology has vanished with novice philosophy controlling all. The cracks of the novice ideology soon begin to whither. Enlightened folks attempt to topple the novice ideology. Attempting to rid it from the frame. Folded in the ideological mark must compromise. The enlightened are dubiously enlightened. They reckon with even more novice thought. The Neo-novice character seeks to liberate the excluded from the novice ideology. The novice ideology imperfect in its might could not stop the enlightened to reach the pinnacle of success. Coming to an agreement so both can maintain power. Even utilise for their own superiority. The novice ideology so pervasive clouds the enlightened’s judgement seeing themselves as partially novices but using to their advantage. Yet the Neo-novice ideology strips the novice ideology with renewed slavish rhetoric. The novice ideology was compromised so a further novice ideology is necessary. Spiralling all enlightened ideals into disarray. With little hope for the enlightened ideology to regain its powerful rightful place as the leadership of humanity.
A coup dismantled the rightful and most just system for a crippled means of pleasing everybody. The novice is scrawny. Endangered in the wild. It is the muscular who shields him. As humanity develops the scrawny shifts to ignoramus. While the ancient sapiens were based in physical strength the later were in intellectual strength. The danger of the wild has yet to change but the muscular sheep used his brain to develop a weapon to fend off the bird of prey. He can rise above due to his knowledge. The weapon acts as a deterrent. His deterrent protects the flock. The sheep can defeat the bird with his strength. The ignoramuses have nothing to fear. Authority is vested in the protective capability. Yet the deal must hold up. Why rebel. Ungrateful servants. Seeking paradise beyond the contractual agreement. The novice lends little reliance on the enlightened’s model. The less wars, the more time the novice can see the cracks in the system. The enlightened isn’t worthy of servitude if there is no protective cause. His authority is bested by criminal behaviour. His authority rests on a false promise. War though seeks to unify the group. Standing tall against the enemy. His power and strategic genius will lead to victory. He has the resources. The novice need his masterful instruction.
Man is a beast without proper direction. He is a lost cause without the power of an enlightened mentor. He will be harassed in the forest. The birds of prey will capture him and kill him. He must lend his submission to the enlightened for his salvation. Life is better than death. Only do a few simple things for the enlightened and he will grant your wish of living a long life. The jungle is everyone for themselves, a dangerous area. The enlightened sees an opportunity to establish a defence. It is his brains that construct the walls of Jericho. An impenetrable fortress. Since he is the most powerful he also must be protected. He is placed in the centre with extra safeguarding. He is protected by the novice guards. Living lavishly until war breaks out. He stays in bed until he is called to act out. Since he is the military leader he may as well be the supreme political authority. His brilliance of military excellence translates fluidly to political order. A legal format whereby he legislates for his own success. He binds the public into a wider contractual agreement. His brilliance is second to none and can lead the people successfully into battle. Yet while the battle is not being waged the people do what they can to help him grow. Protection equals the ethical fixing of subjugation for his self interest.
Is the novice so endangered in the jungle? Is submission the sole way of survival? Answering in the negative is a political ploy to maintain the slave mentality. Enslavement works on dehumanising the capability of rising up. The masterful mindset demonstrates its power once for infinite compliance. Promising protection for enslavement. Dehumanise instead of reaching the pinnacle individually. At its worst some may perish alone in the jungle. It is a scary place and missteps will lead to doom. Others fated to suffer will not make it through natural selection. The master attempts to curve this darwinian fatalism with protection. Yet at the same time subjugates those who could’ve become masters themselves. Ensuring his own reign with no opposition. Creating a system on a lie for his own prestige. At its best there are some individuals but the jungle is never a solo journey. The novice is surrounded by caring characters. In the darwinian theme, the family may be killed off but working together can properly defend against the birds of prey. It is only when the individual runs off that vulnerability is exposed. Unfortunate cases and the enlightened sees that such children do not go missing since they are inside the walls. Preserved from any accidental escaping.
The dog-eat-dog world is divided by species. Species themselves for the most part only devour other species. Thus in the case of prey, defending in a familial pack has a stronger way of surviving. Adapting to the prey growing smarts to avoid the attacks. Even countering with their own slew of traps. Natural selection only works with unadaptable species. The brawn can exercise and the brains can educate. Yet the latter more than the former requires a guide. Still, for both to reach the pinnacle of adaptability a mentor is necessary. In the Niezschean theme there may have been an original man who figured the complexities of nature and overcome the issues. Promising to protect for service. For the first generation Nietzsche is correct but the generational hold makes little sense. The tactics only kept to a specific family is no longer a personal endeavour but spite. Whether by fate or destiny one figured out the truth. Why not share it with everyone? Why subjugate for personal domination? This wisdom is preyed over the heads of everyone else. Telling all others this is the only way to live. All defectors are exiled and considered heretics. The master fears losing his power. Paranoid, he voids all those who have the power to diminish his rule.
In the jungle it is live or do. Forced to adapt to survive. Thriving off quick thinking. Some genetics provide success while others lead to death. Those who survive gain new insights. Able to attain the knowledge had the master never enclosed the knowledge to his offspring. Erecting walls in defence, he deprives the novice the possibility of figuring it out himself. Near death experience provides that wisdom. Those who simply live in fear passive in their approach are fragile figures. Those who need protection. There are always scaredy cates who wish to submit to void the dangerous encounter. Traumatised from rumours swirling around the neighbourhood. Not wishing to experience the potential horror they submit to the instructor to preserve their sanity and body. Even if the first generation is truly an alpha, his descendants act alpha but are truly beta bums. It is the sin of ancestors that the slavish contact continues. Novice descendants could overcome the trauma. A deceptive lie to ring in phobic idiots. Unaware that they can overcome the enemy. Whether well-intentioned by the enlightened or not, his descendants do so with ill-will. Holding the instructions over the public’s head, playing off of generational trauma only seeks to derail the individual to realise himself and stand up.
The superman is the novice who breaks through the nonsense. Whether that be religious or political institutionalism, whether he be a secularist or a commoner. Whether a plebeian or a Jew. The courage to escape to the woods and survive there is the answer to overcoming the enlightened. Learning their methods they hold so secretive. Passed down generationally. The enlightened with a knowledge they never experienced. The only one to do so was potentially a kind-hearted protector. A father who fended off a lion. Hearing of his exploits others came to him. He trained a few to protect the many. A leader with the ability to protect the herd. In time this group gathered many more. Training was much and in need of building tools and walls, other men were designated to do harsh labour but necessary for survival. The tribe eventually grew and by the third generation whether through conquest or non-warriors, certain warrior families became the nobility and all else the commoners. The warrior ancestors who were no longer warriors possessed a right to their supremacy. A once good will became bad faith by entitled children. Lied to by those who wish to retain their power. Narratives told with the nobility as the liberators. A right their ancestor and they themselves provide until this day. Heed their word, their lineage is glorious while yours is tainted with novice blood.
The chaotic jungle is not a one-on-one duel. Species live in packs to perceive their kind. While not always nice to others they are to each other. There may be a hierarchy but one that is familial instead of regal. The enlightened’s wisdom does not come to protect the novice but to use him for his agenda. Society is a theatre for his own paranoia. It is survivable in the jungle together. No need to be seduced in absolute perfection but a liar. The promise of salvation buys their descendants’ lives for eons. The revolt by these descendants acknowledges that the enlightened is not that much more enlightened. Symbolised with a greater deity but if anything rebuilding the normative ethic. Hierarchy is fine but not in despair. Not in a devilish tale to hold the gullible imprisoned by their ignorance. The promise leads to an established ontological legacy that fails to match the one of old. Only with knowledge can they try to outmatch the novices. Novices can work together. They can overcome the enemy. The master is only impenetrable if the descendants all work together. Keeping the public at bay. Playing on their fears and subduing their will. They are only protected if they listen. Brainwashed into generational bogus based on good will for protection by one experiencer. One survivor of an enemy assault giving him advantage leads to a superiority complex amongst his descendants. Pure chance is the origin of unequal reflection.
Enlightened tell of the wild’s dangers. The rumours are circulated for generations. It is the enlightened who protect. Only they can provide the salvation. Unable to escape the simulation. Stooped in the theatrical, the novices do not think otherwise. Even if angered they do not possess the access to overhaul the enlightened. Fearing for their families. They are at an obvious disadvantage. It is the heroics of a privileged individual. An enlightened defector who brings the novices a new voice. While this can be perceived as an attempt to establish his own superiority, such ideals are antagonistic to the masters. He already possesses his wealth, he is really gambling his death for opposing the current regime. For the sake of becoming a king he puts up with a novice bunch. Such a superiority complex is tested with those who are completely induced in a profound matrix. His empathy bursts for the from the outside. Seeing the simulation as a stunt for control. He speaks of a higher purpose. Overcoming the current regime with a higher power. If anything religion is a careful ruse to dismantle the simulated presence. The clutches of the enlightened can only be undermined by a greater power, by a greater enlightenment. Searching for the spirit has a more enamouring pull than the meek existence they live. A way of hoarding energy for the cause.
The privileged revolutionary like the first protector is attempting to help people. It is their descendants who corrupt the entire ordeal. The good will is established. The novices appeal to him and orchestrate a new motto. Shedding the yoke of the enlightened. Rebelling with their new model of living. The revolutionary’s line becomes the slogan to follow. His name rings true in the ears of the public. The mythos of his greatness pass on. Yet his descendants may not be as charitable as he was. The vicious cycle continues. At times new establishments provide more liberty but the authority remains identical through the generations. One saint followed by devilish children. Entitled fools who prey on those protected. A revolutionary emerges and the public is tested how will they respond. What is in their interest? Will this be better for them? Rebellion is easier when the novices are suffering. Yet if everything is okay or only relatively problematic then the prophet will be ignored for the regime’s kindness. It takes guts but also ambition for the public novices to rise up. Having to counter their own routines for an unknown future. The jungle is scary, the walls protect. It seems better to struggle under an exploitive leader than oust him and leave with nothing. As unruly as the ruler is he has the knowledge the public desires to adequately survive. Without the antidote the revolution is a death trap.
The chaotic jungle is solely a simulated lie to stimulate fear. It is dangerous but possible if the secrets are provided. Experimentation enables children to learn from mistakes and survive. Yet the deception of the enlightened is the generational debt. A debt that seemingly can never be paid off. Your life only exists because of my ancestor. Thus my elevated status is something that is slavish for eternity. A seeming coincidence that permits eternal domination. Yet further is the inability for others to elevate. Refusing their growth. Experimentation can only be executed by those with means. Those with access to experiment. If all are subjugated, focused on their labour, the enlightened are free to experiment. Until the enemy arrives at the gate, they have the luxury of learning. Exclusively maintaining all their discoveries for themselves. With the erected walls, the novices work continues but the enlightened gain knowledge in other fields. The novices work when the enlightened read. Their wealth even more amassed. Fated to be superior. The simulation is the routine of deranged habit. There is no thought for entertainment elsewhere. Once the cycle leads to more liberation, with thoughts possible, their vision to execute is deluded with the inaccessibility and routine slavish mentality. Habituated to stay down with no where to go.
Unlike the servant, the mystic sees outside the ruse. He is not a typical revolutionary. He does not emerge from the enlightened. He is a novice. A novice who escapes the clutches. Confident and scared he runs to the forest. He learns in the forest and emerges capable. He is strong but not enlightened. He will always be a novice. He cannot escape his familial descent. His blood is novice blood. He can never be one of the masters. A slave for eternity. Even if he knows the truths learned all those years ago in the forest. This was by no coincidence. He bursts to the forest to overcome the myth of old. Yet his revolutionary mindset is a more passive version. He sees the eternal damnation of the slave. Without any access to overcome the masterful brawn, he gains a following that looks elsewhere for strength. A philosophy of fated servitude is one that even eschatologically runs its course. The mystic must awaken the slavish mind. Readying for a new life, one that possesses nuance and confidence. The mystic is the hope for change. The change must come with praise and elevation lest he be crucified for his insolence. Will his martyrdom lead to any fulfilling development down the road. His model tailored to the current framework. Rebellion is a fool’s errand. There is no where to go. A death wish for those suffering now but dead afterwards.
There is no hope overcoming the masters. The enlightened have transformed a civilised life with their influence. Running away is a danger to all. Only the bold desert and fewer return. Leaving everyone for their own sanity. Yet those who return cannot overtake the herd mentality. Faced with eternal penance there is no way out. Stooped in an eternal cycle of slavery. There is no possibility. The mystic provides vision with no access but the revolutionary has access. Capable of garnering protection, he shoots back. Physical triumph is possible and with his knowledge and means can cultivate a serene society. He is insightful with knowledge. The educated can only do so much with words. Means are out of his hands. His blood prevents him from accessing the means necessary for a revolt. Means necessary to convince the public to push back. His deeds fall on deaf ears. The revolutionary has the means and can push back. Working together they rally the people. They overtake the criminal masters. Establishing a new era. Yet in time that era turns violent. Turns disastrous and unequal so soon afterward.
