ÜbermenschKelly Perez – Humanities Instructor

Life - Bio

Grew up in a time of Schism Traveled down the rabbit hole

and could not find his way back, died at 56; Frontotemporal Dementia or Neurosyphilis

Question the implications of having freewill and materialism

WHY LOVE HIM??

Plays the ‘what if’ game Doesn't have hard fast ideas Willing to change theory on the stop Lives in the black, the white, and the

grey Tragically, that game was taken too

seriously

What if … we have individual meaning <~> Nihilism we settle in life too early <~> Leads to a

loss of potential I have freewill <~> creator of my own world

These are the questions he explores in his novel Thus Spoke Zarathustra

Man is a rope,fastened between

animal and Übermensch– a rope over an abyssThus Spoke Zarathustra, Prologue

Parable: Rope and the Man

Looking at the world …. Saw Nihilism Loss of a potential journey Picking a side Which one do I pick?

NONE – too young for such an important choice

BUT… what if story….

He looked out into the world and asked a few questions

And wrote a tragic story about a man who escapes it all and how he did it

Social Order

Morality

Work

Family

Friends

Cosmic order

YOU

The ape man

How did we lose objectiveness?

Implications of the rejection of objectiveness and universal meaning; If we are all subjective, what does that really mean?

Enter the death of God* and kinship

While a materialist himself, he respects the principle’s of a higher being; the unifying aspects of kinship and objectiveness

How did we become so arrogant to assume we understand life at such an early age?

‘This works for me’ but you only have experience a fraction of the journey

Process of Life was to be supposed a process; you aren't supposed to have harden ideals until old age

Why did we settle so early?

Philosophy and inexperience

Self-doubt leads to passive ideas Passive ideas leads to complicacy Pleasure killed the journey

Journey killer!

If you fail to grasp the nature of suffering, you fall short of your potential…the potential to be the master of yourself

Hunger for life and fulfillment out of the mediocre, and sake of the journey needs to be restored

The journey leads to potential?

Spirit of Gravity

What is the monkey on your back? The dripping hot lead in your ear pouring into

your brain?

How do we break free ~>>>

Why did we give up on the journey?

How do we avoid it all?

Pure Autonomy

Disregard the herd & the morality trap

IF you want total subjective freewill -- embrace it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Evoke the Wanderer!!

Escape current life Remove the shackles you have placed on

yourself Wander your mind for your true self

Zarathustra discovered a tree with

exposed roots Man lives in the roots, not the leaves

Spend time at war with yourself Forceful reconstruction of your thoughts “Live dangerously” ~Zarathustra Suffering leads to Healing

Leads to Self-determination

Path to Pure Freewill:

You will find good things and bad things but most of all, you find the Self-Determination needed to overcome and create

Moral order cannot be imposed on the unwilling

No such thing as divine authority or cosmic order; only your authority

How do we avoid it all?

YOUSocial Order

Master of your own fate; “He has overcome his animal nature, organized the chaos of his passions, controlled his impulses”1

You become the Self-destroyer and creator of your own being; living in bot in the conscious and subconscious

Reject the worm

Master of Yourself

What if … we have individual meaning & total

freedom I live as the creator of my own world

Full Responsibility

rejection of excuses

Live for the Übermensch in

you

The Übermensch…..

Is this possible?

No….. We have doomed ourselves to a world of subjectiveness
