Pick up some Nietzsche.

A Nietzsche Reader is a great start. It allows you to access Nietzsche without getting completely sucked in.

do a lot of drugs
go on a quest to find yourself by hiking alone in mountains for months
kill a man
be killed
get rid of all your material posessions
buy more than you ever will need

do something EXTREME
and you will find your center

also read more. not shit, read good books.

it does actually, because i have a thing for strong independent women, they happen to make my dick rock solid

i think you read it wrong

>What are the moral repercussions of this?

Take the ubermenschen path, search your thoughts and feelings, what do you understand of morals, of yourself? Humanity is yet to discover objective morality if it exists and if it does exist it is most likely a fluid construct. Pursuing morality through the eyes of others is ultimately a shallow water to tread.

Do you actually have something/things to say or are you just waxing philosophic

If it is the former, then write! If it is the latter, and be honest with yourself, then perhaps you need to explore your reasons for writing; this does not mean to give up, it just means to give shape to the nuance be.

tru pleb here

That actually sounds perfect, OP.

I guess it would be 19 degrees celcius, raining also, overcast but interesting clouds, not a passerby in sight but plenty of wildlife, in a gazebo in the middle of a forest. I'd have a coffee with more on standby, and a pack of natural american spirit tobacco.

This location would also have to sustain an internet connection.

depends if you read shit or not

> Is fiction even a good medium for doing something like this?

Do you have integrity, and or a passion for fiction?

If you have neither, then no. If you have one, then kind of. And if you have both, then you're who Ayn Rand thought she was.

I am saving this. Well spoken.

>your death strips everything you have ever experienced of its significance?

this is what subjectivists really believe

It's about two men, and a woman, who are attempting to prepare the first men and women to live forever. Because it is such an early technology, less than seven people are being chosen to be immortalised, and it's about their struggles and tribulations as they go through accomplishing such a thing.

Are there any words you would like to redefine for everybody else?

For me it's preeminent. In my head, preeminent means the stage of a thing before it comes into being. But I am aware this is not how the word is used.

Men plus woman attempt to bring about new era in human conception of time

dare i say it, fiction of a scientific nature

depends on what time it is

only the blindness it creates

You know all those heroin addicts that are absolutely convinced that heroin isn't destroying their lives, and people just need to get over the fact that they love heroin? Despite the fact it leads them into poverty, homelessness, depression, literal death?

That is the extreme case of what this passage is talking about.

yes

in the same way that something being 'brown' or 'spiky' is a legitimate criticism

>what makes a story 'good'

does it read well?
to what degree?

there you have it. good is just where you place the arbitrary flag on that scale

>>5053778
4/10 but i smiled anyway

>>5053766
intelligence is an attribute, an attribute that delineates presence of mystery -- the function which in turn motivates you, which in turn delivers intelligence. intelligence acting for its own sake.

it is not a massive ontological reach to come to that conclusion

i was not aware hume had closed all thinking on this matter. are we not both saying the same thing

>>5053751
anger drives to anger. that is why it is difficult to relax, it engenders itself.

misery drives to misery.

laughter engenders laughter.

why would intelligence not drive to intelligence? are pursuing such endeavor not 'modes of being'?

>>5053748
then what of the ubermenschen perspective. is it not directly at odds with to bless and impose? or do you mean these are two new aspects of the thing to transcend?
