Differences With Nietzsche


Nietzsche was a powerful, if neurotic, thinker and his integrity was such that as the ultimate intellectual he could say, it takes more courage than intelligence to find the truth.

Nietzsche was in some ways the father of the bio-social thinking of present day sociobiology, which I affirm, but Nietzsche was also the father of the relativity of morals in modern philosophy, which I do not affirm.

Nietzsche's will-to-power was goalless, although it led to supermen, but they were also also goalless. The Spirit-Will of the Evolutionary Church (EC) is also called the Will-to-Godhood, and unlike Nietzsche's will-to-power it has a sacred goal.

The radicalism of Nietzsche, and of modern philosophy---and modern art---mainly rejects the past, and rejects tradition, which is a sociobiological mistake. The new needs to be included in the old if there is to be life at all. This is affirmed in the Twofold Path of EC, where the Inward Path leads to the inward God first seen in traditional religion, and the Outward Path leads to the outward Godhood now seen in material evolution. Here old and new, religion and science, can finally make friends.

The superman of Nietzsche, like the later Beyondism of Cattell (another courageous thinker), is not enough. There is a goal to the primal power drive, which is why the Spirit-Will is defined as the Will to Godhood and not the will to power. Nietzsche was a radical, even if his was an aristocratic radicalism, and this radicalism leads to the problems of imperialism and chosenness-supremacy, which leads to chaotic war, and war tends to stop all evolution---like upsetting the great game table of Ordered Evolution because you can't play the game well.

All men are activated by the Spirit-Will within, or the Will-To Godhood, to evolve toward eternal representation, or Godhood, and this motivates survival and reproduction and all cultural creations, unconsciously or consciously. The practical way, and the moral way, to accommodate the Spirit-Will, for all men, all ethnic groups, is to establish, or reestablish, virtually independent small states, where continuing evolution can be more quickly and easily reflected, protected against imperialism by a light federalism, and guided by the Church.
