Nietzsche and Godhood

The supreme goal of education and culture for Nietzsche, especially early Nietzsche, was the genius, and the works of genius, including noble character. The more individualistic superman later was the culmination of this philosophy.

The supreme goal of the Twofold Path and the EC is primarily the evolution of life to Godhood, and it follows from this that the evolution of genius, the works and noble character of genius, and the genes of the genius, can help us along in our evolution.

Nietzsche might not have approved of the goal of Godhood as understood through intellectual intuition and proportion, which he might have called an illusion, however necessary, but Nietzsche might have acknowledged the grounding of Godhood in in material-supermaterial evolution, and philosophical naturalism.

Sociobiology (E. O. Wilson) has affirmed group-selection as the primary unit of selection, with the individual relating primarily to group selection. The academic world now needs to have a more transformable cultural role for sociobiology, which could then influence high and low culture.

Cooperative competition in evolution in a world of variety and evolving small states, while affirming ones own particular people and state, might not have been highly valued by Hellenic-loving Nietzsche, but the world was smaller then.

Long term evolution will need the help of international institutions working with national institutions. We can surpass the Ancient Greeks, which might have made Nietzsche happier. But we will need cooperative competition and not imperialism to do it.
