Modernity suffocates true vitality beneath a fog of passive compromise and moral sentimentality. Living beyond this winter requires the cold, clear air of the far north, where independence of spirit is forged. Happiness lies not in cozy peace, but in the harsh courage to chart unknown paths.
Goodness is not meekness or self-denial; it is every instinct that increases the feeling of power and will to power within a living being. Anything born of weakness, hesitation, or self-pity is inherently harmful. Happiness is the direct sensation of overcoming an obstacle and bending reality to strength.
Humanity as a whole does not evolve toward perfection, yet exceptional individuals occasionally emerge through fortunate conditions. Institutional religion has consistently targeted these higher specimens, branding their strength as evil and their independence as sin. By elevating the weak, society systematically corrupts its finest possibilities.
Religions flatter humanity by placing mankind at the center of existence as the beloved child of a deity. Stripped of divine vanity, man is simply an animal whose intelligence often undermines natural instincts. Pride in spiritual superiority hides an underlying biological vulnerability.
An authentic virtue must spring directly from personal necessity and self-preservation, not abstract universal duty. Immanuel Kant's categorical imperative turns virtue into an impersonal obligation that weakens individual judgment. Acting out of abstract duty rather than living instinct leads directly to internal decay.
A species or culture declines when its guiding instincts choose what is harmful and exhausting over what builds strength. Decadence is this inverted valuation, where degeneration is praised as holiness and vitality is condemned. When self-preservation gives way to self-renunciation, corruption has taken root.
Pity acts as a contagious depressant that multiplies suffering throughout a culture. Far from being a virtue, it preserves diseased and failing life, thwarting the natural pruning necessary for vitality. By sanctifying weakness, pity functions as the primary tool of nihilism, sapping the energy of the strong.
Whenever priestly authority dictates truth, reality is systematically inverted to serve spiritual control. Theologians treat falsehood as holy and genuine knowledge as dangerous arrogance. True intellectual integrity demands relentless hostility toward every dogma that demands blind faith.
A relentless critique of Christian morality, arguing that pity and slave ethics corrupt human vitality and nobility.
