Nietzsche is dead, but given the way of men, there may still be caves for thousands of years in which his shadow will be shown. For the twentieth century was a revaluation, and where we revaluated we came up with fascism and communism, Adolfs and Maos and Pol Pots and Gulag Archipelago and Leningrad and East Berlin. When you stare into the abyss, it doesn't just stare back, it kills everything in its way.
American culture is drenched in nihilism.
Nietzsche rules, with Marx as bodyguard. I revive the masters. I have great hope because I see many people rising up against the despair of nothingness. Truth, that outdated oppressive concept, keeps reviving itself throughout history, which does not progress linearly. You see, Socrates went through all this too.
