>superior being to human through his liberation from slave morality and his supreme assertion of will

And yet I could not help wondering at his natural temperance and self-restraint and manliness. I never imagined that I could have met with a man such as he is in wisdom and endurance. And therefore I could not be angry with him or renounce his company, any more than I could hope to win him. For I well knew that if Ajax could not be wounded by steel, much less he by money; and my only chance of captivating him by my personal attractions had failed. So I was at my wit's end; no one was ever more hopelessly enslaved by another. All this happened before he and I went on the expedition to Potidaea; there we messed together, and I had the opportunity of observing his extraordinary power of sustaining fatigue. His endurance was simply marvellous when, being cut off from our supplies, we were compelled to go without food—on such occasions, which often happen in time of war, he was superior not only to me but to everybody; there was no one to be compared to him. Yet at a festival he was the only person who had any real powers of enjoyment; though not willing to drink, he could if compelled beat us all at that,—wonderful to relate! no human being had ever seen Socrates drunk; and his powers, if I am not mistaken, will be tested before long. His fortitude in enduring cold was also surprising. There was a severe frost, for the winter in that region is really tremendous, and everybody else either remained indoors, or if they went out had on an amazing quantity of clothes, and were well shod, and had their feet swathed in felt and fleeces: in the midst of this, Socrates with his bare feet on the ice and in his ordinary dress marched better than the other soldiers who had shoes, and they looked daggers at him because he seemed to despise them.

Socrates was more of a Dionysian than Nietzsche could ever larp as. He was considered the embodiment of Silenus.
He was also a Chad warrior

There is nothing noble in arrogance or the ignorance of values. That's the complete opposite of power, a tyrant at best or a democrat in denial at worst.
Anyone who has read the Greeks should know this.

socrates must have been extremely based then

>And there you might see him, Aristophanes, as you describe, just as he is in the streets of Athens, stalking like a pelican, and rolling his eyes, calmly contemplating enemies as well as friends, and making very intelligible to anybody, even from a distance, that whoever attacked him would be likely to meet with a stout resistance; and in this way he and his companion escaped—for this is the sort of man who is never touched in war.

I will always be there.

The industrial revolution was the biggest mistake man ever made.

Science is a spook, but it is useful so we keep it becuase it helps the ego. Morality started out in servment of the ego, but got corrupted into a brainwashing thought pattern spread through civilasation where morality controlled people, instead of morality being controlled by the ego. Morality is like natural selection. The strongest, most agile moral system destroy the weaker, less adapted one. This lead to the creation of fundamentalism, nationalism you name it. The real epistamological principal is this: if it works it's true. The real metaethical principal is this: survival of the fitest. Morality is simply a social construct that fights over people with other moralities. When the west created a moral hegemony it lead to the degeneration of the spooks as the basis of their continual hardening disappeard. Nationalism and the like fell out of favor. Becuase we have forgotten the point of spooks and becuase they can't evolve anymore due to lack of conflict, they have started to degenerate and weaken. This is the cause behind sjw:s, vegans, communists and the like. But it doesn't stop there. Spooks have began to turn on mankind itself, it was inevitable, in the form of antinataliam and efilism. To some extent, nearly all morality is anti human, except for Virtue ethics. Which we must turn back to. Otherwise the spooks will reign supreme. Morality is like a mad dog, it's strong but left unchained, it will kill you.

TLDR: Start with the greeks.

When you quit being a pussy and stop expecting the world to throw values upon you (or just learn to accept the values of another). Make your own values or get religious, faggot.
