According to N, everything is Will to Power, so I assume sex drive is only an extension of this too.

Sex drive = more offspring = more people carrying your genes = greater power in numbers?

>> No.20219965

Will to power is will to control. Sex drive is a natural instinct and an urge. Suppressing sex drive or not fapping is a will to power because you are taking control over yourself.

>> No.20219989

"N" was a sickly, clinically insane outcast who had to pay for sex, not sure why you're looking to him for advice on power or anything else

>> No.20220013

But N didn't believe in free will and everything comes then down to instincts or "genes". How is that different from Sex drive?

I believe in the Selfish Gene hypothesis and want to synthesize this with Nietzsche's Will to Power.

The cells / genes that gave rise to the sex drive ages ago did so out of the will to power because yes, increasing your numbers is power, or can be.

You can also influence others through spreading your memes, spreading your genes isn't a surefire thing itself because your kid could end up hating your or being a huge fag.

Stop trying to learn Nietzsche through YouTube videos

This. Just start reading his books. Most books provide quite good context, youtube videos and articles should always just be supplemental.

No one says so. It's demonstrated by the actions every human makes. It is, following Nietzsche, the driving force behind all human actions and systems of morality. To gain and to grow just as the tree's roots dig deep into the earth for more nutrients.
You can choose to outwardly deny your own will, but then ironically that denial itself often becomes a means of signaling superiority; a superiority gained via the performance of purity and negation.

No, OP. Nietzsche thought sex drive was a reactive and not purely affirmative will. Power has nothing to do with physical force solely.

>>20221159
>>20221167
Literally what is wrong with such a simplistic reduction from OP? Is there anything besides will to power as ground?

Sure, but it is much more future proof than spreading memes. Think of the last 5000 years of human history and how many people are remembered or had an impact? Maybe 0.0000001% of people or something like that. The rest were low class serfs or slaves

>> No.20223712

For Nietzsche, the doctrine of 'survival of the fittest' was not only non-identical with the WtP, it could be its opposite.
Think of it like this: the cockroach may win the Darwinian game, but could never be the highest form of the will to power.

Y'all niggas need to understand pedigree collapse. After 5000yrs (or 15000 generations), """your""" "genes" have been exponentially diluted to oblivion and back. If you/your immediate descendants didn't do genghis khan levels of impregnation, your imprint on any genetic record is nonexistent, or at least pales in comparison to random natural mutations.
But if you forge the right meme, it (not you) will be remembered. Isaac Newton's laws of nature will be remembered, even long after his name is gone
