No I think I understand your POV in this thread very well, you want to talk about what Nietzsche said and thought and I happen to think he is an idiot on this particular idea. Man did not create anything, ever, man only chooses what is available and Good and Evil are entities at opposite ends of the spectrum, one against the other. No yin yang BS, they do not peacefully co-exist and Good was before Evil and will be no matter if there is Evil or not. Man’s animal side is inherently selfish and thus Evil, he must learn control of his emotions and desires to be at peace with himself and others, if we were strictly animals without a soul we would only do what the laws of natures survival would require and there would be no choosing between Good and Evil, in fact there would be no choosing at all.
If you wish to quote philosophy then why not “ the only true knowledge man has is that he knows nothing”, that’s one of the few that rings true, most of Nietzsche’s writhing I have read are crap and have no truth in them and knowledge without truth is worthless mental masturbation. You seem to be one of those that thinks knowledge comes from reading books, I perfer to discuss what you think, personally I dont give a crap what Nietzsche thought or said.
