"The creation of our own values as individuals. The creation of a meaning of life by those who live it. The archetype of the individual who can do this has a name that has also reached our popular consciousness, the Übermensch. Nietzsche however, saw this as a distant goal for man and one that most would not be able to reach. The Übermensch, which he felt had yet to exist on Earth, would create meaning in life by their will alone, and understand that they are, in the end, responsible for their selection. As he put it: "For the game of creation, my brothers, a sacred yes is needed: the spirit now wills his own will." Such a bold individual will not be able to point to dogma or popular opinion as to why they value what they do."
Perhaps, in order for man to live, god must die? And this is a sad thought. Humans are the most meddlesome, despicable little creatures on earth. There's mercy in Jesus, grace from God, glory bestowed upon us to restore faith in humanity. I believe in the death of neoliberalism, where the illusion of diversity results in groupthink and stifles true progress. Indeed, there are wolves in sheep's clothing among us and you will find them in every institution whether religious or secular; political or private. Their evil is of no particular race, gender, or national origin. Wolves lurk in the disguise of neoliberalism and prey upon the weakness of an individual to strengthen the State. It is my hope, as Übermensch, to declare the death of Neoliberalism and resurrect God, civility, humanity whatever you will it to be, among men.
Nietzsche himself provided an answer: “God is dead; but given the way of men, there may still be caves for thousands of years in which his shadow will be shown.”
There is a means of men and god to co-exist but we must kill the evil that destroys genuine goodness, and that evil is neoliberalism.
