Hey, again:
No, no, I was just being a pain in the ass...
Ayn Rand did not enjoy being compared to Nietsche, and
strictly speaking she was a proponent of Rational
Egoism ("Objectivism," as she named it.) One of
Nietsche's greatest works was the _very_ deep and
heavy "Also Spracht Zarathustra," which I'm sure is on
Tyr's "must read" shelf. ;)
The instrumental to which you referred was a piece by
Wagner, who was a strong believer in Nietsche's
concepts - and of course Hitler went on to pretty much
ruin them both for the rest of the world for all
time... Just one more of his legacies - badly
misinterpreting a genius to suit his own despicable
ends.
Anyway, sorry for the confusing post,
Bye for now,
Dave
P.S. I wonder what else would be on Tyr's must read
shelf ... it could be a good discussion thread!
