Life is a path-dependent game#
If life is compared to a game of chance, our main task in the early stages is education. However, as we grow up, we find that the familiar world (classmates, school, teachers) no longer exists.
So we start following the path of most people, seeking career/academic advancement, pursuing more money, bigger houses, all under the guise of rationality, but essentially it is path dependence.
Life should not be a path-dependent game
Our own lives do not need to rely on the paths of those who came before us. Find what you love, follow your heart, make your own choices, and find joy in them. I believe this is what it means to be human, and it is also how we can innovate and build the world we live in today.
Make your own decisions, choose your own life, build your own path. It is difficult to do so, which is why most people choose path dependence, even though it may be less likely, it is stable.
Embracing the concept of a superhuman/sovereign individual can help us break free from our comfort zones/echo chambers and make changes and innovations.
Be a powerful individual#
In this highly uncertain world, be the one who makes decisions for yourself, rather than relying on so-called rationality to return to familiar environments.
We all have to die, and the meaning of life lies in the decisions we make during this period of time, whether they are brilliant or mediocre, they are all decisions we make ourselves.
Nietzsche pointed out a theory of the superhuman for us. The path of the superhuman is not easy, but it is a path to freedom and truth. By transcending ourselves, the superhuman can surpass the dualism of good and evil, transcend the limitations and constraints of society, and become an autonomous and powerful individual.
Make your own decisions in an uncertain world. I tell you about the superhuman. Man is a rope, tied between the superhuman and the beast, a rope over an abyss.
You say your good and evil are connected to this world, and this connection is deeper than you know. But good and evil are not created by this world. Look within yourself for the source of good and evil, rather than thinking they come from the outside.
Your will should tell me: "Impossible! But I will act." Your determination should tell me: "Impossible! But I will achieve." Your qualities should tell me: "Not worth it! But I will do it."
Your morality should tell me: "Unjust! But I will fulfill it." Your faith should tell me: "Unbelievable! But I will believe." Your knowledge should tell me: "Unreal! But I will understand."
Your virtues should tell me: "Not lovable! But I will love." Your beauty should tell me: "Not eternal! But I will create." Your reason should tell me: "Unknowable! But I will comprehend."
Behold, these are the brothers of the superhuman, I have created the superhuman to overcome man. The goal of the superhuman is to be a rope, tied between the superhuman and the beast.
I love the one who takes on himself, we give him a name: the superhuman. The superhuman is the highest meaning on Earth. I urge you to abandon all concepts of good and evil, for they are only human fantasies.
Abandon all concepts of morality, for they are only human fantasies. The superhuman is the one who dares to make his own decisions in the face of an uncertain world. He does not rely on external values, but shapes his life with his own will and creativity.
The superhuman is the one who does not fear uncertainty. He is willing to take risks and challenges, transcending the ordinary human existence and entering a higher realm. He is not bound by traditional concepts and moralities, but judges and acts according to his own standards.
The superhuman is a powerful individual. He thinks independently, pursues truth and freedom. He is not influenced by the opinions of others, but seeks his own truth and self-realization.
**In this uncertain world, the superhuman is the one who dares to face reality and draw strength from it. He does not complain about the unfairness of fate, but actively adapts and responds to change.**
