Thus Spoke Zarathustra

I, Hunter Wallace, have come to teach you 3.0!

“WHEN Zarathustra was thirty years old, he left his home and
the lake of his home, and went into the mountains. There he
enjoyed his spirit and his solitude, and for ten years did not
weary of it. But at last his heart changed, and rising one
morning with the rosy dawn, he went before the sun, and
spake thus unto it:

Thou great star! What would be thy happiness if thou hadst
not those for whom thou shinest!

For ten years hast thou climbed hither unto my cave: thou
wouldsthave wearied of thy light and of the journey, had it not
been for me, mine eagle, and my serpent.

But we awaited thee every morning, took from thee thine
overflow, and blessed thee for it.

Lo! I am weary of my wisdom, like the bee that hath gath
ered too much honey; I need hands outstretched to take it. …”

I’m joking, of course, but I have thought a lot about these issues for the past 18 years. Along the way, I thought through the problem of nihilism itself to become a Lutheran.

Note: Famous European philosophers who were either Lutherans or came from Lutheran families: Hegel, Kant and Nietzsche.
