the way around it , is to clearly define your use as a poetic term. the same way you suggest a golden sunset.
no need to look up the periodic table to find the weight of gold

Yes -will have face time before-I hope. I'm back at the end of the mont in NY.
My next book, the galleys of which will be ready in 10 days is co written with a quantum physicist originally
from MIT. I know my using the term irks traditionalists, In the new book we move beyond quantum explaining
-it does not explain life --only good for calculations and technology . Will send or bring galleys when we
meet.
We also use evolution in a different context -evolution of the universe. You have given me much to think
about --yes will keep in mind --humility goes a long way , The argument re math and death applies to
everything in life --love , sex, poetry, longing etc

evolution is only for living things. other things express " change" , need not confuse the two. . I think the
more you refer to similarities between your views and nietsche schopenauer, the scientist, will retreat a bit
. I would forever banish the use of the word quantum. it is a math concept that is fact argues against your
EFTA00823846
view. . quantum means smallest piece. ie digital, your views are analog , wholeness is not quantum,
unless you belive that consciousness in broken into tiny pieces that interact, throw the word in the dustbin.
Tell the scientists that you recognize that the term causes concern so you have chosen to abandon it.
humility will get you far. . your argument would be bolstered by science is only one method of understanding
, mathematics its tool, . you are looking in realms opaque to mathematical inquiry, . hope, for example. its
value, how to employ it, why. ? we will have some face time before the 18th of sept . I promise you will
be well prepared. you can also ask them if anyone theyve ever seen on a death bed, looks to mathematics for
the answer. ::))

The problem with physicalists is -they dismiss this as mere philosophy —Krauss , Dawkins, Cox, Neil
DeGrasse Tyson and others say -we have no use for philosophy .
Dawkins calls me a " willful obscurantist . " At a lecture in Caltech recently he said I was more dangerous
than religious fundamentalist . Part of me wants to let it go —there is no winning or losing here .
Will need your advice re Sept 18th meeting
I'm finished teaching my course and leave for Australia on Tuesday.

Nietzsche.
EFTA00823847
Opposed to this interpretation, the "will to power" can be understood (or misunderstood) to mean a struggle
against one's surroundings that culminates in personal growth, self-overcoming, and self-perfection, and
assert that the power held over others as a result of this is coincidental. Thus Nietzsche wrote:
My idea is that every specific body strives to become master over all space and to extend its force (its will
to power) and to thrust back all that resists its extension. But it continually encounters similar efforts on the
part of other bodies and ends by coming to an arrangement ("union") with those of them that are
sufficiently related to it: thus they then conspire together for power. And the process goes on.M1
It would be possible to claim that rather than an attempt to 'dominate over others', the "will to power" is
better understood as the tenuous equilibrium in a system of forces' relations to each other. While a rock, for
instance, does not have a conscious (or unconscious) "will", it nevertheless acts as a site of resistance within
the "will to power" dynamic. Moreover, rather than 'dominating over others', "will to power" is more
accurately positioned in relation to the subject (a mere synecdoche, both fictitious and necessary, for there is
"no doer behind the deed," (see On the Genealoscu]f Morals)) and is an idea behind the statement that words
are "seductions" within the process of self-mastery and self-overcoming. The "will to power" is thus a
"cosmic" inner force acting in and through both animate and inanimate objects. Not just instincts but also
higher level behaviors (even in humans) were to be reduced to the will to power.
