I have some further ideas for you, but no time.

Of course Nietzsche "corrupted" Schopenhauer's notion of the Will, but 
your snub at a title, the almost pre-phenomenological "will-to-power," is 
what I will want to discuss.

BTW, I like your assessment of LIFEBOAT and Hitch.

in the meantime,


Nietzsche wrote that the will would rather will nothing than not will at 
all-- this is the aspect of utility that I am getting at.  The will is 
almost lie a sort of simulacra function, or better producing.  What it 
produces, how it functions is up to us

and on and on

In a few days, I'll have more for you (and the inevitable lurking crowd)
