Since this topic so effortless I am surprised that Nietzsche could not
complete his work after writing only one book.  Are you sure that you
do not have Nietzsche confused with Thor?

you bet there are snares for the unwary; and there are pitfalls for those
that are too wary. Nietzsche's concept of will to power is just too
consisent for it to confound forever, as the ER seems to do. Will to
power is force, physical energy. what does it do? it dominates,
dissipates. real hard to get a hold of, i know. it takes a real keen mind to
figure it out. When nietzsche writes tht this world is the will to power,
this cosmos the will to power, that man too and all else that is is will to
power, that will to power is force--he often speaks of waves when
discussing the eternal return of will to power-- we have to be careful
that we don't mistake this for nietzshce's way of describing the
matter/energy implex, because he's really writing all this stuff so
academics can endlessly bable about what he really
_means_. beware, all of you out there in Nietzsche land, you would not
want to make anything effortless, would you?
