BGE 23 is where N utilizes physio-psychology as a means of "living into"
(erfuhlen) Will to Power.

It is interesting to study cave art from the last glaciation, a creation of
those human predators who on an individual basis created their own
projectile weapondry. Surely they had a surplus of energy and perhaps
enjoyed a life style which only a few "modern" men of the leisure class now
enjoy. Even so, we all must envy these ancient predators their solitude.
Modern research has shown that in fact that the male-female pairbond of this
time did not live communally.

Conservation of energy is a decadent concept.
