Subject: And you morons wanted some biology!


"If Nietzsche rejects Darwin's concept of natural selection as a
falsification of the real selection, as a selection that ensures the
reign of those who _compromise the meaning and value of life_, it is
because he feels that the Darwinian selection conspires with
gregariousness by presenting _mediocre_ beings as _strong_, rich and
powerful beings.  The latter, from Nietzsche's point of view, are
nothing other than the singular and exceptional cases that have been
practically _eliminated_ up to now.  The selection expounded by Darwin
coincides perfectly with bourgeois morality.  This then is the external
conspiracy - the conspiracy of the science and morality of institutions
- against which Nietzsche projects the conspiracy of the Vicious
Circle.  This sign will henceforth inspire an experimental action - a
kind of counter-selection that follows from the very nature of the
interpretation of the Eternal Return, that is to say, from the _lived
experience_ of a singular and privileged case."
