LOL.  Jason, tell me something...what point of view ISN'T dogmatic 
speculation?  "Joyous distrust is a sign of health.  Everything extreme 
belongs to pathology." -N.  The best answer is that it was a dual-purpose 
decision that satisfied both the Japanese and Russian crises.  Personally, I 
think the Russia overexpansionism was the dominant reason but that's just 
me.  Since we're talking about dogmatic speculation, I might as well get 
right down to it.  Do you like music?  Art?  Do you believe in beauty?  What 
about sense perception in general?  Are you celibate?

I'd wager that you INHERENTLY--forget about consciously--suffer from more 
"dogmatic speculation" at this very second than I have my entire life.  I'm 
not badgering you but "dogmatic speculation" is more prevalent you think.  
Honestly?, it's not my thing...

The only music I listen to is Mozart and the art I like is fractal.  My 
favorite color would be black or white, since both are all colors; one's 
introverted, one extroverted.  I have no preference toward anything received 
through the afferent division of my peripheral nervous system, in short.  I 
find sex repelling and from what I've read about Nietzsche, he would have to 
if I explained it to him.  What Nietzsche did by saying life is the Will to 
Power is extend Freudian thinking.  Sex is actually our subconscious Will to 
Power that didn't convert into awareness.  Personally, I find sex repelling. 
  I'd rather be more direct in my Will to Power.
