RE: Superior assumptions
Yeah I was definitely in a playful mood while creating it! Humor is indispensable for situations where you can point out something taboo or uncomfortable by implying it, without having to address it aggressively. It's a more peaceful way to resolve problems. Thanks for sharing the Nietzsche quote, hadn't heard it before!
Hey, good to hear back from you, Daniel :) Humor saves lives, if you ask me, and is a sign of intelligence/spiritual elegance. Here’s another Nietzsche quote for you, and one by Merton that sum up my world view, really, in a handful of words:
'Do what you do more as play than as work, which does not mean that it is not serious ... That is the real tragedy of war and weapons: the tragic false seriousness.'
—Thomas Merton, Letters
'Man's maturity: to have regained the seriousness that he had as a child at play.'
—Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil
