Thanks for the comment, andrew. i disagree about "one's own situation."
i think there is a naivete in the reading of nietz. that is most typical, kaufmannesque
perhaps ( the curious reasoning for him to fall into scientology at the end of his life?)
(ie, kaufmann, not nietz the peach who fell elsewhere, of course)
i think more irony is needed where typically a literalism is exalted in reading nietz on the
individual.
the old "master of my fate, captain of my ship" hub-bub. such, it seems to me, is a little
simplistic, a little surface-istic reading, and a short range view...
ah, but just my humble screed,
kindest regards,
hen
