Will of the Triumph

[robinturner]

OK, I've been a good boy today. I've met my new students and, I hope, taught them something. I've found pictures of horses for my mother-in-law (who is starting a painting course and wants a photo of horses to copy). I went and bought a new printer, compiled drivers from source code, and printed them out (OK, I was going to buy a new printer anyway - that was just the excuse). I even spent a few minutes planning tomorrow's lessons.

So now I can watch my Highlander DVD. There is nothing so soothing to a tired mind and body than vicarious violence underpinned by feel-good morality. What the überschafe (mindless Nietzsche fans) don't realise is that the ultimate alpha-male hard-on isn't to despise and trample on the weak. It is to love and protect the weak, because this gives you a reason to take on a bigger and stronger alpha-male who is oppressing them, and kick his ass!

Although I'm not a male, much less an alpha-male. :-P

hee hee. I like your last sentence. Reminds me of somewhere on LJ I read "You can't make me hurt you." Can't remember where I read this quote, but the context was that this is the baddest, most kick-ass thing you could say to somebody.

Course, I can't be bothered to go and look it up.

"this gives you a reason to take on a bigger and stronger alpha-male who is oppressing them, and kick his ass!"
I realized I was catching on to my schtik when I saw myself taking advantage of the "perfect victim", i.e. the school-yard bully.
Oh! To look into those eyes and see fear ... he was beyond the pale, in dread of the heath, while I was a scrawny smart-ass who had somehow crawled up his nose and right up into his frontal lobes.
Gadd we're wicked ... and there I was, in '73, after airborne training, doing com_int, realizing I wasn't on the side of the angels after all.
Gadd.

The burden of aristocracy is noble motives, neh?
