Nietzsche writes in Beyond God and Evil of the 'new
philosophers' future atheists who will reject all metaphysical
notions, commanders and lawgivers who will live outside the herd
concept of morality and have the strength, the will to power, to
create their own values.  These new philosophers will say yes to
life, yes even to the idea of eternal return because their
experiments, their values will justify all of human existence.
With such ideas Nietzsche allows us to ask an amazing question,
perhaps the most important question ever asked. The question is
this: what undertaking might these new philosophers fabricate
for mankind? What non-metaphysical project might these new
philosophers give to mankind?  Remember the project would have
to be so grand it would retrospectively make the entire history
of human suffering worth it.  To put it another way: What shall
we do for the next 10,000 years?  Answers on a postcard.  Tags:
