yeah, i'm all about "perception is all there is"...and we're always in constant change and collision with our perceptions.. old ones and new ones and tra la la...

(and yes, I'm even worse off than you on my up-to-date knowledge on Nietzsche..this is all just from the top of my head)..

I think in a lot of ways, Nietzsche is most useful in the time that he lived and what he stood against. I completely agree with "we should not be caged" but to what extent..? It's almost safe to say (based on the mutual agreement here) that people without morals (not boundaries, but morals) are those that cause pain to themselves and to others at some given point...all for the desire (desire is such a sin! a helpless one at that..) to vainly believe that ideologies can set us free.

On another note, I don't think I could sit through a Philosophy of Ethics class (and get a good grade) because of stuff like this. Arguements about ethics always felt petty and off-topic to me (at least at my university, which I'm assuming is close enough to the talk that gets thrown around everywhere else)...

Anyway, anyone else have a different thought to add?
