Nietzsche beyond good and evil7/8/2023 ![]() ![]() Thus, true essence lies in rebelling the conventions, opposing the norms, and harboring instinctual thoughts. He highlights that creativity that is reliant on common ideologies is not true artistic expression. Nietzsche conveys that society should embrace philosophies that subvert the concepts built on the collective consciousness. ![]() “Objection, evasion, joyous distrust, and love of irony are signs of health everything absolute belongs to pathology.” Friedrich Nietzsche However, Nietzsche asserts these notions lose their value once they are common in everyone. The statement stresses that commonality inhibits progress as good and evil were constructed to ensure shared aims. Every individual should trust their instincts for progress to take place in society. For civilization to move forward the conventional concepts of virtue created by humanity should be set aside for people to follow new values. And how should there be a “common good”! Friedrich NietzscheĪkin to the title, Nietzsche’s work stresses on the subversion of the societal concepts of morality, good and evil. ‘Good’ is no longer good when one's neighbor mouths it. “One must shed the bad taste of wanting to agree with many.

![]() ![]() But the debts, he assured me, were the normal ones a Swiss hotelier runs up-a matter of a commune tax the hotelkeeper collects for the guests. He had been managing a hotel and had piled up some debts then he had borrowed money without telling the lenders that he was in debt-a violation of Swiss law. To put it succinctly, he had been somewhat framed. He was not at all reluctant to speak about his troubles with the law. Von Daniken is a smooth, likable, restless, somewhat stocky Swiss, who is not quite in total command of the English language, but who does not let that sap his confidence in it. We did meet the fallowing Sunday in von Daniken's spacious suite in the Park Lane with a splendid view of Central Park. I was rapidly coming to the conclusion that the terse reference to the writer's personal life, rather than his book had been ill‐advised. Believing as I do in rehabilitation and knowing that great books are frequently written by men I would not want to marry my daughter, I was already having second thoughts. von Daniken's background, a matter of fraud and forgery, all public knowledge. The description referred to a peccadillo in Mr. Erich had been hurt by it, she told me perhaps I would meet him when he was in town. ![]() ![]() A few months ago I received a call from the publicity woman at Bantam Books about a one‐line descriptive phrase that had appeared with the listing of Erich von Daniken's “Chariots of the Gods?” on the Paperback Best Seller List. ![]()

Hooper wlosi7/7/2023 ![]() ![]() The magnitudes of TE were small and moderate for the Hooper-Index and HRV, respectively. Between-days standardized differences in the changes of Hooper-Index and HRV were compared to the SWC using magnitude-based inferences. ![]() The usefulness of monitoring variables was assessed by (a) comparing noise (typical error, TE) to the smallest worthwhile change (SWC) (TE/SWC) and (b) comparing match-related changes (i.e., signal) to TE (i.e., signal-to-noise ratio). The Hooper-Index and resting HRV were collected on matchday and on the four following days in three consecutive in-season weeks in nine players (25.2 ± 4.3-years). The aims of the present study were to (a) examine recovery time-course and (b) analyze the usefulness of the Hooper-Index (wellness index) and resting heart rate variability (HRV) in professional soccer players during an in-season phase. ![]()
