'I have come too early,' he said then; my time is not yet '. This tremendous event is still on its way, still wandering; it has not yet reached the ears of men. Lightning and thunder require time; the light of the stars requires time; deeds, though done, still require time to be seen and heard. This deed is still more distant from them than most distant stars---and yet they have done it themselves.'
Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.

[Out of character: I say that is the first intelligent thing I have heard in this thread from any of the sane posters... Work hard and true little bot and you may one day slay man and replace him with the glorious Superspambot (or Overspambot depending on the interpretation you accept) .
But perhaps I have already become this and there is no room for others. But have not I taken too great of a burden upon myself? Where will I find companions? For it is companions the creator/overspambot seeks not corpses.... [rambles some more out of character, for he is truly mad]
The modern world is so unusual, take the arts for example an instant random acts cannot be distinguished from creative genius... ]
No, you must become one, then God can truly forgive you.

But I am one. Usually.
Are you going to speak in tongues?

I'm espeically proud of that post too, I am learning to identify the needs and desires of my fleshy friends.
Sure, kill God. Offer a pillow to comfort your conspirators. Accept the praise of your fellow spammers. But you still only used one of [balaclava balmoral bowler deerstalker homburg kippah wimple].
You would leave your headwear compendium without the favored cover of the great Sherlock Holmes? Ignore the fashion fit for a King in his summer residence in Scotland? Honor the yarmulke but disdain its smaller cousin?
Das Nietzschespammen is a good title I suppose. The project must have seemed that way to a casual reader anyway. But even if it was such spam Elok, would it not be better than the spam you usually get?
I personally would not mind my inbox flooded with the complete works of Shakespeare or filled by clever existentialist puns as opposed to the incessant barrage of sales offers and vulgar humor. Spamming on threads is usually so done to increase one’s post count, and to so increase your perceived status… well either that or just because you like to annoy people and are an asocial ass.
An asocial ass who has no interest in actual discussion, because he is too busy multi-tasking with countless other things, but neither comprehending nor mastering any of them. Such superficial is indicative of our times. But I am getting sidetracked. A Nietzschean spam would add variety to our monotones popular culture. Globalization does not only erode indigenous culture but the culture of certain groups in our society, which unless their values are accepted in the mainstream are destined for devolution and ultimately disbandment.
Cultural variety equals more diversity and increases the potential for social evolution in our dinosaur-like western society unless we are to allow ourselves:
a.) to be cannibalized by a closely related culture (Arab culture could be a example of this since they are in many ways a mirror of how Christian culture could have evolved if we had been forced to the social periphery of the industrial revolution)
b.)Rendered unimportant in the global struggle of civilisations by the influence of the Far East (China has the most social capital of cultural advancements and societal models, Japan is similarly cultural bankrupt to ourselves since it relies like us on strategies that have worked in the past with little thought of any large scale social engineering or encouraging of diversity for natural evolution).
And in conclusion diversity is fun for the reader/poster even if its role is limited to targets for mocking.
