We're All in Fractal Microcults
We now have an infinite number of ways to strongly disagree with someone
This blog post points out some very interesting philisophical issues with Pixar’s new movie "The Incredibles".
I noticed the two comments mentioned, but wasn’t able to link it to Neitsche the way the author did. What I thought the film was saying was that the struggle to keep everyone equal was hurting society as a whole – sort of like the Rush lyric, "And the trees were all kept equal by hatchet, axe, and saw."
I didn’t see the "elevate the supers" angle that Neitsche spoke of, but rather a rebellion against the notion that we should keep from offending those that are not particularly bright or talented by making a point not to encourage those who are. To me, putting gifted people on a pedestal is another issue entirely.
Anyway, do check it out; it’s an interesting read.
