Dear Anny, 

I cannot agree to a whimpering bourgeois Nietzsche that seeks to give a
cut as if a limited and finite transcendental horizonal cut as that of
the bearded Kantian critic which sees double when there is One too much
like an Hegelian Romantic negation. The utopian man that seeks a future
hope for cures in medical science is too timely and sickly. Far too much
a finite limited bourgeois horizon, as if all that is sought is mere
equality.
 
For a multiple perspectivism, from the perspective of sickness a
perspective on health and from health a perspective on sickness is to
seek the Great Health of the Untimely. The last man and the man who
wants to die in an alliance between reactive man and a dead god being a
human replacement for god and better to die passively without any will
as the last man following the higher men worshipping the ass which is
themselves so burdened in the abjection of midnight. Pure abjection. And
everything is ready. The transmutation of all values. The triumph of
active forces and total critique that comes with creation! To think the
One, the Same, to will the eternal return of the Same, this is a
reversal of Platonism which renews Plato, simulacra without any need of
a model or any need to be cut off from any model affirmed as Nietzsche's
theory of fiction taken from Hume as self sustaining connections,
relations with terms external to relations and far and beyond is the
outside relations and external terms, the pure active force which is
absolute deviation which must be and can only be univocal.

I have been reading on narco-economies in which oppressed nations such
as Columbia and Afghanistan are said to be entirely dependant on the
trade in opium and heroin and the stocks of opium and heroin replace
gold as the store of value allowing economic commodity exchange. If
suddenly heroin were to be made legal as if overnight the price of
heroin and opium would tumble as would the economy of these oppressed
nations but along with this tumbling also would fall the strongest
national economy in the world, the United States and with this the state
of such a nation could no longer be said to be united, given the tower
of Babel like vertical structure of the United States of America and
along with this the entire world economy would collapse. (What would
happen to Australia, to Continental Europe, the United Kingdom?) We are
all today living as heroin addicts, junkies or the more polite term,
injecting drug users. We are all living with abject sickness with
utopian hopes of a timely cure. The midnight drama is in preparation. To
think the Same which is not equality. That is the great challenge.
