These are not the Übermensch we have been looking for.

Time for a resurrection of universal moral laws, binding upon all individuals.

Nietzsche said “god is dead” in the 1880’s

His complete statement was:

God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?

This quote has been imbued with new meaning in the post covid world order. In the light of revelations of secret societies, satanic rituals, the Bohemian Grove “burning of a 40 foot owl effigy called the cremation of Care” and the like, I hear echoes of Nietzsche’s “What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent?”.

When I watch Yuval Noah Harari, World Economic Forum mascot, proclaim that god is dead… and that now things like “souls” or “free will” are likewise dead in the minds of the cabal of global capitalists that we have allowed way to much power over our lives, our institutions and society. Harari has taken it precisely to Nietzsche second point: “Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?”… his answer is , of course, yes … if, you have a private jet, and an invite to Davos.

A tiny fraction of humanity aspire to become gods, while the rest of us are stripped of even the basic rights that arose out of the Judeo-Christian beliefs that stood for centuries as the core of western civilisation.

In the death of that centrality of beliefs with nothing, came both the benefits and dangers of Nihilism.

The Enlightenment's conclusion of the "Death of God" gave rise to the proposition that humans – and Western Civilization as a whole – could no longer believe in a divinely ordained moral order.

This death of God will lead, Nietzsche said, not only to the rejection of a belief of cosmic or physical order but also to a rejection of absolute values themselves – to the rejection of belief in an objective and universal moral law, binding upon all individuals. In this manner, the loss of an absolute basis for morality leads to nihilism.

This nihilism is that for which Nietzsche worked to find a solution by re-evaluating the foundations of human values.

It is this “loss of an absolute basis for morality”, and the nihilism that has filled the void that I wish to address, for without this basis, mankind faces being drawn into the coming maelstrom rudderless within a vast and increasingly ferocious sea as the storm of all storms approaches.

I have friends engaged in the project of developing Australia’s first “Bill of Rights of the Individual.” This is a very important project. The Bill of Rights, is however, only half the project. Where is the Bill of Responsibilities of the individual? Also, how can a Bill of Rights exist in the absence of a clearly understood “universal moral law binding upon all individuals”

Until we as a society can enunciate simply, as one might for a child, the principles of a universal moral law, we will continue to flail helplessly as psychopaths and sociopaths plot our destruction.
