The current moral conception of Nature is one that appeals to transcendent value which places the benchmark of humanity’s virtue upon a perfect ordered view of nature which exists only within fantasy. This moral narrative is ultimately self-defeating and can only view the world we actually live in as ugly. This view ultimately proclaims itself to be the only universal value and not only is self-defeating, but crowds out all other values.

But despite placing these meanings upon it we fail to recognize that there can only be the Will to Power—This understanding of the world recognizes that values are not metaphysical, it is only when the will to power is recognized can the process of questioning values creatively begin.

Moralistic interpretations over nature arose from the inherent limit upon our knowledge over value, the truths that we have constructed about nature serve only as an effacement of nature’s inability to be appropriated by morality.

Our critique doesn’t only apply to the moralism of long ago, tyrants of the spirit seek to produce a once-and-for-all interpretation of what it means to be resulting in a denigration of individuals to sameness and an impetus for oppression

We should say “Yes” to the affirmative, the fear of our demise ought not to be a reason to vote negative, because that would mean making a decision that kills us 1000 times in our own lifetime. To refuse to react in this manner provides a new manner of decision making that can produce joy and noble values.

Our critique of the moral grounding in response to the resolution is key to challenge the notions of moralism which are at the heart of violence—only our criticism can make possible a meaningful answer to the questions of who we are as a society and who we want to be—we are a pre-requisite to political action.
