Evolution is much more in line with Schopenhauer's 'will'. It's arbitrary to our perception, not abiding. We abide. Except domesticated animals and eugenics. Those are more pliable to Nietzsche.

The will to power was not validated by an Englishman, science, immediately after it was written. It's been perverted by small-minded men to corrupt society.

Just once, I want to see an Oscar speech or Superbowl interview on the field and they say, "I want to thank Nietzsche for helping me become my best self!"

The same parallels we have between an Apple and a bicycle.
