Yes, AUTHENTIC might be a good descriptor, Anax. Living in PASSION. The secular equivalent of Kierkegaard's leap of faith. Anti-rationalist. Post-Enlightenment, Early post-modernist? And yet one lecture I saw claimed he had a fervert personal, confrontational, embracing relationship with God, that his 'god is dead' quote was directed with contempt at casual, go to Sunday meeting devotion. Or at least if you are going to be a Christian FFS be a passionate one. Individual existentialist, non-systematic. Nietzsche continues to ellude me. Would scoff at Ayn Rand's souless Objectivism, I should think. More to understand here. I shall have to ask Tweak. [:D]

Ah Vincent, now I know where your remarkable insight and wisdom comes from... [:D]
I was hoping that would not escape your notice, Anax. [:D]
Now, now don't be sarky - you made your wee joke and I indulged you! [:)] BTW Rand and Nietzsche were both strong libertarians. I'm too much a commie myself but yanno etc...
