Xev,
That was an inspiring post, thanks.
Slave morality got us where we are today. It is what modern society is based on. I was just pointing out that we can still realize many of the same desired values through master morality. And, in my opinion, this is much more honest and direct.

I completely agree. I only wish it was as easy it sounds .Only by destroying all of one's values can you know which ones are really yours.
Shai,
I think you can have respect of humanity and maintain a master morality. What you cannot have is equality. But I look around and do not see anything that remotely look like equality to me. As Xex said, it is much more insidious in the way inequality grows under slave morality. We are impressioned from a young age that in a utopian society everyone would be prefectly equal. I do not see this as utopian but a nightmare. Nietzshe was right in that the strong and genius are squashed by slave morality. People are NOT equal!I'm still not a fan of master morality. In my liberalist thinking people coexist and benefit each other in a society while having a genuine respect of others humanity.
