{ Project Ubermensch }
I looked around the base facilities, and it seemed that all the important stories had come out.
“Okay then, let me guide you to the room where the two of you will be staying.”
Aiden was guiding Yuhanwol and Yangyanggwang.
He glanced at them and opened his mouth.
“Didn’t Ubermensch say ‘superman’ in German earlier?”
Yang Yang-gwang responded to the sudden question.
“yes? Yes. It was.”
“Then why would you write the project name in German? We were mostly Americans.”
“I do not know? Wasn’t that so that I didn’t know what it meant?”
Aiden let out a small sigh instead of answering.
It looked like he was trying not to notice, but it was a sound that the nearby Yangyanggwang could hear.
“Ubermensch… It’s German, but it’s a word that everyone who knows it knows.”
Aiden stared at the soft words as he spit them out.
The meaning in his eyes seemed to be like this.
‘But you don’t know.’
Yang Yang-gwang asked, suppressing the blood that was about to rise.
“Is that so?”
“Ubermensch… The word is mentioned in Nietzsche’s thought.”
“Are you?”
What the hell is this all of a sudden?
However, Aiden’s attitude was not so serious.
“Hey, do you know your body?”
“… A little?”
“Still, you seem to have heard something.”
“… … .”
His words sounded like he didn’t know anything rather than that he was lucky.
Still, the two had to remain silent.
“Nietzsche… He deserves to be called the greatest philosopher in human history.”
‘… Was he that kind of person?’
Yuhan-wol and Yang-gwang Yang were the only students who could only remember his name with the shallow education of his school days.
“His thoughts are so profound and profound that they are called the king of philosophy. If it was too much, Nietzsche said it all to the extent that there is a theory that he fell into it in his later years and went crazy himself.”
“Oh, so?”
To what extent can a person go crazy for himself?
It looked like it was very difficult.
“okay. Is that so? His ideas have always been loved by the world’s most intelligent people. you know… Adolf Hitler was also fascinated by his ideas.”
“ah… Are you German?”
“right. That Hitler. It is said that while Nietzsche was alive, he was very worried that someone would later misinterpret his thoughts, but that was not a concern.”
I wondered what kind of philosophical rhyme it was, and even though I only heard a little bit about it, the content was really unusual.
To say that it is profound enough to drive itself crazy means that it is difficult to fully understand it properly.
‘The world’s best intelligence.’
Those words sounded too unusual.
“Ubermensch… It was Bruce who named the project. He explored Nietzsche’s thoughts very deeply. To the extent that I mentioned it quite profoundly several times while eating with me. He was truly impressed with Nietzsche’s ideas. Enough to give names to his so important projects.”
After all, if you listen to him so far, Bruce Hendrick has poured unstinting attention and support for this project.
It was probably the most meaningful thing in his life.
It was written under the name of such a thing, so it was not unreasonable to think that way.
“of course… Unless you go inside him, you will not be able to fully understand his thoughts. But I’ve been trying so hard to understand him. You have to understand the other person’s thoughts properly so that you can deal with them in the future. I’ve been observing Bruce countless times, looking at his words and actions, trying to read his thoughts. So, to some extent, I understand him doing this.”
A phrase from the famous tzuyu warfare law comes to mind.
Don’t burn the sizzle.
If you know your enemy and know yourself, you will not be in danger even if you fight a hundred times.
It is important to know
If you know your enemy, if you can read the enemy’s thoughts, you can’t lose.
Yuhanwol looked at Aiden with new eyes.
‘After creating Odhalaf, I’ve been wary… ‘
When did he start trying to understand Bruce Hendrick?
Aiden’s explanation continued to ring in my ears.
“He has always given the meaning of ‘for humanity’ to his work. It was the same when BH Real was founded and the game business was selected as the next-generation growth engine. Backed by the voice that excessive gaming is harmful to humans, the game industry was shrinking due to various regulations in each country. So, it was a widely held general view and opinion that the boom in the game industry had already passed. But in such a situation, isn’t it the situation where the mythical figure named Bruce Hendrick shouted, ‘It’s not so’?”
“Yes.”
“Gamers in the game industry just cheered loudly, but those who couldn’t understand it at all wondered what kind of thinking and judgment this giant had in making this decision. And his answer was simple.”
“Did you just invest because it is the field that can contribute the most to the present humanity?”
“okay. I heard you. What… It’s a cryptic word that people who don’t know the background will be dubious when they hear it.
“So that’s it.”
“However, that statement is not completely empty. He clearly believed that the present human race had reached its limit. It shouldn’t be like this. It’s getting weaker as a servant. So, a big change is needed for humanity. A big change that will overcome all the difficulties that mankind has ever faced. Evolution.”
Aiden, who had paused for a moment, spoke again.
“First of all, Ubermensch… You have to understand the meaning. Why did Bruce take the word so seriously?”
Yuhan-wol and Yang-gwang nodded as if they agreed, and he continued the explanation.
“Ubermensch. A word that can be interpreted as a superman. But it’s not a light word that can be interpreted simply as a superman. Isn’t it just Superman when we talk about a normal superman? He’s strong and has superpowers.”
“Yes.”
“What Nietzsche calls superman… He is not a moral gentleman, but a being who must have the determination and boldness not to be bound by morality. They also have to create their own new values.”
“… … .”
As if Aiden was important, he pointed out the meaning of those words once again.
“Do you know how terrifying these words are? Bruce’s thoughts and plans cannot be entangled with the present values of humanity.”
Their faces harden as if they understood something.
“Let me explain with an example… The present humanity has decided that humans should not kill humans. that is ethical and moral. But for him, that may not be the case.”
“After all, the thoughts and standards of the present human race… Is it superhuman to transcend all those limits?”
Aiden nodded his head as if it was not a very wrong understanding at Yang Yang-gwang’s continuous recitation.
Then Yang Gwang added the question that came to his mind.
“By the way… What if it goes in a strange direction?”
“When you say ‘strange direction’, you’re saying it’s not good by today’s standards, right? But just because it’s bad for the current human race doesn’t mean it’s bad for the human species. Think about it. for example… Is it really bad for the human species if we can’t destroy nature even if we live the present human beings with great difficulty and difficulty?”
“… … .”
“Suppose, for example, that a person, a company, or a country is short-sighted and does something that harms the whole of humanity. And if someone kills such a person, if they get rid of such a company or country, it would have crossed the line in the present values of humanity. But what about the future of mankind? It might be best to get rid of the problem as soon as possible and dig it out.”
“How could an individual make such a judgment?”
“That’s the superman. Going beyond the limits of the present human race, beyond their yardstick, and having to overcome their resistance. Bruce’s superman must be like this.”
“… … .”
“We talked for a while, but Bruce believed so. No, that’s what I was trying to do. There is no answer for humanity today.”
Aiden paused for a moment, wondering if he was trying to revive the atmosphere for a moment, and then continued.
“He probably sees the present human race as more of a beast than an advancing being.”
“A beast?”
Aiden nodded his head in response to Yang Gwang’s question.
“okay. He sees humans so low. I think we have to go further than that.”
Then, as if he suddenly remembered something important, he stood out and looked at Yuhan-wol and said:
“ah… ! Bruce is an atheist. He is religious… It completely denies the existence of God.”
that is unacceptable.
“Why?”
Aiden answered Yuhanwol’s question.
“He is a god… Because I think it is an illusion created by human weakness.”

three powers.
authority.
wealth.
and… strength.
Power and wealth can be communicated.
It is limited to achieve full wealth with power, but if you achieve complete power, wealth will naturally follow.
The same goes for wealth.
Financial power that goes beyond the imagination of others is nothing less than a powerful power.
look down on me
power in both hands.
wealth, and power.
Successive victories in business earned them both.
But not enough.
What I don’t have yet… A completely different kind of power.
strength.
By establishing a pharmaceutical company, he has broadened the path to the realm of human life.
To have the most absolute power.
To become a real superman.
This pure feeling wriggling in my heart.
craving.
The most honest and primitive desire of man is the will to power.
The will to power is the desire to become stronger in the end.
The will to seek power.
The pursuit of power is the true essence of life, and Nietzsche calls a human being who perseveres in this path a superman.
He fundamentally denied God.
A superman is a being who goes beyond the negation to the positivity of difference.
Humans are nothing great.
Humans are merely beings between the beast and the superman.
I realized.
In this age of self-proclaiming that humans are great, humans are never great.
Humanity’s existence on this earth was truly a short, fleeting moment.
It’s just that he’s just escaping from the beast, and he’s more like a beast than a superman.
It is nothing more than a dangerous existence that never knows when it will disappear.
The same is true of the wealth and power that I have dedicated my life to.
Whoo… …
Among the beastlike human nature, the most instinctive and terrifying is,
Making idols and serving them.
And it goes on and on.
The psychology of wanting to depend on something and wanting to be dominated.
Why?
Why make idols?
Why do you worship idols?
because it is weak.
Because he admires power.
Because he didn’t have that power yet.
so,
To escape a human, to become a superman,
It must have the same power as God.
You have to be a being with that kind of power.
Only then can man be freed from the beast.
Free soul.
A self-sufficient being without idols.
self-advancing.
Ubermensch.

“Isn’t it fun?”
“… yes?”
In response to Yang Gwang’s response to his absurd remarks, Aiden said.
“He is an atheist. There is no God.”
He continued talking while looking at Yuhan-wol.
“By the way, aren’t you a priest born out of a project he made?”
“… … ”
The rest of the muffled words flowed out of Aiden’s mouth, as if to himself.
“It is a battle between those who do not believe in God and those who believe in God… ”
