"God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Yet his shadow still looms. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?" -Friedrich Nietzsche


^ We have murdered our God's because we (rightly) came to understand that by this very act were to become their superiors. The "Will to power" (the most fundamental force in the human psyche) always demanded that this must one day come to pass, we were always destined to outlive our fairy tales.
However given our God's now lie dead at our feet the same "Will to power" demands of us a stark choice...

We can stare forever into the abyss of meaninglessness we have created in their place.....
or
We can fill that void with the only meaningful entity that remains, ourselves!

We have killed the God's, now WE must take their place. The "Ubermenschen" are simply those Human's who have attained such a mastery of their own minds that the left hemisphere of the brain (where logic & rational thought occur) has complete assess and control of the right (where the God's & spirit/emotions/inspiration live).

This is why I would never call myself an Atheist but rather a post-modern Gnostic. The God's & spirits did exist to us in every sense that matters, all we changed was our relationship to them. Instead of being their slaves we are now their masters, and we can command them to do whatsoever we please.
Or to put it another way, we became masters of our own reality when we killed our tyrannical God's, now it's time for us to exercise this new found power. (Novus Ordo Mundi! ;-) )

Its simular how to how the top sim racers could probably beat allot of the profesoinal drivers out there.
Racing sims help you to get to know the track and your lines, but this is complete BS. Have you ever been in a race car? It's a completely different experience than a racing sim.
The only "gamer" to turn pro was Lucas Ordoñez. He was already an amateur racer, and it still took ~1 year of training. If you think you can take the best sim racer with no actual track experience, dump him in a real car for a month or two and expect them to do well, you are ridiculous.


I haven't driven a Race car , but I know people that do sim racing who have jumped into cars and beaten people by over 1/2 second on a national level .

I would not describe sim racers as "gamers" there are at least 20 sim racers that would probably beat 70% of drivers out racing today , if they were given 6 months. ITS PURELY DOWN TO COST.

GT3 although probably the best console bassed "sims" , is pretty shit when compared to the top pc simulators intemrs of getting feal , But the fact is anything below GP2 , star Mazda , is so fucking slow and non reactive a talented sim racer would have absaluty no issues racing to a high level.

obvously u have allot of shit sim racers , but there are allot of people that are better than the majority of real world race drivers excluded purely by cost. ( I follow all the driving schooler ship programs and events allwing sim racers or noobs to get into a real race car , and so far nearly all of them are a scam to ethor milk money out of people or purely a promotoinal tool for a game developer and dont actualy lead to annything of anny sugnificance

The delusions of godhood have been going on for some 233 years now,
emblazoned on The Great Seal of the U.S.:

E pluribus unum "Out of Many, One"
Novus ordo seclorum "New Order of the Ages"
Annuit cœptis "He approves our undertakings"

That last "He" refers to God.

When will the rest of the world finally stand up to US tyranny.
