"Message the show"What is power? Is it dominance over others, or something deeper—an intrinsic force woven into the very fabric of life itself? Nietzsche famously declared that “life as such is will to power.” But what does that really mean?In this episode, we explore power beyond human ambition, tracing its organic expressions in nature, biology, and physiology. From the survival struggles of animals to the hedonic escalation that drives human motivation, power is not just about control—it’s about growth, transformation, and the relentless push of life itself.This week, we dissect:🔥 How power manifests beyond human psychology—in the very mechanics of life.🔍 The instinctive drives behind survival, reproduction, and expansion.🐅 Why competition, consumption, and even symbiosis are all expressions of power in a ruthless power economy.⚡ What power actually is: Powerful to whom? Powerful, why?We will also reveal one of Nietzsche’s most surprising claims that will unveil something crucial to understanding the nature of the driving force of life: the world as will to power and nothing else.Join us as we break down the fundamental dynamic of existence itself!Music: Rausch 5 by GasBandcampSpotifyAppleSupport the showIf you value Will to Joy (formerly Becoming Übermensch) and you want more, please ensure its continued existence by supporting the show If you are interested in delving deeper into this work and are hungry for greater challenges, I also now have a Patreon.
