Beyond master and slave

Mask and Sleep

I wrote more extensively having had several insights during the reading of "Beyond Good and Evil." and most of these seemed to fall into dual categories, that were connected to each other to form a whole.

Mask is an idea of performing politics and rule behind a veil, without access to everyone. Even in modern democratic system there is rule without representation in some aspects(plans for the economic projects, public relations schemes, appeal to majoritarian whim).
That rule has principles which often necessitate a secrecy to their nature wo that their effect would not be influenced by their method or the number of those wielding that method.

Sleep is an idea of the majority of people sleeping through life guided by their drives and habits and accepting the life at the value of the mask without questioning them, or even observing them. The proposition is that people are lured to unawareness by the majority. Ritual Addiction Syndrome seems lend the support for this depiction of societies.

Superpower and superwill
Another duality behind the two moralities. Superwill is benevolence and a pursuit to overcome selfishness, the way I define it. Superpower is supremacy a power that reaches further and more than any other agent of power.
