"Such feminine nonsense!"

One of the most preturbing phenomena one has to encounter in present day society is from those who would remove the elements of nourishment from a meal by a need to over-refine it. By "meal", I mean intellectual meal -- that is, the nourishment for the soul.

You can see what they've already done with Nietzshe's philosophy, with the philosophy of one who insisted on the plurality of "gods". They've reduced it to a blueprint for the male (however he might appear in the world) as the absolute default for godliness. "Let there be no god, other than this ideological default, the male who by virtue of being born male is the one."

It's a sorry state of affairs, because most males are entirely valueless on the basis of their simple maleness. Therefore, the blueprint that is supposed to produce the raised status to the level of being godlike is based purely on anatomical function. The male rises and falls on the basis of his anatomical function, according to these interpreters of Nietzsche. However, generally, his anatomical function can be disregarded as less than godlike. There is really little to it, in and of itself. This means that the one God that the present day Nietzsche- followers have set up for us to praise and worship is really a poor example of anything intrinsically interesting and worthwhile.

The ideology of "oneness" has a lot to answer for. It can also have a very negative effect when it comes to communicating the full complexity of human experience. It's very difficult to do so through the mediating screen that turns every idea into a feature of oneness (whether in terms of one identity, one "soul", or one system of values.)

Suppose I go bungee jumping and report the experience thus:

"I tell you, my feet felt as if to slip through my head. It was the most unusual thing!'

The idea of phenomenological strangeness ought not to be too difficult to understand, especially if the description is understood within its context of the adventure of the bungee jump, (along with the cultural understanding of what a bungee jump is, and the psychological understanding that some people do things just for the sense of thrill.)

Yet you will meet those who struggle to reconcile such a description with their own sense of what a human being is, within a postulated system of oneness.

"People's feet don't slip through their heads," they will pronounce, with a preturbed look upon their faces.
