Excerpt from “Why Knot?” Buy the book at Amazon

Nietzsche believed that after man would come superman, the culmination of evolution. But why should the process end with superman? Why not superduperman and supersuperduperman? Why sacrifice yourself for the benefit of a species that will only be another intermediate step?

Marx made a similar mistake. If history were indeed a dialectical process, why should that process ever end?
