Hm, glancing online some,
Martin Eden's 'strength seems to have led to isolation and self destruction?

An inability to interact with society in a healthy manner, can be bad for humans, social beings that we tend to be.

I cant really tell without spoiling the book completely. The main plot twist in the book is him changing his opinion on almost everything he knew. Thats how much I will say.

I imagine it will be replaced by a new penny. Perhaps one made of a cheaper metal.

And we shall call the new penny. . . The nickel.

Blue cheese 'does look awful moldy.

People sometimes quote sentences spoken in different languages,
But quote it in translation, rather than quoting it 'in the original language.
Doesn't seem quite proper.

Could one then quote a sentence in the same language, but alter the words to what the person 'meant?
Doesn't seem right.

"Nietzsche was right. I won't take the time to tell you who Nietzsche was, but he was right. The world belongs to the strong - to the strong who are noble as well and who do not wallow in the swine-trough of trade and exchange. The world belongs to the true nobleman, to the great blond beasts, to the noncompromisers, to the 'yes-sayers."
That was a good pick.

I used to be a fan of Nietzsche.
I do combine many ideas to form an opinion, but Will to Power does say it very simply. I dont think there was ever anyone else who refuted world's morality in such a simple way, with just few words: power is everything.

How did Nietzsche view Jesus?
Nietzsche's scepticism toward the Christ of the Gospels stemmed precisely from the fact that he knew the portrayal of Jesus—as powerful through love, sacrifice, and righteousness—fundamentally contradicted his ideal of power, which is expressed through domination and transcending personal limitations.

If there’s no 1-cent coin to replace the penny, I’m not a fan.

They are two different values.
A penny is 1 cent. A nickel is 5 cents.

Great choice of a sport. Granted I am inherently biased because of the Blackhawks success but I love hockey

1. Hockey playoffs are easily the best playoffs out of all of the Big Four sports. Major upsets, lots of passion, etc.
2. Hockey organization have to better allocate funds with a hard cap. This means big market teams don't get an unfair advantage because of it
3. The top stars in hockey tend to not leave and stay long term with teams. This promotes the draft and actually taking talent. Even if you look at the best team, like the Panthers, 80% of their talent was developed in their system. The only people they traded for were Tkachuk and Bobrovsky, and even then the Tkachuk trade was considered a major gamble because they gave up a 100+ point player in Johnny Huberdeau for a young prospect in Tkachuk and look how it played out. Teams that pay for their talent tend to fail, and fail hard.
4. Hockey players play for the love of the game and not for the financial compensation

I am personally a huge hockey fan. There are definetly some flaws but it is one of the best Big Four sports leagues

Interesting. I boycotted the Blackhawks after their locker room scandal from a few years ago.

Anyway, I’ve also stopped watching NASCAR. I’m done with that sport; the only way the sanctioning body will get its head out of its ass is if it goes all the way through and dies, like a reverse ouroboros.

Did you watch Canada beat USA?

Who won the 4 Nations Face-Off?
McDavid, Canada defeat U.S. in OT to win 4 Nations Face-Off ...
Canada
Connor McDavid scored 8:18 into overtime, and Canada won its fourth consecutive best-on-best international tournament, defeating the United States 3-2 in the championship game of the 4 Nations Face-Off at TD Garden on Thursday.

It is the American people’s 1st Amendment right to lie and be heard.And that includes the President. Trump has lied  30573 over 4 years.
