Self-Overcoming isn't a victory
Self-overcoming isn’t a heroic ascent,it’s a constant undoing. The “self” isn’t stable; it’s just a temporary arrangement of competing drives. To overcome oneself is not to become stronger in any final sense, but to reorganize what one is under a new perspective.
The will to power, then, is less about domination and more about internal creation,an aesthetic reshaping. But every achieved form risks becoming rigid, even dogmatic, which means true becoming demands its own destruction. The danger of nihilism isn’t a flaw here—it’s the condition that makes genuine self-overcoming possible.
