Black Rose
An unbreakable bond
Going back to working memory. I am able to think only a few things at the same time. But what I can do is still in my control. I know that having more things in my control would be preferable but only because it leaves less room to chance. If I was pushed to the limit of my abilities it would be preferable to doing nothing with high ability. Wasting one's life is always bad. But being unable to accomplish due to low ability is just as bad.
Will to power is a medium spot. Optimum control for the environment.
But control of the environment is not what Nietzsche had in mind. It was the control of the mind. Introversion that he was thinking of. To be satisfied with the inner world. That would be where ultimate control resides. This is what he held in high regard when referring to Buddhist meditation as will to power.
Nietzsche was an introvert so control of the internal was privileged to the external.
Because reproduction is all that matters to a biological organism, resources are the most valued. This could be a dominating faction when it comes to the will but only if reproduction is the goal. Humans have higher goals because nihilism states death is a loss of all so reproduction is not satisfactory as a goal. Who cares what your legacy is once your dead. But life is better lived so the will must satisfy life and power of will not resources.
What satisfies the will is what Life must be lived for because it is the only life.
So inner control is necessary.
