[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 7635109, member: 6802378"] The master-slave morality is good for antagonist characters in the fiction, but it is too dangerous for main characters, or PCs in a RPG. Playing bad guys may be fun, but we should take care. Fiction or reality we can't forget we have to defend the respect of the human dignity. The saga of "song of ice and fire", Game of Thrones, is a good example of innocent people suffering because noble houses have forgotten the mercy. Joffrey Baratheon or Ramsay Bolton are good examples of "Übermensch" without that "slave morality" about mercy. If we don't want supremacists or like this in the geek community or the rest of the real life, then we have to send to the trash Nietzsche's ideas and social darwinism and recover the true moral value like the natural law. And we should remember the oppressed later may become the oppressor, like Tleilaxu women in the Frank Herbert's Dune saga. Marcus Tullius Cicero said: [SIZE=3][COLOR=#333333][FONT='inherit']"There exists a law, not written down anywhere but inborn in our hearts; a law which comes to us not by training or custom or reading but by derivation and absorption and adoption from nature itself; a law which has come to us not from theory but from practice, not by instruction but by natural intuition. I refer to the law which lays it down that, if our lives are endangered by plots or violence or armed robbers or enemies, any and every method of protecting ourselves is morally right".[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
