Gerd Held: Zwischen Hysterie und Hybris – Unzeitgemäße Gedanken zur „Klima-Rettung“

Höchst empfehlenswert! 

Held u.a. Benutzt ein tolles Zitat von Nietzsche aus Jenseits von Gut und Böse!
So you want to live 'according to nature?' Oh, you noble Stoics, what a fraud is in this phrase! Imagine something like nature, profligate without measure, indifferent without measure, without purpose and regard, without mercy and justice, fertile and barren and uncertain at the same time, think of indifference itself as power — how could you live according to this indifference? Living — isn't that wanting specifically to be something other than this nature? Isn't living assessing, preferring, being unfair, being limited, wanting to be different? And assuming your imperative to 'live according to nature' basically amounts to 'living according to life' — well how could you not? Why make a principle out of what you yourselves are and must be?”

It is very strange to me that Wikquote (https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Beyond_Good_and_Evil) does not have the original German quote for this not even the German language version of this article)
