What were Nietzsche's thoughts on truth? How do your witticisms have any basis in a reality that is merely a
>conceptual crap game "truth" means using every die in the designated manner, counting its spots accurately, fashioning the right categories, and never violating the order of caste and class rank. Just as the Romans and Etruscans cut up the heavens with rigid mathematical lines and confined a god within each of the spaces thereby delimited, as within a templum, so every people has a similarly mathematically divided conceptual heaven above themselves and henceforth thinks that truth demands that each conceptual god be sought only within his own sphere.
At least the Christian conceptual god allows for a structure in which to engage with dialectical pursuits of reason and logical metaphors to pursue truth. Writing a clever one-liner could have an ontological basis of truth! Otherwise endlessly being a clever reductionist feels so pitifully small to the potential instilled by Nietzsche.
I find too many of Nietzsche's followers to be tag-alongs that cling to his coat tails in order to feel a sense of superiority over others. Nietzsche's will to power metaphysic solely becomes an insular conceptual system in which to scorn and deride others as inferior and deluded. But this is to promulgate... what? That's a personal question only you can answer.

Nietzsche's philosophy has become a petty game. I hope the ubermensch, if such a construct could exist, would be so terribly tyrannical and willful that all of Nietzsche's sycophants would beg for his downfall. I hope, as a saving grace before they were trampled beneath his tread, the sycophants could laugh at themselves.
