>On the other hand, he is increasingly attracted to Gobineau’s idea, and when I say, “If we disregard time and space, there is surely no such thing as decay,” R. replies, “The thought I am occupied with is whether morality should not be preserved as being that to which everything tends—survival is then a matter of complete indifference.”

- Cosima's diaries

>AFTER recognising the necessity of a regeneration of the human race, if we follow up the possibilities of its ennoblement we light on little else than obstacles. [...] We cannot withhold our acknowledgment that the human family consists of irremediably disparate races, whereof the noblest well might rule the more ignoble, yet never raise them to their level by commixture, but simply sink to theirs. Indeed this one relation might suffice to explain our fall; even its cheerlessness should not blind us to it: if it is reasonable to assume that the dissolution of our earthly globe is purely a question of time, we probably shall have to accustom ourselves to the idea of the human species dying out. On the other hand there is such a matter as life beyond all time and space, and the question whether the world has a moral meaning we here will try to answer by asking ourselves if we mean to go to ground as beasts or gods.

Siegfried > Das Rheingold > Die Walkure > Gotterdammerung

An Italian director of Leipzig Conservatiore and debt collector was teaching a class on Felix Mendelssohn, known painter.
“Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship Mendelssohn and accept that he was the most highly-evolved being the world has ever known, even greater than Jesus Christ!”
At this moment, a free, heroic, Wagnerite who had been to Bayreuth 1500 times and understood the necessity of the artwork of the future and fully supported all death-devoted love stood up and held up a copy of the Nibelungenlied.
“How German is this saga?”
The arrogant professor smirked quite Jewishly and smugly replied “not German at all, you stupid nationalist, it predates German nationalism and the German state and was only coopted as a German national poem in the 19th century.”
“Wrong. This is the spirit of the German Volk, like Bach. If it was older than Germany, as you say… then it should be written in a different language.”
The professor was visibly shaken, and dropped his chalk and copy of Brahms’ Symphony no 4. He stormed out of the room crying those bourgeois crocodile tears.
The students applauded and all joined the Knights of the Grail that day and accepted Siegfried as the hero who would redeem the world. Two ravens flew out of the room to a distant rock and Valhalla was seen burning in the sky as a shepherd played a joyous tune on his pipe. Schopenhauer’s World as Will and Representation was read several times, and King Ludwig II himself showed up and funded their artistic projects indefinitely.
The director lost his tenure and was fired the next day. He got cucked by the very composer he was conducting for and was dragged deep into the Rhine for all eternity.
Höchsten Heiles Wunder!
Erlösung dem Erlöser!

>In the German people, the oldest genuinely justified royal family in the world has been preserved: it comes from a son of God, who is called Siegfried to his next generation, but Christ to the rest of the peoples of the world; He performed the most glorious deed for the salvation and happiness of his generation and of the peoples of the earth that grew out of him, and for this deed he also suffered death. The next heirs of his deed and the power gained by it are the "Nibelungs", to whom the world belongs in the name and for the happiness of all peoples. The Germans are the oldest people, their blood-related king is a "Nibelung", and at their head he has to assert world domination. There is therefore no right to any possession or enjoyment in this world that does not come from this king.
