Do I write out of love to men? No, I write because I want to procure for my thoughts an existence in the world; and, even if I foresaw that these thoughts would deprive you of your rest and your peace, even if I saw the bloodiest wars and the fall of many generations springing up from this seed of thought – I would nevertheless scatter it. Do with it what you will and can, that is your affair and does not trouble me. You will perhaps have only trouble, combat, and death from it, very few will draw joy from it. If your weal lay at my heart, I should act as the church did in withholding the Bible from the laity, or Christian governments, which make it a sacred duty for themselves to “protect the common people from bad books.”
But not only not for your sake, not even for truth’s sake either do I speak out what I think. No:
I sing as the bird sings
That on the bough alights;
The song that from me springs
Is pay that well requites.
I sing because – I am a singer. But I use [gebrauchen] you for it because I – need [brauche] ears.

Nice bait; you're saying literary tradition has devolved by growing into something that has the potential for much more complexity and consistency while still maintaining its ability to convey simple emotions. You are truly a rusemaster. You got me.

What does it mean to "move humanity forward"? Why is that my concern, and what does it entail?

Stay spooked, cuck.

>Away, then, with every concern that is not altogether my concern!
