How do I increase my power?

[Anonymous No.17725028]

Nietzsche said that life is a drive for the increase in power. I read both of his books on that topic and am yet to understand how does one actually begin to increase that power. What exactly should one do? Obviously he does not mean political power again but rather personal strength.

This isn't true. A successful will to power leads to political power (as long as political power actually has power).

Nietzsche wasn't a self-help author lmao. The superior are born superior and need no advice.

>"I have found strength where one does not look for it: in simple, mild, and pleasant people, without the least desire to rule—and, conversely, the desire to rule has often appeared to me a sign of inward weakness: they fear their own slave soul and shroud it in a royal cloak (in the end, they still become the slaves of their followers, their fame, etc.) The powerful natures dominate, it is a necessity, they need not lift one finger. Even if, during their lifetime, they bury themselves in a garden house!"

Educate yourself with more than Nietzsche (most obviously Plato) you nonce, otherwise you wont have understood him in the first place.

Knowledge is power, fool. Why else might one read all of these philosophy books anyway.

Why did he bother writing then faggot?

You can manifest will to power however you want, starting a family, a business, a political career, or just saying fuck you to society and living the ascetic life. It’s the inner strength and confidence that allows you to dominate your environment.

Nietzsche's will to power is more ontological than that.

Don’t let anyone else tell you what you “should” do, the will to power is inner “I should”, you already know what it is.
