Community Guidelines

Fostering a Thriving Übermensch Community

Our Community Ethos

As aspiring Übermenschen, we strive to create a community that embodies the highest ideals of personal growth, intellectual rigor, and mutual respect. These guidelines are not rigid rules, but principles to help us navigate our interactions and foster an environment conducive to self-overcoming and collective advancement.

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Friedrich Nietzsche

1. Embrace Intellectual Challenge

We encourage robust debate and the challenging of ideas. However, attack the idea, not the person. Engage in discussions with the intent to learn and grow, not to prove others wrong or assert dominance.

2. Practice Radical Honesty

Speak your truth, but do so with compassion. We value authenticity and directness, but remember that the goal is mutual growth, not unnecessary harm.

3. Respect Individual Journeys

Each member of our community is on their own path to self-overcoming. Respect the diversity of experiences and perspectives, and offer support rather than judgment.

4. Contribute Meaningfully

Whether in discussions, events, or creative projects, strive to add value to the community. Quality of contribution matters more than quantity.

5. Embrace Responsibility

Take ownership of your words and actions. If you make a mistake, acknowledge it and learn from it. We value growth over perfection.

6. Foster Creativity

Encourage and celebrate creative expression in all its forms. Art, writing, music, and other creative endeavors are vital to our community's growth and self-expression.

7. Maintain Confidentiality

Respect the privacy of fellow community members. What's shared in our spaces stays in our spaces, unless explicit permission is given.

8. Challenge Dogma

Question everything, including these guidelines and the teachings of Nietzsche himself. We are here to create new values, not to blindly follow existing ones.

9. Practice Self-Care

Remember that the journey to becoming an Übermensch requires a strong mind and body. Take care of your physical and mental health, and encourage others to do the same.

10. Embody the Will to Power

Strive to become the best version of yourself and inspire others to do the same. Use your growing strength and wisdom to lift up the community as a whole.

Enforcement and Conflict Resolution

These guidelines are enforced through community self-regulation and, when necessary, moderation by community leaders. In cases of conflict:

  1. Attempt to resolve issues directly and respectfully with the involved parties.
  2. If direct resolution fails, seek mediation from a respected community member.
  3. For serious violations, community leaders may intervene with actions ranging from warnings to temporary or permanent removal from the community.

Remember, the goal is always growth and improvement, not punishment.

Conclusion

By adhering to these guidelines, we create a space where each individual can strive towards becoming an Übermensch while contributing to a community that elevates all its members. Let us challenge each other, support one another, and together forge a path towards a higher form of humanity.

"The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently." - Friedrich Nietzsche
