Bad Note 0.1

“The pathos of nobility and distance, as I said, the continuing and predominant feeling of complete and fundamental superiority of a higher ruling kind in relation to a lower kind, to those ‘below’ that is the origin of the antithesis ‘good’ and ‘bad.’” [Friedrich Nietzsche, On the Genealogy of Morality, ed. Keith Ansell-Pearson, trans. Carol Diethe (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2011), p. 12.] The bad, then, is that which stays humble, stays low to the ground.
