Heres the scene; an A level student busy at work on his psychology assignment at 2 in the morning, having left it to the last minute. Of course, being bored with writing about how Freud believes humanity's sole desire is sex, he interrupts his work with a little browsing on the good ol' World Wide Web.
"Humm, now, im in a Xenosaga mood...i'll go check out some sites. Ohh? 'The will to power' eh? Sounds pretty cool, who was the guy that made that theory..."
Nietzche's controversial theory soon found its way into the assignment, stating that Freud was wrong, and that if there was a theory that generalised humanity, it was more likely to be Nietzches.
The reasoning behind it? Well, if mankind strives to gain power, then one of the ways in which they can do so is in reproduction, so as to pass on their DNA, thus making Freud's theory obsolete, therefore, Nietzches theory generalises humanity more efficiently.
Doubtful, the A weary A-level student handed the assignment in the next day, strongly believing that he had digressed a little too much from the main objective(as he does when he's tired), and feared the results.
A week passes, and what do we have? An assignment with an AA* grade and several lines of aprroving comments.
"Wow, i was worried that i waffled on quite a bit in that" - Student.
"Dont worry, thats what psychology is about" - Teacher

That's pretty good, and sounds coherent.
I'll create a thread about Nietzsche later.
His will shines with such wondrous light... - Xenosaga
