Before Schmitt, there was Nietzsche, Hölderlin, Kleist. They all faced the Kra. Nietzsche tried to harden himself thinking it was the Mill of Heaven.
Every modern man fights with the Kra, and it is on the verge of total victory.

"Cicero reports in his book On divination , he never wanted to follow the same route as the others, alleging that his daemon deterred him from doing so. Indeed, Socrates saved himself while everyone else was killed or taken by the adversary’s cavalry."
The Kra is the loss of the Daemon. Now this infinite reversal is destroying man. Absolute devastation.

Political discourse today is repeating your position over and over to wear down opponents, to eliminate them through moral exhaustion. It is the equivalent of the bad songs repeated on the radio until the audience accepts them.
What would Nietzsche think of Schmitt's Land and Sea?
In a sense, the English dealt with the 'uncanny wheelwork' hundreds of years before much of Europe. They became this wheelwork.
To look to the ports, not the sea, would be to miss the English, and the new nomos of the earth.

"God is dead. God's Mill remains."
Does Nietzsche leave the second part unstated? Does he hammer it again and again trying to weld himself to the wheel?

“The man who is free casts to earth that sort of despicable wellbeing that grocers, Christians, cows, women, the English and other democrats dream of” - Friedrich Nietzche
Nietzsche, do not, in the tarnished mirror of the English, lose sight of the despicable power.

Socrates Contra Nietzsche - Do not formalise the Muse!
Herder as interlocutor for Jünger and Heidegger - What Muse thinks? What Muse sees? Here Jünger stands with Clio, and Heidegger remains in the world of technique, a second memory – attempting to discern if the appearance of the Muse was real or not.

How to interpret any of the commentary here on Nietzsche: sword swings, side-stepping. Perhaps at times running away, as we do recognise his power.

Being vs Becoming
Quantus tremor est futurus - Actaeon Journal
Left and Right are mere standing-reserve of the Leviathan. Perhaps now not even this.
A paradox - Man can never be mere standing-reserve.
"On Sundays, holidays, there's naught I take delight in,
Like gossiping of war, and war's array,
When down in Turkey, far away,
The foreign people are a-fighting.
One at the window sits, with glass and friends,
And sees all sorts of ships go down the river gliding:
And blesses then, as home he wends
At night, our times of peace abiding."
That Turkey stands against Goethe is one of the great signs of an apocalyptic war.
This is what is missed in fears of world war, which can occur with or without nuclear weapons. The apocalyptic war stands apart from the technical use of nuclear weapons, or permanent incursions of peacekeepers.

Paradox - Nietzsche's Hammer is the same technique used by the Enlightenment. A tuning fork, or horse-blinders – everything comes into focus or is treated as the non-existing. Oftentimes this occurs in a single motion, like an injection machine. Through absolute power all non-value is destroyed, mediate value is made absolute- or non-value – history itself can be eliminated. 'It makes no difference if one conquers nations or lives as a flea.' One absolute is exchanged for another; the absolute arrives from the negative.
Here, only the valuisation process is different, and the real world power. The very method of the horse-blinders leaves behind moral decision – Nietzsche's method is moralistic in every movement, in every possibility. One begins to see nutritional choice as an eternal decision, the duty of a physiology unknown to us. Physics must be studied for ten years – just so that it may be left behind. Everything is known, an end; its value gives way to other ends.
One must also wonder at the extent and degree of such difference: which overvalue is the judgement of the age? And does the passage - where we may find only destruction - strengthen this value, or allow one to recover, be reborn? The question of being and nihilism is a certainty, it is the eternal question – the power increases to the degree of impossibility, to the degree that we have been left behind by it. This too is the question of tragedy, eschatology; all but one or two will be left behind.
Then, you must be certain it is you – I am I – – the judgement is already past. Here, for Nietzsche, the Eternal Return appears in line with Calvinist non-being. Creation of an eternal memory against unconditional election.
A rightful place is given to all things in impossibility.

Madness is always a danger. How did the Greeks find their way out of the chasms?
Perhaps the greater question – finding danger is simple.

With the end of the political there is no longer the possibility of concrete state power. The end of the political does not mean only the formal end of the constitution, but its very possibility as an active power. We can then only reverse Schmitt's decisionism. Declaration of an enemy is foolish where one cannot invoke an exception, and where one is not in a position of power. It is the act of anarchists and martyrs – figures which are also behind us. Today we can only work towards new ideas of sovereignty, study historical decisions, contemplate them martially.
At the same time, liberalism has only one enemy, namely, itself. Our greatest efforts in this non-political situation will open up this theological conflict. At times, this may mean standing completely apart, the abandonment of neutralising spaces. Then, at other times, with the power of total reversal we will to sweep in, remind men of the precipice at the very end – we give them only two choices: widen the chasm, or step in.
Political eschatology demands greater care than any movement in history. We will need to find myriads of Empedocles figures, and a volcano for each one.
