Understanding Amy in reference to the theories of Nietzsche – Part 1

”Why not choose both the choices? Then you can never be wrong!”  

Amy Kay circa 2012, from The Koans of Kang

On the surface of this statement it may appear that Amy is pointing out the natural dichotomy of choice, whilst also showing that the nature of life is a series of never ending one way divergences leading ultimately to a futile fractionated existence.  By denying the construct of duality Amy is presenting the reader with a view into the world of nihilism and a way out of our myopic existence.  By subscribing to a single choice are we not limiting ourselves to a societal construct of duality?  Amy does not see choice, but CAUSE and EFFECT.

The second statement points readily to this by implying that “being wrong” is an inevitable outcome of such a selection, and that only by seeing the universe for what it is and denying the fanciful overlay of culture, can we truly come to a position whereby we accept that choice A and choice B are inherently meaningless, and that being wrong is itself an artificial state.

True freedom comes from peering into the void of meaningless and realising that there ARE no choices.  Right and Wrong are values overlayed upon outcomes by a decadent and declining society who seeks to apportion blame and value to every action and non-action derived by conscious beings.  Only by throwing off the shackles as has Amy Kang, can we wake up from the dream of society and culture, and truly start to LIVE.
