As a way of promoting a Facebook Fan Page and innovating new cultural goals and new morality, I'd like to host a $500 Facebook Contest.

Contestants would upload a 90 to 120 second speech in which they explain what they are doing or plan to do to challenge the cultural goals and methods of society and impose their own values unto society through their life, developing intellectual power, strength of character and will, independence, passion, taste, and physique toward a highly-cultured, tolerant out of strength, life-affirming society never seen before.

People would vote to determine the winner of the $500 contest.

What do you think? Is this easily understandable to the layman or does this need to be simplified? I don't want people to get the wrong idea, my brother said I sound like Ras Al Ghul or Bane from the Batman movies...that's not what I'm going for.

Most fields of study and paths do not question the system that they operate in.

Just to try this out....

through their life - don't be normal
developing intellectual power - keep learning
strength of character and will - keep alert and make sure to tell the appropriate people to f off
independence - have a big savings and no debt
passion - stick to things I'm interested in
taste - only eat good food?
physique toward a highly-cultured... - go to the gym a lot?

One thing though... you expect the average person to have their "own values"? I'd expect them to have normal values for their culture... the very thing you are trying to make them rise above?

I refined this a bit.

This is supposed to be slightly humorous as well as serious:



As a way of promoting my page and infusing innovation into the lifeblood of society, I hereby announce the 1st Annual "Becoming a Nietzschean Overman" contest.


How do you add or plan to add meaning to people's lives and reinvigorate the human race? Society and humanity are to be overcome, if not by you, then by someone else. Give us a 90 to 180 second video explaining how you are bestowing your own values unto society through your life; developing intellectual power, strength of character and will, independence, passion, and tast;, personifying Nietzche's idea becoming a life-affirming overman among men forging your own cultural values, morality, goals, and methods to be adopted by society.

Winner will be decided by vote. The winner of the contest will receive $500 through paypal.

How's that?
