I added the forum link to the previous post.

Well, my definition of Power is not set in stone. The post I quote from the other forum is simply quoting and analyzing Nietzsche's book Will to Power....

A fair point. I will try to make the time to read The World as Will and Representation.

Thanks Pompey Bum for your interesting thoughts! I also haven't read any of Schopenhauer's books and base my views on lectures and other introductory material. I have acquired a somewhat different...

I would actually prefer to chat about the concept of power as I defined it in OP, not take part in racist degradation of other ethnic groups.
