In this case, do each of those alternatives only exist long enough to determine its inferiority? Or do those imaginations linger? I guess what I'm asking is if each alternative world continues to follow that course of action or is it that at each cross-road, alternative worlds are temporarily considered and then vanish as soon as a decision is made? I think Nietzsche's ideas that people are inherently selfish actually make a lot of sense. Why selflessness is a cultural value is actually far more curious to me. I understand your concern with Nietzsche's philosophy being overly simplistic. However, I will reiterate what I said in class in regards to this notion - Sometimes we have to simplify life to a mere analogy (the microcosm) so that we may gain some understanding of it that we can then apply to the greater macrocosm.
