/AGON OF THE SOUL/
Evola
"The fundamental principle underlying all justifications of war, from the point of view of the human personality, is 'heroism.' War, it is said, offers man the opportunity to awaken the hero who sleeps within him. War breaks the routine of comfortable life; through its severe trials, it offers a transfiguring knowledge of life, of life according to death. The moment in which the individual succeeds in living as a hero, even if it is the final moment of his earthly life, weighs infinitely more in the scale of values than a prolonged existence spent monotonously consuming among the trivialities of the cities. From a spiritual point of view, these possibilities compensate for the negative and destructive tendencies of war, which are one-sidedly and tendentiously highlighted by pacifist materialism. War makes one realize the relativity of human life and therefore also the law of a "more than life," and therefore war always has an anti-materialistic value, a spiritual value."

"The best leaders and the best teams don’t wait to act. Instead, understanding the strategic vision or commander’s intent, they aggressively execute to overcome obstacles, capitalize on immediate opportunities, accomplish the mission, and win."

/THE MOUNTAIN/
Bowden on Evola as a Mountaineer
“The bourgeois view is why do that? It’s dangerous, it’s pitiless, you could be hurt and injured, there is no profit, it serves no higher reason than itself
For Evola the reason, the purpose is the reason to do it and it is the stages that you go through and the mental stage that you get into as you prepare and you execute a task which is dangerous.”

"Rather than passively waiting to be told what to do, Default: Aggressive leaders proactively seek out ways to further the strategic mission. They understand the commander’s intent, and where they have authority to do so, they execute."

/THE BEAUTIFUL/
Nietzsche
“Everything ugly weakens and afflicts man. It recalls decay, danger, impotence; he actually suffers a loss of energy in its presence. The effect of the ugly can be measured with a dynamometer. Whenever man feels in any way depressed, he senses the proximity of something ‘ugly’. His feeling of power, his will to power, his courage, his pride - they decline with the ugly, they increase with the beautiful.”
