The riddle of man in the world can be stated very simply: the world is not human, and vice versa, man is not worldly. Yet, the challenge of this most fundamental contact is the most human of all, and sure enough, the most worldly of all. Actually, intelligence literally means inter-connection, or inter-relation, that is, the definition itself of the world as cosmos, whole order or uni-verse. Precisely, at the root of the paradox is the actuality of oneness and wholeness in the world, and the challenge of man is then to become, too, one and whole in the world. On the other hand, sure enough, the intelligence of man differs from the intelligence of the world in being strictly uni-versal. But is not thus, exactly, how the world becomes uni-versal itself? Is not this the sense or place of man in the world?
In short, the world needs uni-versal intelligence as archetypally instanced in man. Or as stated by Friedrich Nietzsche, nature needs knowledge. But then, also adds Nietzsche, it is horrified at the knowledge it actually needs; and so the flame flickers unsteadily, trembling, as it were, out of fear of itself, and seizes upon a thousand things before seizing upon that thing on whose account nature needs knowledge at all. Because knowledge, or uni-versal intelligence is, after all, not the basic intelligence of the world, but its ultimate statement of oneness and wholeness. Thus the challenge is not only human, but worldly too. It's the universal evolution of the world towards its completeness, and man is only a bridge to this ultimate fullness of the world.
The overman is the meaning of the earth, says Nietzsche's Zarathustra, or man as currently is, must be over-come. The universal mind must then be conceived and developed through the human mind, even now.
