Juice: Will to Power and al-Kindi's Stellar Rays (Against Nietzsche, Part 1)

In this video, J Onwuka tries to thread the needle of the question of power as in Nietzsche's concept of "will to power". After a discussion of the differences between Foucault's and Nietzsche's ideas of power, we will get into a fairly esoteric treatment of what "power" is. "Juice" is a substitution concept which takes "will to power" from meaning "will to control" into meaning something much more like "will to influence". This is a first video of a planned series of five critiquing the thought of Nietzsche and it is by far the most esoteric, but it is also very much the first in the series. You'll see what I mean.
