Nietzschean striving vs. the sinkhole of indifference

[Asolsutsesvyl]

Asolsutsesvyl,  isn’t it interesting that Kubrick decided to use richard strauss  Also sprach Zarathustra for the opening clip of the stone in space odyssey? ...

I had a listen to and read a bit about it, and the "sunrise" theme for that opening part of the music stuck out, as related to the beginning, or birth, of something. The 2001 beginning shows a hidden mysterious beginning for the human drama. As for Zarathustra, his theme in the beginning of the book is that of a new beginning, like a new sunrise, but in relation to 2001, the humans of the world are then perhaps more like the apes at the beginning of 2001.
