live in a cabin in the woods in total isolation, become an object like the trees or the stones. Things have no need for respect, from others, no disposition towards others. They exist, as they are, without self doubt, unattached to their fate. It is only in our social existence that we imagine ourselves as subjects to the opinions of the other, or to ourselves. Self doubt emerges only from the hubris of assuming we are the kind of thing to be judged in the first. The sovereign man exists before judgement, he does not judge and the judgements of others literally do not exist to him for he has yet to bow his head to them.
