Shortcuts: WP:BG&E WP:Beyond Good and Evil

This page in a nutshell: Wikipedia is/should be beyond good and evil.

• Morality is only a concern for paper and CD encyclopedias.
• Rule-based morality is beneath the concern of Wikipedia, as expressed by WP:IAR.
• Wikipedia should become an over-encyclopedia.

• By its will to power, manifested creatively in overcoming nihilism and re-evaluating old ideals or creating new ones.
• By its will to power, manifested destructively in the rejection of, and rebellion against, societal ideals and moral codes.
• By a continual process of self-overcoming.

• This policy does not in any way override pre-existing policies such as WP:NPOV, WP:CITE, or WP:NOT.
