The Latin malus ["bad") (beside which I set melas ["black"]) may designate the common man as the dark-colored, above all as the black-haired man ("hie niger est-"), as the pre-Aryan occupant of the soil of Italy who was distinguished most obviously from the blond, that is Aryan, conqueror race by his color; Gaelic, at any rate, offers us a precisely similar case- fin (for example in the name Fin-Gal), the distinguished word for nobility, finally for the good, noble, pure, originally meant the blond-headed, in contradistinction to the dark, black-haired aboriginal inhabitants.

What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "The Latin malus ["bad") (beside which I set melas ["black"]) may designate the common man as the dark-colored, above all as the black-haired man ("hie niger est-"), as the pre-Aryan occupant of the soil of Italy who was distinguished most obviously from the blond, that is Aryan, conqueror race by his color; Gaelic, at any rate, offers us a precisely similar case- fin (for example in the name Fin-Gal), the distinguished word for nobility, finally for the good, noble, pure, originally meant the blond-headed, in contradistinction to the dark, black-haired aboriginal inhabitants." in the context of "Friedrich Nietzsche, Genealogy of Morals, quoted in Lincoln, Bruce (1999), Theorizing Myth: Narrative, Ideology, and Scholarship, Chicago and London: The University of Chicago Press., p 104-5" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
