We arrive at perhaps the central theme Nietzsche has been building towards - the Will to Power. That life is not trying to survive but rather to thrive is the key argument he makes.

That life force is motivating and shaping in every moment fundamentally alters the notion of a disinterested observer working within the framework of perfect reason to derive the Truth about the world.
