I haven't but I used to buy the big bags of pigs ears for my dog at
Sam's and a case of inexpensive red wine. At checkout I got looks and
would raise one eyebrow and say "sauteed up in red wine, they are
delicious!"... I hope nobody actually took me seriously... or maybe I
should lament that I never tried it myself?

Materials and energy for body growth and metabolic processes is what
biologic entities seek out. The kind of body you grow from a diet
balanced in all types of nutrition differs from the kind you build from
a narrow diet focused specifically on "easy calories". I don't know
if that applies in this analogy.. are there different kinds
(qualitatively) of wisdom and knowledge as there with healthy/unhealthy
bodies/organs?
The Nazis sure seemed to like Neitzchean "Wisdom"... or at least
Knowledge? Which lead me to review his perspective on Master/Slave
morality: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master%E2%80%93slave_morality .
Following his logic, it would appear that if there ever *was* a true
example of "nobility" in the Master, we sure don't see any of that today
that I can find. Pick virtually any world leader (Master) and I doubt
you will see much "Nobility". The likes of Ghandi, Mandela, the Dalai
Lama, and maybe today's Pope, or (maybe?) JFK might qualify... but
Drumpf? Hillary and Billary? I wanted to see Nobility in Obama, and I
still see glimpses of it in his personal affect, but can't see it in so
many of his leadership decisions.
Of course, I suspect the Master/Slave duality itself is deeply flawed or
misguided.
