[[:|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 outmoded paper 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 anyway way override pre-existing policies such as WP:NPOV, WP:CITE, or WP:NOT.
