In the Endgame Speech, he reiterates his viewpoints by saying that the traditional morals of not murdering, not deceiving others, not stealing, and remaining faithful are lies used by the weak to defend themselves, and that survival of the fittest is the only truth, which he considers the Shadow Empire's duty to show the world.
