Nietzsche's naturalistic concept of "spirit" in passages like Beyond Good & Evil, Part 7, Aphorism # 230, and his idea of the cosmic will to power is very similar to Taleb's idea of antifragility and Joseph Smith's spirit of intelligence or the Holy Spirit in early Mormonism. In Samantha Chambers excellent visual presentation of the early Mormon Godhead (see her summary illustration below), we see that the Holy Ghost as a personage of spirit and a member of the Godhead, is distinguished from the Holy Spirit: which is the omnipresent fluid spirit of intelligence, the supreme governing power as an omnipresent fluid substance or eternal essence, i.e. the omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent energy or grounding force of all materiality as the cosmic Mind of the Deity (per Lectures 2 and 5); which is akin to Carl Sagan's Meta-mind, for the fulness and glory of God is intelligence; as a material fluid energy, the ground of all Being, and the fullness of the divine nature of the Divine Species.

Nietzsche's "spiritual" will to power is described as an embodying force to power in humans, driving us to proactively discharge our power and grow our instincts to precision toward the expansion of the species; thus Nietzsche affirmed the drive to reproduce and affirmed the joys of sex and love and nuclear family creation without any shame (unlike the shaming ideas in Augustinian Christianity). So too, the original LDS theology emphasized the cultivation of human affections.
Also similar to Nietzsche's "spiritual" energy as the cosmic will to power, that is not survival-driven but expansion-driven, in original LDS theology the omnipresent fluid spirit of intelligence, the Holy Spirit, is an expanding power of plentitude: an expansion-driven energy that acts as what physicists calls dark energy or dark matter ("dark" just meaning mysterious). So that the Holy Spirit acts as a plausible world-picture; as a diffuse divine substance. This makes rational sense through religious metaphorical language because an atom is mostly empty space which is composed of “Dark” (i.e. Mysterious) Matter and Energy, as depicted below:
As one article explains modern science:
"Dark Energy," [or Mysterious Energy] … appears to be a sort of energy associated with empty space… it can be argued that we've already seen something analogous to "dark energy," that is, a change in the energy of electrons inside atoms due to energy in empty space.

So if we combine Mormon theology with today’s science, "dark energy" (meaning mysterious energy we are "in the dark about" in regards to fully understanding it) can reasonably be interpreted as the Holy Spirit (or Light of Christ) which causes our Universe to expand.
Pratt's "Great God," the Holy Spirit, gives a theological explanation for Dark Energy and Matter. It also fits my conclusion that the The Will to Glory is at the heart of Mormonism. As this slide-share mage puts it:
This article on how Everything is Matter by DonaMajicShow, points out how Mormon Naturalism actually makes sense of the current science more than other versions of Christianity.
The Holy Spirit organizes spirit matter to act upon other forms of matter (as Samantha Chambers explains in her slide share). The Holy Spirit, or God's expanding spiritual nature and being, seeks to literally fill up higher, more complex beings with light and truth and glorious power and fullness. This is described in the New Testament as the pneuma (pronounced nooma), literally filling people up with a divine liquid energy (as this podcast explains).
This ever expanding radiating force of light and power fuels souls to expand exaltation to exaltation, or strength to strength: as Thomas Dick put it in The Philosophy of a Future State (which influenced early LDS theology). So that the supreme governing power, this fluid spirit of intelligence infuses mankind with what I've coined the Call to Dominion: God's fusion into Man the call to embody God's divine image (God as a Kingly Man of War and a God of Love), making Man a royal Imager-bearer, called to conquer and subdue the elements (see Genesis 1:28), to act upon inert matter (not to be acted upon passively), and like God create order out of chaos.
This noomatic will to glory as the divine drive to thrive: to overcome, to move onward, upward and over, to grow and expand and climb the ladders of challenge toward exaltation upon exaltation; growing toward becoming a more luminous creative being, whose seed continues eternally.
This fluid substance, nooma, is also the omnipresent connecting energy in the great Chain of Belonging, uniting all past royally-lived lives that expanded via the seeds of our fathers. For just as our Universe expands and life seeks to grow and expand and reform itself evolutionarily, the spiritual drive to thrive, the spirit of intelligence, is also an expanding force of unifying power and creative becoming: that seeks to organize and unify spiritual forms into transforming expansions of themselves as intelligences that expand into mortals expanding into gods: by expanding in cosmic territory, godly status, and by partaking of the divine nature and thus are able to take part in the continuation of the lives, the fathering of souls (D&C 132: 63); which honors the Head God, the Father of lights, as the eternal lives expand His Kingdom and glory, as it is an extension of Himself, of His original Monogene; as His divine genome continues eternally and abundantly in this way; as all lesser gods (as Michael Heiser puts it) who expand their domain through kingdom-building expansion, expands and exalts all the kingdoms of the kingly fathers back to the originating Kingdom of the First Cause, the Head God, the Father of lights, the supreme governing power, as a divine personage of spirit, glory and power.
