I've frequently thought that an ethics based around doing/praising those things that are "awesome" rather than those things that are "good" might work out well. (Of course, one might argue that that's basically what Objectivism is...)

That vaguely reminds me of certain late 19th- and early 20th-century writers, such as Wilde, Nietzsche, and D'Annunzio.
