Well I was listening to this video about Nietzsche's "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" Zarathustra is a major figure in the history of the world's religion, famous for the concept of dualism in the mono Deities(All Good and an All Evil) that has gotten a lot of attention from scholars. I think this video can give you some perspective on Nietzsche work: Thus Spoke So in So:

I prefer the story of the last man on earth, galos gann, as told in alexander hamiltons story “in the worlds dusk”. Its a bit of a thought exercise in how far men go to shape the world but in the futility of it all and cyclical nature of the universe. I highly recommend it.

I think what Nietzsche was getting at is accept change and that man is on the verge of becoming superman maybe through some sort of singularity with machine/science powers greater than government are at work and this is man's destiny.
Viewpoints may welcome it or be terrified of it but it is inevitably the future.

Nietzsche Died in 1900. The concept of a singularity was a century beyond him.
He also went insane.
My story is way better and makes a similar point in a far more entertaining way

I think Nietzsche went insane like his dad BTW by genetics and probing very deep into the unconscious. Picture a boat pulling up too many fish from the ocean and sinking, that the way I view Nietzsche he went too deep into himself and became scizto.

Theres also the uglyness that his works were used to justify and support (rightly or wrongly) the national socialist movement in germany (yea the nazi’s) and then later in the 60’s it was white washed to make them more socially acceptable. So theres that too... anyway you slice it he didnt envision a singularity and was bat shit crazy.
Galos gann was far more altruistic
