Well spoken and well said, so hats off to you. But, to reply to your welcome to challenges, I would counter your stance that Nietzsche prefers master- morality over slave-morality. Although he said M-M is the better of the two, the moral system itself is to be transcended. The habit of valuing anything, as seen in Genealogy of Morals, shows that we have only constructed ideas of goodness, so there is no ultimate way, not even M-M. Rather, life is the arena to create infinite ways to live

"There are no more literal master's and slaves..."

This statement is incorrect. There are more people in slavery today then ever before in history.

@phillyphanatic75 Yeah, there getting closer together though. Until one day the slaves will be there own masters, anarchism.

So far I have only read Also Sprach Zarathustra and I can only judge from reading it in its original German form. I did not like the English translation because it has serious faults in it and it is even further misunderstood because of the false translation. Judging from Zarathustra what I understood is that the superhuman is not the master of slaves or puppets but a highly ethical person like Paul Watson. When my translation is done I will upload it in video form. Let's talk about F. Nietzsche

@RupertTorp That's only the begin of the slave morality, it's based on hate to their master. But later that base is forgotten, and only the morality stays, and that is humbleness, weakness, forgiveness and so on

Thanks dude!

[RupertTorp]

If slaves think of the master as evil, why then do they love god if god is their master?

I believe you have cleared Nietzsche from the false accusation people has been giving him.

Thank you.
