He was so boring that his own robotic shoes tried to escape him, his entire philosophy is “be nice”, one episode shows that his greatest fear is having power, he mocks all greatness, has no ambition, and seeks nothing but small comforts.

    I would totally party with Dave. We could have mutual respect. Nietzche was a delicate snowflake who never toiled or grew past teenage angst. He was an aristocrat who invented an inverted moral system to aid the disgusting behavior his overinflated ego encouraged.

    Here’s a real example of applied ubermensch theory: these “superior” beings murdered a disabled child, because they believed they had a higher moral system than “inferior” people.

      I am not going to defend him or his ideas. I just made the connection, while under the influence. Go read the second chapter of Thus Spoke Zarthustra describing the last man and compare it to Lister who is quite literally the last man.

      Also for the record I would totally have a beer with Dave as well.
