btw - Spinoza's pretty cool (if you like math hahaha!) since he tried to demonstrate how to lead a good, moral life mathematically, but Nietzsche, although he was VERY smart, basically said "God is dead" and hated Christians (Nihilist?), aided in the invention of Nazism and loved Wagner until Wagner became a Christian (who was anti-semetic until then), was a misogynist,and had very antidemocratic leanings.
Nietsche thought there was no universal morality. His Ubermensch was judged differently because virtue is only for an elite few, mass morality was folly.It is true that his elite few would be strong, but a result could also be cruelness. Nietsche even once wrote, "Man shall be trained for war and women for the recreation of the warrior. All else is folly." Not an easy idea to swallow in real life, but I can see how it could be applicable to a dastardly man like Ben.
