I dunno that I know Neitzsche well enough to say what he would, at 
some point come to.  Where he got to did plenty for me.  It may 
well be that after he outgrew testosterone overdose he would have 
come to the same view I have. 
 
We don't need to kill god, like the young man rebelling against a 
father, we just need to realize the limits the old boy has, and 
work our will and fulfill our destiny without always measuring it 
against what we think the old boy had done, or done for us. 
 
What would Neitzsche think of the power of man today, did he ever 
dream that we would have the power of nukes to destroy a world? A 
god like power if I ever saw one.  Would he have expected us to 
have the wisdom not to destroy it in a fit of pique?  It was not 
that he thought the Aryans were so good, but that they were not 
as bad as everyone else, which was not saying much. 
 
Has any other race demonstrated that it can conquer with *less* 
savagery?  I do not think so.  I have seen several demonstrations 
in my time where other races have demonstrated even more.
