RE: Friedrich Nietzsche’s rules on how to become Superman
Here's the million dollar question for you. Do you know why the superman is supposed to be the way you describe, and not some other way? For example the exact opposite? Or he is a meek Christian who turns the other cheek? Why and why not?
In other words, what makes Nietzsche's particular fantasies about the superman so interesting and not just "some guy's fantasy nobody cares about"? If you can explain this to yourself without degenerating into "because school says so" or "because he influenced X, Y, Z", but really look at the concepts - then I bet you will find great insights in the process.
Insights that will be 100% your own!
I'm not sure I fully understand the question. But I guess it's the mystery of "the grass is always greener on the other side". There is always a version of us that is better, smarter, stronger, etc. The longing for the superman in us is helping us to become the best version of ourselves.
