He may have been right for his particular situation,  and yes I agree that the more explanation required, the more he needs to answer to himself.
Humanity doesn't do well relying on self-serving dimwits who lack conscience.

It's funny 'cause it's true.

Obviously there are right and wrong ways in regards to the welfare of the human race.

Then at least some of the religious and non-religious can agree on this one that Nietzsche was a dickhead? 

I have no knowledge of Nietzsche but no matter.
Good people, which is fundamentally most people, know what is right & wrong when it comes down to it.
That is not to say they know the answer to everything in an academic context for example. But in terms of moral issues or the law of survival, they know what is right.
This I believe.

This is so.
Perhaps ..I mean everything can be right or wrong, depending on your cultural norms.
For example, I think locking up refugees like POWs is wrong, but Abbott and Co. think it is right.
I think freedom of choice is right, but Abbott and Co. think it is wrong.

I think owning weapons for personal protection is right, but others think it is wrong.

Get the idea.?

Is that why he died a pathetic and insane reclusive nutter?

I think it is a good example of contemporary narcissism. There is an element of purported generosity and open-mindedness to it but in reality it is faked.
It is really an inability to accept that you may be wrong and judging things by your own lights may not be the best way.   Take your own sign off, for example. Piss off , please, you say, and then post "I mean everything can be right or wrong, depending on your cultural norms".


The worst thing about this narcissism, though, is that it relativises good arguments just as much as it does bad ones and so there is no accepted and shared grounds of reasoning that would allow the distinction.

And if we do not have a shared, common ground of discourse whereby ideas can be weighed and judged, total fragmentation and atomisation of society is just around the corner.

But for narcissists that is a price worth paying. To them any price is worth paying.

Well, that is imposed hindsight I couldn't resist. Actually he was a syphilitic and that's what made him mad and eventually killed him.
But a suffering horse breaking his heart is both a deeply moving event and testament to his solidly humane and good qualities as a person - and also a tragically telling refutation of his lucid ideas.
I have taken to heart only one of his many excellent aphorisms: a pupil repays his master poorly if he remains a pupil.
So I am not a pupil of Nietzsche.
And am.
