Hi Stiltzkin,
I'm frankly puzzled after reading this thread, more by some of the responses and other contributors ideas of what constitutes "Ubermenschen".
Some of the responses remind me of the fable of the 3 blind men & the elephant - you know, the one where one grabs a leg and says an elebhant is tree shaped, one grabs the trunk and says an elephant is snake shaped & one grabs a tusk and says an elephant is spear shaped.
You are not Ubermensch. A true Ubermensch would not be asking such questions since he would already know in his heart what he is. This is good, when I think of Ubermenschen existing is large numbers then what follows is Aldous Huxley's "Oh Brave New World, that has such wondrous creatures in it". A transient, surface happiness & satisfaction that only masks the the desolation beneath.
I implore you to strive to be your best, but ultimately to be what you are. Concentrate on actually living your life, and don't be sidetracked into what would be a waste of the very limited time that you have to live.
Mike.
