A Critique of Nietzsche’s Übermensch focusing on its practicality. Society full of people thriving to become an Übermensch might not be as promising as it seems. Is not having any common frameworks of Morality an answer or are there conditions to concern. What if a society decides to demolish the systems developed by Slave Mentality to keep us from reaching full potential and be a mere follower in a herd? This essay explores the ‘What-if’ of this happening. The Paradoxical theme is that if not everyone is Übermensch, the system would not be destroyed, but if everyone is Übermensch, how could one be?
