Agree wholeheartedly.
I used to have this image in my head about Nietzsche as well. Disgruntled proto-Nazi, who failed with women and, out of spite, dreamt up the uber-man.
Then I read the man himself.
I actually think Nietzsche has excellent insights into the kind of problems that our time, especially, keeps bringing up to the surface. For instance, regarding dismissiveness, he said:
“What you cannot love, that you shall pass by.”
So I hope nobody listens to John Gray, and those curious will read what Nietzsche actually wrote, and what he meant.
