I have not read through this entirely but would, perhaps, like to propose that Neitzche was riffing off of eastern philosophy and mayhap missed the boat. Namely, the uber mensche is in fact the every man. Without the mundane, there is no sacred or profane, no higher calling, no substrate from which to build these high towers.
I think about this when walking through cities or touring mansions of the rich and powerful, even when looking through a thoughtful, well-organized codebase: who were these craftsmen? What lives did they live while not simply trying to live? But, oh, look what they built with the time they had.
