I’m fascinated with the ubermensch philosophy/concept. What supplemental reading would you add to this category?

Nietzsche
>never had a family
>never had a wife
>was cucked by some thot
>sick most of his life
>depressed
>never amounted to anything until the Nazis hijacked his philosophy after his death (it’s the only reason he’s well known today)
But yeah I’m sure reading his writing will make you an ubermensch

He did pretty well. He was crippled by illness throughout his life, yet he still managed to pursue his goals and publish amazing books that gained traction during his life.

I always viewed the Ubermensch as a hypothetical future state of humanity - what we could become if we fulfilled our true potential. Maybe people like Goethe, Borgia, etc. were representative of a sneak peak, but I think if you're asking "What kind of lifestyle can I lead to become the ubermensch?" you're asking the wrong question. Nietzsche even says in Zarathustra that we should strive to create the world into which the ubermensch will be born. So I see the goal more as "How can we accelerate the development of a humanity that goes past humanity?" rather than "How I become the superman guize???"

Yes lots of retards seem to completely misapprehend the idea of the overman as some kind of self-improvement #lifegoal (which leads them to condemn the notion as unrealistic and arrogant) when Nietzsche is obviously talking about the overman as a project, a kind of new teleological ideal for culture to work toward—the production of great individuals.
