Our one-hour conversation: Zoroaster and Zarathustra, as a literary and philosophical work, including the significance of this quotation from Thus Spake Zarathustra:
“I teach you the overman. Human being is something that must be overcome.”
“What is the ape to the human?”
“The overman is the meaning of the earth, and do not believe those who speak to you of extraterrestrial hopes.”
And:
“What is great about human beings is that they are a bridge and not a purpose.”
“I love those who do not first seek behind the starts for a reason to go under and be a sacrifice, who instead sacrifice themselves for the earth, so that the earth may one day become the overman’s.”
