Nietzsche claimed an Uberman possessed superiority over everything, mentally and physically, over the average human and only through observation and testing would one be able to set a dividing standard between human and Uberman. So, is there really a so called Uberman among humanity? There are simply to many holes in Nietzsche’s theories on Ubermanism.

To give one’s evil side continuing hold indicates that there is a possibility the person in question would continue to make poor choices inasmuch as he feels he is limited to the label of evil awarded to him.

What if, however, the deed has been so enmeshed in the past that the future has already been altered forever? What if the situation has reached beyond the point of repair?
