"Furthermore, men, it was worthwhile to behold Socrates when the army retreated in flight from Delium; for I happened to be there on horseback and he was a hoplite. The soldiers were then in rout, and while he and Laches were retreating together, I came upon them by chance. And as soon as I saw them, I at once urged the two of them to take heart, and I said I would not leave them behind.

I had an even finer opportunity to observe Socrates there than I had had at Potidaea, for I was less in fear because I was on horseback. First of all, how much more sensible he was than Laches; and secondly, it was my opinion, Aristophanes (and this point is yours); that walking there just as he does here in Athens, ‘stalking like a pelican, his eyes darting from side to side,’ quietly on the lookout for friends and foes, he made it plain to everyone even at a great distance that if one touches this real man, he will defend himself vigorously. Consequently, he went away safely, both he and his comrade; for when you behave in war as he did, then they just about do not even touch you; instead they pursue those who turn in headlong flight"

He was a NEET, sweaty. So, according to your logic, he would have despised himself.
Why do NEETcheans resent logic?

Absolute evil in regards to preserving the species would either be ending the species or creating something worse than an end, aka the Last Man.
Nietzsche once again shows his brainlet power.

Obviously.

Nietzscheans don't understand Plato, and certainly not the Greeks.
And imagine venerating power while proclaiming this bullshit as right.

Imagine reddit being deprived of music, their precious family, and having to serve in the military.
