It's still possible to orient yourself without being an initiate if you are observant, at least in terms of profane knowledge. I was certainly persuaded in the authenticity and power of initiation without experiencing first hand. Naturally, profane discussion about sacred knowledge is a waste of time given that you could just skip to pursuing sacred knowledge yourself, but if hylics want to insult things that they do not understand then I think it's perfectly appropriate to give them a fitting refutation. A retroactive refutation, if you will.

Break what down? What Nietzsche is saying is pretty simple. If the aim of geniuses and saints is to put their efforts towards creating "equality", then before long their efforts to uplift the rest of society to their level will fail and - exhausted and deluded - these saints and geniuses will descend to the lowest level. This is the only possible fulfilment of equality.
