I thought Nietzsche dismissed universal love as a psychological impossibility because love, being a heightened affection for something, only exist in that contrast with the lesser affection for other things. Universal love is like universal heat, it fails to mean anything if it doesn't discriminate.

I would say that Nietzsche was a disturbed man and that his philosophy is largely a product of that, but he was also a genius. Rustle is one of those savants who shouldn't venture outside his highly specialised field because he's simply a dullard regarding anything he's not familiar with. He's the Dawkins of the 20th century.
