Seems like someone's take on Nietzsche comes via Nazi bs, not any real understanding.

That, or I missed that he genuinely couldn't take spicy food, but I'm pretty sure fellating the ubermensch concept to his own detriment at every opportunity was not how he lived.

With my shallow understanding of Nietsche, this comic is accurate that Nietzsche admires and sees the Übermensch as a goal for humans. But "rising above nature" and "the spirit is stronger than the body" is exactly the opposite philosophy to the Übermensch.

Exactly the ubermensch is an ideal goal which is not really reachable and the whole comic reeks of ignorance tho tbf Nietzsche is commonly misunderstood like that so hard to blame the Oc
