Thus Spoke Zarathustra

The genius, the Zarathustra-human, works on the higher breeding of humanity and, for that reason, simultaneously on the destruction of everything sick, degenerating, and parasitic—so that, finally, that overflowing life becomes possible on earth again, from which the most divine Hellenic state, the Dionysian, grows.

Sooner or later, if the world continues for a while in its present laisser aller letting things be/neglect (called liberalism; in truth, "tyranny of aimlessness, lack of discipline, and thoughtlessness"), even the most soft-hearted rulers, provided they do not themselves sink to the ground in the general dissolution and anarchy, will come to similar insights regarding merely external human order as those Nietzsche teaches. "You should have it worse and harder!

Then one will at least seek to eliminate the lowest causes of this decline. Above all, one will not grant the right to marriage to every consumptive and sick person. If it shows anywhere, it shows in this right what results from the most idiotic of all blasphemous maxims: "Equal rights for all."

The purely biological, monistic understanding of the same...
