 the future, it is a distant one as we are from the stone age, and when
 he travelled along his genealogy trees he usually preferred pre-Socratic
 Greece or something to his time.

Another point to consider is Heidegger's idea of "throwness".  We are all
thrown into a world culture, at specific place and time.  No matter how much
of a genius, or ahead of his time someone may be, he still can only derive his
beliefs from within the culture he is immersed in.
