Where are the great men of today? Just look around you I'd say, there are
great people everywhere. Oh but they are the masses? Well - as long as you
think of the great people around you as "the masses", you won't be able to
find the "great men of today" either. Beware that your hero my fundamental
master Nietzsche doesn't get to you too much, - before you know it you'll
find yourself shouting "sieg" while raising your right arm, - like Dr.
Strangelove indeed. And never forget that it was a horse, beaten by his
master on that day in January, 1889, that ultimately caused N's breakdown.
