Ubermensch

One who cares not for the morality of common Untermensch because he introspectively understands what is right and wrong.

Only the Ubermensch are capable of fully understanding Nietzschean philosophy. All others fear it and attempt to discredit it through petty insults and misinterpretation.

Ubermensch

The overman, for Nietzsche, did not and could not exist as a contemporary, since he saw himself as living in decadent times incapable of spawning ones who were capable of "standing security for their own destiny." Personally, i would suggest that the Overman would be one who could bear the horror of memory and cognizance of the present while simultaneously retaining the vigor and purpose of those who Nietzsche describes as nobles in "The Genealogy of Morals."

Examples are not helpful. German foot soldiers in WWI carried copies of "Thus Spake Zarathustra." The twentieth century bears witness to the idiocy of Nietzsche interpreters...

Ubermensch Syndrome

"Nietzsche syndrome", also known as "ubermensch syndrome", is a psychological problem where a person without the capacity and talent to create value in a societal structure relies upon exaggerated self-worth and delusions of grandeur to prove to themself that their lack of success is a direct result of them being an "ubermensch". Other symptoms of this syndrome include a sense of entitlement, internalized misogyny, racism towards the races deemed weak, and inability to control one's emotions resulting in aggressive outbursts. The afflicted refer to themself as "ubermensch", "overman" or "superman" and everyone else as "the herd". The afflicted also refer to themself as "alpha male" or sometimes "sigma male" as most of the afflicted are male. The person afflicted with this illness usually relies on social safety nets for their day-to-day needs and fending for themselves in the real world can prove to be challenging and depressing for them.

Susan: "Hey John! Why did you quit your job?"
John: "Because I am an ubermensch and I can't work for the lesser people of the herd."
Susan: "Then how are you going to pay for the stuff?"
John: "My father has left me a reasonable sum of money. That should take care of it."
Susan: "Oh! So you have"Ubermensch Syndrome""

Übermensch

an adjective used to describe a person who is awesome, talented, cool, hip, or someone who did something excellent. It came from Friedrich Nietzsche's vision of an ideal Man who was able to achieve self-actualization, and has developed himself holistically.
