Did Nietzsche conclude this before or after the syphilis penetrated his blood-brain barrier? Now, Nietzsche himself was faced with a problem, which is that the Abyss is the Abyss is the Abyss, which he created a trope for--- The image of the Eternal Return, which is the ultimate image of futility, although one could just as well substitute the "heat death of the universe", or the current fave, "the rubber- band universe" that expands until it collapses on itself, and begins a new cycle of BANG! (Where are your "progress and survival of the species" then?) Finally, the idea of the opportunity for man to take control of his own destiny wasn't enough, which is why he developed the idea of the Ubermensch.
