He who thinks over the question of how the type man may be elevated to its highest glory and power, will realise from the start that he must place himself beyond morality; for morality was directed in its essentials at the opposite goal--that is to say, its aim was to arrest and to annihilate that glorious development wherever it was in process of accomplishment. For, as a matter of fact, development of that sort implies that such an enormous number of men must be subservient to it, that a _counter-movement_ is only too natural: the weaker, more delicate, more mediocre existences, find it necessary to take up sides _against_ that glory of life and power; and for that purpose they must get a new valuation of themselves by means of which they are able to condemn, and if possible to destroy, life in this high degree of plenitude. Morality is therefore essentially the expression of hostility to life, in so far as it would overcome vital types. 898. _The strong of the future._--To what extent necessity on the one hand and accident on the other have attained to conditions from which a _stronger species_ may be reared: this we are now able to understand and to bring about consciously; we can now create those conditions under which such an elevation is possible. Hitherto education has always aimed at the utility of society: _not_ the greatest possible utility for the future, but the utility of the society actually extant. What people required were "instruments" for this purpose. Provided the _wealth of forces were greater,_ it would be possible to think of a draft being made upon them, the aim of which would not be the utility of society, but some future utility. The more people grasped to what extent the present form of society was in such a state of transition as sooner or later to be _no longer able to exist for its own sake,_ but only as a means in the hands of a stronger race, the more _this task would have to be brought forward._ The increasing belittlement of man is precisely the impelling power which leads one to think of the cultivation of a _stronger race:_ a race which would have a surplus precisely there where the dwarfed species was weak and growing weaker (will, responsibility, self-reliance, the ability to postulate aims for one's self). The means would be those which history teaches: _isolation_ by means of preservative interests which would be the reverse of those generally accepted; exercise in transvalued valuations; distance as pathos; a clean conscience in what to-day is most despised and most prohibited. The _levelling_ of the mankind of Europe is the great process which should not be arrested; it should even be accelerated. The necessity of _cleaving gulfs,_ of _distance,_ of the _order of rank,_ is therefore imperative; but not the necessity of retarding the process above mentioned.
