Beyond the Ordinary Man - Nietzsche's Ubermensch

Nietzsche's Übermensch is not a race, a superhuman, or a biological leap forward — and reading it that way has caused a century of damage. This is a philosophy and psychology video essay on what the Overman actually means: a person who, after the death of God, takes responsibility for creating his own values, refuses the comfort of the herd, and treats his own existence as something to be built rather than inherited.
