Not sure why you say that. Having read a great deal of both I can confidently assure you they are deeply related. Nietzsche doesn't use process notation or equations for calculating closed loop feedback gain. Shannon, Wiener or Weaver don't directly address the question of whether the cultural software of our society lies within its institutions or individuals. Nonetheless they are both talking about the same subject - one that is highly apropos the precarious situation we find ourselves in today with respect to our failing social cybernetics.
