We might need to wait another generation or two before Nietzsche's stuff starts making proper sense. I've been feeling that there's going to need to be some sort of a global reckoning between communist and capitalist ways of thinking. The counter-culture movement from the 60's was just too pervasive to go away forever. That movement needed a breather to allow the tech industry to grow as much as it possibly could. If we are going to start seeing the end of growth in tech, a revolution-centric hippie scene could start re-emerging sooner rather than later. Once these issues start playing out, then I think we'll have a better understanding of how the future generations will relate to the idea of nobility. So I'm pretty confident that it won't have very much to do with the purely capitalist notion of "layabout managers."
