Nietzche is supporter of ``might is right`` approach. Thanks for presenting his views about Over Man and Metamorphoses. The idea of getting liberation from external and external thresholds is probably the same ``freedom from objective standards``, in the philosophy of Existentialism.

He is having accurate opinion that purpose of organized education system is just to produce workers for the already established social and economical system. Individuals are kept away from superior knowledge of self and reality.

It is his approach of ``might is right`` which is trying to convert a camel into lion. Nietzche was inspired by Darwin`s Survival of Fittest Principle. This ``principle`` was actually at the peak of its popularity in his time. So there is less surprize to see that he has hastily derived his ethics out of Darwin`s faulty principle.

Regards!
