Nietzsche [claims] that the scientist is at best an instrument, a useful slave: he does not command or decide, he is not a whole man. - John Carroll

Nietzsche saw in the Protestant ethic, in both its religious and secular (economic) forms, a final protest before the emergence into dominance of the ordered, bourgeois world of the ‘last man’—he who will pay any price in tedium for comfort and the absence of tension.

Nietzsche … argues that all that passes in the life of a society is ephemeral and banausic except for the presence of great personalities, of men like Goethe … who seem to forge their own destinies, who seem to move unhampered by those burdens of existence which keep most men from rising above the vicissitudes of their daily toil.

The original of morals lies with the thought that ‘the community is more valuable than the individual’ (Menschliches 2.1.89)
