Who would you this is a better person: A person who was poor but became rich through constant work and putting aside what they want right now for something later or A person who was rich because parents gave them money. Most people would probably admire and give more credit to the person that suffered and worked for their material fortune. None of this addresses inequality in society. But it doesn't pretend to do that, either. And so what ... Nietzsche was an asshole. When did ad hominem attacks say anything about a person's rhetoric? When did that become the standard for judging ideas?
