One who, instead of focusing on ways to enhance the grandeur of man, is concerned solely with using science and technology to enhance the pleasure and comfort of man. If asked “What is love? What is creation? What is longing? What is a star?”, the last man would blink in dumbfounded amusement. No herdsman and one herd, everyone wants the same thing, everyone's the same: whoever thinks otherwise goes voluntarily into the madhouse. Their moral laws will (they hope) protect them, as well as justify them and the way they live. They refuse to admit to desiring what one cannot obtain. Better to reject it as worthless. ”No” is their creative act. Though no one can live thinking they are so secretly hateful, so they invent a rationalization. The rationale tells them they are the moral BECAUSE they are weak, humble and passive. Patience is a virtue because they have to wait a long time to get what they want. Obedience is a virtue. They can’t act of their own will, they have to obey, so they make it a virtue. Humility is a virtue because they have nothing to be proud of. The opposite of these is evil, aggressiveness, pride, independance, being physically and materially successful. But the smart Last Man knows deep down that this is just an untrue rationale. This will hurt them. The rich and powerful will continue to get richer and more powerful, eventually they will be so hurt that they will need to lash out. They will become Tarantulas, and wherever they bite black scabs will grow. Under the pretext of calls for equality, the Last Man attempts to bring down to a mediocre level all those higher than him through the construction of a slave and herd mentality. Preaching all are equal, EQUALITY, EQUALITY!
