Yeah, seems right.
How does one escape morality without being either immoral or amoral? By definition if you do something that is
not moral, it must be either immoral or amoral, right?
RIGHT - THE WAY TO BE ACCORDING TO NIETZSCHE IS INDEED IMMORAL - THIS HAS NO NEGATIVE CONNOTATIONS WITH HIM.
Master morality includes the idea of acting in a noble manner, so it means they need to just be trusted to be acting in the interests of their charges.
I know Nietzsche didn't believe in master morality any more than in slave morality, but what was he working toward with these books? Was it the Ubermenschen?
THE ONE THAT ONLY GOES BY HIS NATURE AND THE INSTINCT TO LIFE.
That's something I know very little about.
READ TWILIGHT OF THE IDOLS
I know Hitler used Nietzsche's writings as some twisted justification, but that was supposedly a monstrous misrepresentation of them.
*Or was it? Maybe the Third Reich is a demonstration of where his type of thinking will ultimately lead?
NO - MISINTERPRETATION:

At any rate, I'm just grateful that his writings on master and slave morality give us a starting point to begin to diverge from simple naive "be nice to everybody" ideas about morality.
RIGHT - VERY GOOD STARTING POINT
