That reminds me of Nietzsche's idea of a future "Superman" who would transcend humanity's need for rules of behavior.
Morons then decided that meant that if you're better than other people you can just go around murdering inferior people and it's perfectly ok. (rather than the much more logical idea that a superior person would in fact know the right way to behave in the first place).
In fact all they did was prove that they aren't the "Supermen" who Nietzsche was talking about and are in fact the unevolved cretins who's very existence explains why we have stupid rules for everything.
Such geniuses that they completely missed the point of the whole thing ...
