I'm certainly not disregarding him. His work was (and is) important. But the reason it lives on is to serve as a cautionary tale. It saves you from taking a turn down that road which can be so appealing to precocious young minds who aren't aware of its' logical conclusions.

such as?

See the article. Nietzsche was driven to madness and died alone in an insane asylum.

By Nietzches logic (if you can call it that). The will to power is a completely unnatainable goal for the vast majority of people, by reason of circumstance. His philosophy offers nothing but a hollow sense of self importance for those of us subject to the whims of blonde beasts.
