There's a theme in his writing that politics or social norms or other collective forms of ethics are for weak people. A sufficiently wise and competent man transcends those things, because his judgement is superior to what the collective comes up with.

In the case of politics, I agree. In the case of social norms, I agree sometimes, but I increasingly think we should have a bit more deference towards tradition.
