All true, but they are not necessarily related concepts. It's 
impossible in the Nietzschean view to divorce oneself from 
materialism (which by implication includes eugenics), but his view of 
the superman seemed to be less concerned with material aspects than 
with discipline (as with Jung and Siddhartha).
