Nietzsche's mistake led to Freud's mistake

Freud took Nietzsche's psychological/philosophical study of releasing humanity from the ascetic blocking or repression of life and the passions, and turned it into a therapy. What Nietzsche and Freud missed or greatly downplayed was the central unit of group selection in human behavior, with individual selection only following.

Nietzsche released egocentric philosophy and philosophers on the world, and Freud tried to show people, in long costly therapy sessions, how to affirm what amounted to egocentrism, especially freedom from Christian moral restraints. Later Ayn Rand took up the same egocentric cause in economic philosophy.

Individuals are of course important, especially individual geniuses, but individuals need to be helpful to the advancement of the group. Egocentrism, as well as the Inward Path to the symbolic God Within of religious asceticism, need to be integrated into the Outward Path of group selection and the material evolution to real Godhood. Given human nature this would be healthier for individuals and for the culture.
