IIRC I read something by a Nietzsche expert, who studied him for more than 40 years, said that Nietzsche feared people will eventually think morality is a means to be controlled. Because of herd mentality, people may evolve to think and recognize that they are being controlled by the upper class, and morality is one of those means to control them... and this will be the death of morality.
But! Since amygdalas are associated with altruism, and altruism should be the basis of morality, I think as long as we have big-ass amygdalas, the human race will be okay and nice to each other. We have to genetically enlarge everyone's amygdala.
