What's the Point of Being a Posthumous Man?

Nietzsche: It's not really my goal just to have like, to be popular in the moment. And I don't think momentary popularity is something that's going to matter in the end run. Nietzsche was a posthumous man. No one gave a shit about him when he was writing. He would have been forgotten if he had written about contemporary issues and things like that. The people who are all great are the ones who turn their eye from the timely into the untimely.
