>Star attraction, movie premieres, sports events, red carpets and gala openings: the eternal war between depth and appearances. But there is no war at all between them, since the purpose of depth is to create a stronger, and thus more beautiful, appearance; to transform itself into appearance. Those who scorn appearances and evangelize depth are precisely those who are incapable of much, if any, depth: the pseudo-intellectuals, which is why it is by no means an accident that all of them are ugly.

>340. Betas follow rules. Alphas make the rules. Sigmas laugh at rules. It is clear which group the philosopher belongs in, and in which he'd like to belong.

We all know that's not Nietzsche.
That is one of the issues I see often in the US and Europe though. With big budget, blockbuster creations came reactionary movements that hated the emphasis on appearance in those grander works.
But it's all a matter of ego / spirit; someone with a healthy ego averts their gaze outwardly, beyond themselves and into the world of appearances, while someone with a weak ego, overly focused on themselves, is still looking for things that are "deep" in order to justify themselves.

If that's what you'd like to call perspectives opposite of your own, fine.
