The Art of Extreme Self-Optimization
An essay on the modern phenomenon of extreme self-optimization. The work analyzes the cultural-historical roots of this movement, links it to structural parallels in extreme mountain sports (such as free solo climbing and base jumping), and examines the tragic systemic pressures on digital fitness influencers in the algorithmic age, using Johannes "Joesthetics" Lindner and Gabriel "Bbzinho" Ganley as case studies. (Written in English and German, 29 pages).
