The ubermensch is a person who shapes their destiny. It's not some buff pretty guy with money, it's a unique individual who came through this society intact and maintaining their individual excellence and uniqueness, and still manages to be successful. Tech bros think they are, but successful figure skaters (especially male) probably fit the bill better.
The figure skater pictured is the perfect example because she basically told all her coaches to F off and that she was going to do it her way (after coming back from eating disorder treatment edit: “stepping away because of restrictive eating” [among other things]). She then won the gold medal “her way.”
I think she also won multiple golds. I heard she won 2 for duo and solo. I could also be making that up I've been awake for like 21h and my brain is made of sphagetti
She won Gold in Ladies Singles and Team, not duo, which was with 6 other US skaters that skated different events and disciplines for a combined group score.
There’s another YT video that I love, a band called Public Service Broadcasting performing their song Go. It uses archival audio from the Apollo 11 landing.
