Applauding risk acceptance beyond your own limits
ivan replied to glassgowkiss's topic in Climber's Board
climbers make up a tiny fraction of the population, and most climbers manage the addiction just fine, so that's hardly surprising shit, i'm a fan of addictions - they're fun...until they're not...try to stay on the horse as long as you can, no? -
i'm pretty certain at least The Don couldn't make it over any of them thare prototypes...

i highly recommend the book "the drunkard's walk" for reasons that are both immediately obvious and not a history of the science of statistics and therefore generally a work on the subject of randomness in the universe, one of it's key observations is: humans are complete shit at figuring odds risk management of course is not much more than measuring one's odds wisely and making decisions based on them if the author is right then, we're doomed as a species to make dangerous decisions and suffer as a result when the drunkards walk puts us in front of a speeding mac-truck truly, an enjoyable read, even when the math passed well above my head - dude teaches theoritical physics AND writes star trek episodes... https://www.amazon.com/Drunkards-Walk-Randomness-Rules-Lives/dp/0307275175 -

wise sir do not grieve it is always better to avenge dear ones than to indulge in mourning for every one of us living in this world means waiting for our end let he who can achieve glory before death when a warrior is gone that will be his best and only bulwark

so... ...humans are not rational creatures, therefore it is irrational to expect them to act rationale? -

reckon marc woulda been doing what he was doing regardless of public applause - in the big picture, celebrating daring climbers isn't nearly as impactful as celebrating, say, football players... -

there is equity in death if little else though sure across ages emperors have fought with every breath to defy this and so they rot in halls of gold but rot they still do though ______________________ discourses in disaster the circle squared and the squared pegs hammered into their round holes their voices of hope all hollowed by the indifference of the common hall the gilded king and his horrid cackle the cycle of silly synonyms all meaning drowned in ten-penny tin-can weak boogie bullshit
