This is a stupid thing to do. These people shouldn’t be glorified, they should be held up as examples of poor decision-making, and regarded as imposing a cost on the rest of humanity for the sake of self-aggrandizement.
They’re wired differently than you. They have to do extreme things to get the same enjoyment that you get from doing mundane things. There is a literal brain chemistry difference in adrenaline junkies, or thrill seekers. You can consider them examples of poor decision making, but that’s not going to change who they are or how they’re built. They accomplish some truly miraculous things, and that is what people admire, not their recklessness. That said, Honnold is one of the more responsible freesoloists. He likes to keep the difficulty to 5.6-5.8 when he has no ropes, and he’s capable of doing most of the hardest routes that exist.
“Have to” seems like such an excuse… Why can they not do the same things, but with safety gear? That wouldn’t make it “mundane”. The only reason I can see for not using a harness and safety line is feeling like you’ve got something to prove - either you’re trying to impress yourself or you’re trying to impress other people, and neither is a worthy goal compared to the cost of failure (especially for someone with kids at home).
Frankly you could make this same argument for a meth addict, “they have to do extreme things to get enjoyment”, but I wouldn’t buy it as a good argument for allowing them to keep doing meth.
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of developers suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.
The international fixed calendar is basically what’s described here. But it adds one day to bring it to 365, that day is called year day, and its an extra day, not a day of the week just a bonus day. Leap years get a second extra day 6 months later.
I watched a couple seasons of love after lockup. The women dating guys in prison went for guys like this because they were very insecure, and thought probation would help them control the men.
