I don't comment about stuff I don't know, you shouldn't either. Very easy to be found out :D


I don't think of it as "I should only talk about stuff that I know". I saw interesting comments, and decided to add my own comment. I am terribly sorry that it didn't meet your standards.

I can see the appeal of getting to the top of the mountain, but the process to get there is just extremely selfish. You put your life in danger for a little thrill. But your life isn't just your life, you have a responsibility to your family to keep yourself alive and not doing so is pure narcissism. That's why I generally don't feel bad for people who die doing stuff like this


why else do you exist on this planet if not for pushing yourself to your potential? you have a slave mentality

He didn't say dont push for one's potential. He was saying that putting one's life at risk is selfish.

I agree with that, it's our duty to God to strive for our divine potential.

However, being on top of a mountain doesn't do jack shit. You aren't helping yourself or anyone, there is no utility in it.

Racism exists…
Jsp: no it doesn’t.
Jsp: yes it does.

The word "racism" doesn't have a definition that everyone agrees on.

Example: Some people think that refusing to rent to a black person who outwardly displays ghetto and gang-affiliated cultural symbols is racist. Other people just consider it common sense.

its not about being on top of a mountain, its about pushing yourself to your absolute mental and physical limits.
you are achieving what most would say is a "Peak experience" (not a pun, its a term Maslow coined - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_experience) which is the highest level of fulfillment and happiness one can achieve in life
obviously there is risk involved and if you have a family/and or people that depend on you, its a little different

It doesn’t matter if people disagree.
The definition is the definition.
