"I believe I can fly!"
    #21695713 - 05/18/15 07:35 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

In an interview with The New York Times in 2008, Dean Potter said: “Part of me says it’s kind of crazy to think you can fly your human body.

“Another part of me thinks all of us have had the dream that we can fly. Why not chase after it? Maybe it brings you to some other tangent. Chasing after the unattainable is the fun part.”


And landing on the Yosemite floor at 80 mph is the not-so-fun part. :ohwell:

If God wanted man to fly, we would have been born with a turbojet engine.

Wow, you really made a thread trying to make fun of this guy a day after he dies? At least he had the balls to do what he loved. Dean Potter and Alex Honnold are the greatest athletes in the world.

Pretty sad day and an even sadder thread.  Mocking people who take risks and do amazing feats on the day it doesn't work out is pretty fucking gutless.  :thumbdown:

What was the point?  Don't take risks, because they might not work out?  Hunker down in your house in the AC instead and mock those who eat it?

Were. Not so much now.

You do know they were doing an illegal (for a reason) activity. The poor park rangers have to clean up the mess from the irresponsible risk lovers. How selfish is that?

Apparently you don't even know who Alex Honnold is.

And you do know this entire website is dedicated to an illegal activity, right?

Funny how you skipped over the 'for a reason' part. Do you think park rangers are oppressive assholes hell bent on taking away other's fun?

Please explain how their activity was not selfish to cause distress and extra work for others to clean up.

Somebody is going to have to pick up your dead body one day too, what's your point? Should I never drive again because there's a chance some paramedics will have to scrape me off the road?

No matter how much witty rhetoric you come up with it doesn't change the fact that Dean Potter is a legend and you are just a lonely old man trying to impress people on the internet by insulting the dead.

Was the park ranger question too difficult?

How does the age of the poster affect the veracity of an observation?

What was the insult and how was the allegedly insulted party affected?

Everything is better than it was the last time.  I'm good.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

I see no moral of the story. As if they didn't know they were taking risks! Its clearly a case of begging the question here: must death always be a moral?

If I stay here and fight, I shall not return alive but my name will live for ever: whereas if I go home my name will die, but it will be long ere death shall take me.

- Achilles' prophecy, Homer The Illiad


Lo, I teach you the Superman: he is that lightning, he is that
frenzy!...Man is a rope stretched between the animal and the Superman- a
rope over an abyss.
  A dangerous crossing, a dangerous wayfaring, a dangerous
looking-back, a dangerous trembling and halting.
  What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not a goal: what
is lovable in man is that he is an over-going and a down-going.
  I love those that know not how to live except as down-goers, for
they are the over-goers.
  I love the great despisers, because they are the great adorers,
and arrows of longing for the other shore. I love those who do not first seek a reason beyond the stars for
going down and being sacrifices, but sacrifice themselves to the
earth, that the earth of the Superman may hereafter arrive...

Nietzsche, Zarathustra
