In other news I just got done reading the novella Edge Dancer. What a fun little story about pancakes, nobility, and honor.
You've got it backwards. You fucked up and tried to save face, and instead of acknowledging what made you arguments valueless you made yourself into this golden divine figure with which we are powerless to understand. As Solon himself in female form you pretended to come down and smite thee with intellect but failed because all you brought was feelings. Maybe if you understood the difference between logic and feelings and why one is more reliable we wouldnt having this conversation..

Im thinking about getting a book this month if I have enough money leftover after some stuff I have to buy, Im either going to get
Lies my doctor told me - Dr. Ken Barry
or
The Diabetes Code - Dr. Jason Fung
Im not sure yet, I think the diabetes code is cheaper at like $18

I've been listening to a handful myself here lately.

Climber Ed Viesturs' book on Annapurna (argaubly the most dangerous & frightening to climb high altitude mountain on earth)

Michael Pollan's "How to Change Your Mind", his book on the modern (and past) psychedelic movement
And I'm also finally listening to Hunter S. Thompson's Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas book -- I've seen the film (my favorite film of all-time) countless times but never actually read the book itself

I just got a good bunch of new audiobooks to listen to while camping and I'm hype.
Also been watching alot of mountaineering documentaries and lectures and one ted talk was a dude that had been inspired to climb by the Will to climb. He climbed all the top 14 peaks of the world with Annapurna being his last. He had to cancel 2 prior attempts. In one they withdrew from camp (3 I think?) Because the conditions were so bad and that night and avalanche came down the mountain and swept through that camp. It would have wiped them out if they'd stayed.

Most of the people who have successfully climbed the Himalayan mountains have been brown.

The brief Sherpa interviews at the end of this historic climb are epic.
If more of them had books published in English I'd read it. Though some have quite good YouTube channels. It's great to get their thoughts on tourists.

I can't even fathom reaching the summit of 1 of the 8Kers, let alone all 14. Annapurna is something else, though. I The south face is one of the most imposing things on this earth. Whoever looked up at this, and thought "you know what I'm going to climb that", man they were on one. It's like a wall that goes straight up, with a summit at 26,454 feet above sea level. And from the stories it virtually rains avalanches. Even if you're the most skilled mountaineer on the planet, you still need lots and lots of sheer luck because with those avalanches it's a game of Russian Roulette.
Of all the 8 thousand meter peaks, Annapurna has been climbed successfully the least amount of times (only some 200 have made it to the summit and made it down again), and for something like every 1 to 2 climbers who made it to the top and back alive, another dies trying. Highest fatality rate in the Himalayas (depending on what source it's anywhere from 34 to 40 percent). Even higher than K2.
It's on my bucket list to see it in person one day via the Annapurna Circuit. It's a trail that takes a few weeks to finish and it takes you right to the base camp of Annapurna.

If you're not married and don't have kids and that's what you want to do then why not?
I just get mad at the people who have families and people who depend on them. That being said Everest is pretty safe if you're trained and listen to your Sherpa guides.
I'd say spending your life between a cubicle and the internet or TV is far more stupid. For that matter I don't think all that highly of people who live to breed.
I'd love to hike some of the approach trails to these mountains but I think I would have a panic attack and die on the foot bridges.
