A different perspective about the submersible incident, if you don't mind...

115. Truth is, I really don't give a rat's ass about some assholes going...

to the bottom of the ocean just to say they've been there. We've always had intrepid explorers, and we've had idiots going that way for the ride. That's part of what it means to be human. We still have hundreds of people every year climbing Everest off season, and thousands of people braving Appalachian slopes after the rescue teams have gone home. "Braving" the beaches with no lifeguards around is part of this idiocy, too.

And I know of no studies about how one's racial makeup makes one more or less susceptible to this idiocy. I suspect that if we visited Africa, we would find the will to be this idioticy as common as it is here.

The point is simply that we are all human, and act and react as humans do. We take calculated risks all the time, but we don't have to look for them.
