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

[Caliman73]

179. We still do, just not blindly and for reasons of vanity.

We still celebrate people taking risks for the BENEFIT of HUMANITY. Earhart, the Wright brothers, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, and those who went before them into risky and unknown ventures. There is always a certain amount of self aggrandizement with "explorers" but we understand that and see them as intrepid.

The submarine thing was not done for the benefit of humanity. Even people in the community of Deep Sea exploration are understanding what this was about. Similar to Besos and Musk with their "space exploration". It is wealthy people playing with toys. People who scoff at the collective of humanity, who think they are special, who when they get in trouble, call out and expect the collective to rescue them or bail them out.

We are shaming the behavior or exploration. We are shaming the arrogance, lack of attention to safety, and the hypocrisy of hating government, then expecting government to save them.
