Beau of the Fifth Column recently noted that there are people who believe they could survive the OceanGate submersible collapse or the cold Atlantic waters after Titanic sank. There are folks who believe they could win a fight with a grizzly bear in full hungry, fighting form.
And he encourages such fearlessness among people who want to take up the mantle and fight for change to save civilization.
I suffer from ASD and major depression. I was crushed underfoot by parents and kids alike (that is three at a time, each twice my size) and learned early the futility of fighting. I saw how efforts to fit in were useless and have the suicide attempts in my history to demonstrate my awareness that all is hopeless all around me.
But you go!
There are people who have fought a hungry grizzly bear and won, against all odds, so, not impossible.
And at least one person survived the Titanic.
What happened to the rest of them? Possibly does not mean probable.
