Then you have to stop watching any competition of anything because the winners are always among the ones sacrifying the most.

Then stop reading about start up on HN as well.

In fact, forget about any extra ordinnary human achivement.

Done. Easy.

> stop reading about start up on HN as well

I don’t think there the motivation is to create entertainment though. But i don’t care much about that kind of content either.

> forget about any extra ordinnary human achivement

I disagree with that. Plenty of extraordinary human achievements were created under circumstances I find acceptable to celebrate and watch.

Let's not scale mountains, explore the oceans, cross the poles, or go to space. Why be heroic when we can all hold hands and be safe.

In terms of exploring the oceans my hero is Admiral Rickover and not Stockton Rush. Different kind of heroism. Not the lack of it.

Yeah, because scaling a mounting or exploring the ocean is exactly the same as "punch me in the kidney bro, it'll be funny".
