    Summer Olympics Paris - 2024

    True. Probably a daft question, but has anyone ever came up with a concrete idea why we have survival instinct? Or is it just plain common sense? When confronted with danger or death, we wanna escape and live. I guess nobody wants their existence to end, human or animal or bacteria, so we do...

    The Nico Williams thread turned into posts about EA Sports 25 and the dangers of mobile phones.

    Anyway I think it's been established that this is well off-topic. Other boys coming in to see what they have missed in the Olympics thread will be greeted with multiple pages of 'what the fuck is this?'

    Fair enough, yeah that makes sense re survival instinct. It's weird how survival instinct overcomes total lack of human feeling in sociopaths. But then it's more a lack of feeling for others. They have narcissism towards themselves, so in that sense it makes sense why they'd be totally...

    They gave a nod to it in the opening ceremony didn't they? The masked 'person' (in reality several guys or girls) doing parkour and traversing across Paris, until eventually giving Zidane the Olympic flame, lol.

    This isn't so much off topic as pissed all over the topic. I suppose it isn't THAT much of a stretch to go from olympic sport to guy climing eiffel tower to extreme sports. But you bringing up serial killers is dark lol.

    Yeah, they're weird. I don't think they fear being put to death, but they do everything to avoid being caught. It's a weird contradiction. Maybe, as I say, they just wanna beat the police and go as long as possible as they can to kill as many people as they can.

    So you might be asking, if they don't have feelings or empathy, how do they get a thrill from murder? No idea to be honest. maybe it's that lack of empathy that causes it. With them a lot of it is sexual too.

    Summer Olympics Paris - 2024

    I always agreed, to some extent. Well, psychopaths have no empathy, or feeling generally. So I would suggest they don't fear getting caught (even if they wanna stay out of prison as it's a game to them). They probably have no fear of capital punishment and being sentenced to death either. I am...

    Summer Olympics Paris - 2024

    I agree with that and sort of made the same point myself. I agree with all you say. I said you can expose yourself gradually, but eventually you have to take a massive leap of faith. You can maybe practice tightrope walking as high as a few stories, or even 6 or 7. But nothing prepares you for...

    Summer Olympics Paris - 2024

    I agree that there must be at least a little fear to produce the adrenaline rush of 'beating the risk' in extreme sports. Otherwise why do it? They wouldn't feel the rush of prevailing if there was no fear in the first place. maybe for guys like Petit, there's no fear and he did it just to show...

    Yeah, getting players more comfortable with the ball, removing their nerves about playing in front of thousands and millions on TV. Maybe the best example is the penalty shootout. They practice it but can never replicate the nerves of the actual shootout in front of millions. Like rock climbers...

    There must have been, because you asked that question literally to Horatio. I was surprised you asked it because as you say, it's a captain obvious take. Maybe you meant it sarcastically and rhetorically to Horatio.

    Summer Olympics Paris - 2024

    True, it's a different type of fear though. It's a fear of failure, rather than a fear that is converted to adrenaline and a deep rush at being able to scale a wall or sky dive. I guess in those extreme sports the 'fear of failure' has an incentive of not dying lol.

    Summer Olympics Paris - 2024

    Rock climbing, sky diving, tightrope walking are a bit different. They're sports where you can literally die if you don't have talent lol. Obese Mike off the street isn't gonna die if he plays a game of football. Other than maybe a heart attack because he's too fat.

    No, he means that everyone can improve within their own potential and personal limit, be the best they can be, if they work hard. Nobody can be Messi with hard work. But they can be the best version of themselves. For some that is still rubbish, for others it takes them from average to good...

    Summer Olympics Paris - 2024

    It was something that I overlooked til you mentioned it, but it makes sense. Minus fear, the adrenaline rush and thrill of 'beating the risk' wouldn't be there anyway. Because without fear, there is no risk to them. Unless they feel no fear and the 'fear' is death rather than the activity...

    Summer Olympics Paris - 2024

    I know, I am agreeing with you. I made two posts there that basically agree with you. It's that old thing about extreme talent being the best, but you still need to be professional and put the work in. If Messi sat on his arse eating pizza all day he'd still be great but it would give clowns...

    Summer Olympics Paris - 2024

    I agree though that they feel a lot less fear naturally than most humans, the same way Messi is better with a ball than all humans. Whether they feel NO fear? Well you'd have to ask them that. And they probably don't know themselves if they felt it when they started out as they're so used to...
