The type of person that wants to climb Everest is what I refer to as "Checklisters". They have a list of things they want to do so that they can impress others and they run through that list collecting prestige points.
Its the same empty emotion as greed. And just like greed it is a bottomless pit where it is never enough.
Because of that, when someone tells me they did something like climb Everest, I instantly write them off as a very shallow person that only cares about what other people think of them.

- ianai 7y agoMaybe there’d be more progress if these greedy people were told they’re not impressing anybody?-preferably somehow politely but firmly.
- jobigoud 7y agoHmmm, I keep a list of things I want to do. Like poke lava with a stick, attend a rocket launch, visit meteor crater, write a tool used by a million people. I don't see it as necessarily bad to have a checklist. It helps manage time.
