I like this essay. It reminds me of the way mountaineers think about risk. The common factor is that they all accept that the joy of ascent is worth some level of risk but at the same time you must apply discipline to keep that risk within within reasonable bounds. They aren't nihilists, just determined to drink life to the lees. [0] [0] https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/45392/ulysses https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/45392/ulysses
