Call me a cynic, but this is about the guy who went to live into the wilderness underprepared and full of noble ideas and died, either from poisoning or from hunger.
Now he has his own wikipedia page and inspires people.
I mean, wouldn't one rather admire someone who tried a similar thing, but was prepared and succeeded?
- Goladus 13y agoI mean, wouldn't one rather admire someone who tried a similar thing, but was prepared and succeeded? Do you have any examples? Ted Kaczynski doesn't count. I have one: Sooyong Park. You know why he's not widely admired? Because people don't know much about him because no one's been able popularize a good narrative about him. Some it it is just marketing, and the extent to which he succeeded or not is a minor detail. Also, what Park did was dangerous, too, filming tigers in the Siberian wilderness. He easily could have died accidentally in similar fashion to McCandless. He was prepared be he still could have been killed many times.
