"If Skurka consciously chooses that route of self-development instead of the more common and socially expected one, that's not Peter Pan syndrome. It's just a different path."
IME, it's the preferred path. To this day, I take it as a compliment when someone tells me to grow up. ;o)
"The Artic 1000 took a type of mental maturity most of us here will never achieve."
It definitely took mental maturity, if by that you mean putting your egos aside and
focusing on the business at hand with a clear mind, realistic expectations of what is
within your capabilities under the circumstances in which you find yourselves, and planning/acting accordingly. However, I disagree that this kind of mental maturity will never be achieved by most of us. Anybody who is into climbing of any kind, diving(free or with tanks), or any number of other activities with potentially fatal consequences, achieve that kind of mental maturity on a regular basis. Or die. -
