   @sj Evola has a hilarious essay where he says skiing is degenerate and anti-civilizational because you're declining and letting gravity take you instead of STRIVING UPWARD, CLIMBING UP TOWARD THE SUN, ASCENDING BEYOND YOURSELF

     @augustus can we make an exception if you summit K2 solo right before though?

     @sj of course, most deaths on K2 actually happen on the way down

     @augustus The way I see it, there's a chance of death at any time on K2. So if you ski fast enough, you'll be down so quick death won't have a chance.

     @chemical_ali @sj T.S. Eliot’s the Waste Land opens up with a similar metaphor:

     And when we were children, staying at the archduke’s,
     My cousin’s, he took me out on a sled,
     And I was frightened. He said, Marie,
     Marie, hold on tight. And down we went.

     which mirrors the rest of the poem about civilization sinking after ww1
