Warriors, Risks, and Reckless Adventures

This chapter features a humorous exploration of historical archery and the effectiveness of silk against arrows, particularly among Mongol warriors. The conversation flows into the dangers of combat sports, the allure of thrill-seeking adventures, and the absurdity of risking life for glory, illustrated through anecdotes about climbing Everest and past fatal fights. It concludes with a lighthearted reflection on how parenthood reshapes one's views on risk and adventure.
