The Art of Manliness

NOTE

Are You Perfect in Following These Things?

The term that I use for this is kill criteria. One of my favorite examples of this type of thinking is called the turnaround time, which they use in mountain climbing. On Everest, when you go on summit day, you're leaving it about midnight from camp four to head toward the summit. And that turnaround time is 1 p.m. That's basically the probability that something really terrible is going to happen gets up too high. Are people perfect in following these things? No but more people follow them than don't because you've actually thought about this in advance.
