It's not bad, it's just not agile. Agile exists for projects where that simply isn't possible. Its sacrificing a bit of potential best-case productivity to ensure you don't get worst-case productivity.
The problem is that people realized that they could sell agile training to middle management if they changed it to be about making middle managers feel empowered and giving progress visibility to upper management.
But specifically fear instincts seems strange. It makes sense to us because we're us, but look at it more clinically: we seek out to stimulate the instinct that keeps us safe. That means that it'd doing the exact opposite of its purpose. If we seek to stimulate our fear, that means we seek to put ourselves in situations where fear is a reasonable response, which is exactly what fear was evolved to prevent.
How did this behavior develop, and how did we survive once it did?
I like that "safe space" theory, that seems very plausible.
It's still a bit messed up though, because that part of our brain can't distinguish between play fear and real fear, so we get "rewarded" for both which seems like a very risky move, evolutionary.
I can imagine the aliens being like
How did they survive to become the apex species?
Although with all the brinkmanship and poor threat analysis we've exhibiting now on a global scale, perhaps we won't survive as the apex species for long, so 🤷
Im gonna edit my post because everyone is too hung up on extreme sports.
Horror movies also fall under the same category of thing. It's not about the risk, it's about triggering fear response. I just picked extreme sports because I couldn't fit the whole premise in the title
Maybe I'll edit my post because you're not the first person who misunderstood. I'm specifically talking about thrill seeking, not extreme sports specifically. I couldn't fit the whole premise in the title so I just picked an example 😭
I splurged on some "nice" sweat pants, and that's pretty much all I wear for fall/winter/spring, when I have to leave the house. Cargo shorts for summer.
It used to be PJs all day every day, but those nice sweats were a game changer.
