Dude got mugged twice IMMEDIATELY upon starting his cycling trip and still thought “oh people are exaggerating about it being dangerous”. Crazy

If the locals are telling you you're going to die and you ignore them, you're about 50 crayons short of a 64 pack.

He spent a year preparing for the trip yet still went completely unprepared.

I guess he figured he could become a motivational speaker for people who dream about adventure without realizing they are listening to an idiot.

….and after all of this Tedx gave him a platform to reframe his ill conceived plan as a heroic journey of compassion.

when someone says it's dangerous, then you go and it's not dangerous for you, it doesn't mean it's not dangerous. it means you just happened, by chance, to avoid said danger. It's always possible to go somewhere dangerous and just not encounter the danger. it doesn't mean it's not dangerous.

How this guy survived the Amazon without his frontal cortex developed is beyond me.

The guy literally said that there was no urgency which upset him. A 1 hour negotiation and planning session is the definition of urgency in the remote jungle. The fact that he didn't understand that meant that he didn't belong there.

I would find him less irritating if he had done something to show gratitude to the villages and villagers who worked together and carried him to safety through the night without any modern fancy help or equipment.
