- Seeks thrills/ fun
- involves risk (although everything in life is risky)
- has a life-changing outcome (positive or negative)
- answers questions (why would anyone skydive?)
- is unknown (it's not as fun/exciting if you know exactly what to do)
Oh, I know, I can learn to drive a race car. Sure, we've all experienced what it's like to speed in our cars, but imagine driving as fast as you want without the possibility of a speeding ticket. Most of the thrill would involve the speed itself and the possibility of wrecking the car. I would be mostly interested in seeing how fast I would dare to go before I start doubting my driving skills. Maybe I'll come close to wrecking the car, and learn that there's a reason for speed limits (I usually disregard them). I might just learn how to control a car at high speeds.
Driving a race car would be an adventure for most people, I think they'd agree. I wonder, though, what "questions" that might answer for you.
ReplyDeleteI think rewording your definition so that the "filters" are complete sentences will help this. Right now they're not very clear. For instance what exactly "is unknown"?
I"m assuming you'd arrange a situation whereby racing a car isn't unsafe... right?
What insight into the human condition? Life? etc.... might this adventure lead you to? What kind of insight, do you imagine?
