One brighter example to look to among these wastes is Fridjtof Nansen, who fucking designed a ship to be trapped in the ice, and then stranded himself amidst the floes on purpose, to try to ride the current to the pole.
It seems like absolute madness, but it was brilliantly planned and executed, adaptive to the environment and based on constant experimentation and improvement, and he and all hands lived to tell the tale.
And he then went on to fight for Norwegian independence, and be a pioneering advocate for refugees in the aftermath of the Great War, and finally a Nobel laureate. The way out is through.
