No, I don't think that this is the point...the topic in the movie is very clearly about people willing to do creative, autonomous work for free, without any reward expectations of any kind - simply in order to contribute something that is their own and carries their identity. Let me give you an example also from my world, the world of classical music. The best example I can think of is Ludwig van Beethoven. Non of the works he wrote simply on commission, out of pecuniary needs, are among his best. The symphonies, the "Hammerklavier" sonata, the late string quartets and many others among the really great works he wrote being driven by a completely different motivation. Hector Berlioz also points out this issue very clearly in his biography.MoapaPk wrote:If you've ever seen physics students going through multiple post-docs just to get some half-assed academic position, you seen the movie.

Geez, guess this puts more pressure on me to become more creative.

I don't see this as being shit, I find it pretty remarkable what this Ueli Stecker has achieved, and the entirely clean method he has of climbing these mountains...some people say he has no respect for the mountains...sorry, I don't know what these people are talking about. He climbs them without leaving any litter whatsoever behind - not even pegs!The Chief wrote:Here's More Shit that very much motivates this Human....

Hmmm...yes, Nutella used to be a motivation factor for me, but ever since I have to watch out 'cause of my waistline, that falls more under the category "tempi passati"...jschrock wrote:
