I mean, obviously, occasionally I stress about things, but just not the way I think a lot of people do.
Well, presumably.
I mean, like meditation, things like that.
I think people can sort of find a way to let go of certain things.
Different natures.
But I do feel like, in my case, the biggest difference in nature is the fact that I've just always loved climbing.
You know, because basically I think that nurture is the majority of this.
Like, if you spend 30 years training a thing, you're going to get better at the thing.
And so I think that the biggest difference between me and somebody who's not into rock climbing is that I freaking love rock climbing.
I could do it 10 days a week if I could.
You know what I mean?
But sadly, I get too tired and my body breaks down.
And so...
I basically have a limitless capacity to do the thing.
I just love doing the thing.
And I think that that is probably the biggest difference in nature.
Because everything else you can kind of overcome.
If you loved rock climbing as much as I love rock climbing, no matter what your genetic disposition towards neuroticism and all that stuff, you would just kind of work through all that stuff and you'd find your own path to getting good at climbing, basically.
I wouldn't give them advice.
I'd be like, you do you.
