In 2016 they took an MRI of this man's brain ( #AlexHonnold)
His #amygdala, our brains' fear center, remained inert as he was exposed to disturbing images (ours would light up)
He's basically the anti-MAGA (MAGA people are programmed via Fox News and insane social media content by goosing their overactive fear response)
He just free soloed (no ropes) #Taipei101, the 11th tallest building in the world in a little over an hour and a half
He convinced his mom to take up climbing at the age of 60
A Netflix livestream of Alex Honnold's attempt to scale Taipei 101 was postponed by 24 hours due to rain, the streaming giant announced. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/01/24/more-sports/taipei-101-postponed/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #moresports #taipei #taipei101 #netflix #alexhonnold
