    I wouldn’t count a multiple day walk as a single walk.

    When you get to sleep, it starts a new walk.

    Otherwise I have been having a walk for my entire life.

    Petition to rename this epic journey as “The Walk For The Ages”.

    I want a book, movie, and an epic ballad with at least a dozen dozen stanzas!

    Welp there you have it. If you want to challenge his conclusion you must walk long and hit more countries than he did.

        But then you don’t get to sing that 500 miles song. At least go 5 miles while muttering about multipliers between verses.

      Honestly it sounds more like he went in with a preconceived notion, received data that verified his preconceived notion was incorrect, and then told everyone his preconceived notion seemed correct.

    It would be a white guy in the 1980s. “Yeah the world isn’t that terrible”

    Dudes don’t even have to think twice walking to their car at night.

    Despite the horrid things that occur in this world, I do believe that people are fundamentally good and want to do good for the people around them. The people that do evil things were not born that way.

        Yep, the majority are good people that assume others are good people too. And they get ruthlessly exploited by sociopaths that end up ruling everyone and forcing all of us to live our lives along their zero-sum worldview.
