They are adults, they can totally do what they want. I just personally want to draw attention to the fact his family is worried about him, that this could have mental health side effects, and that I find nothing about it cool or crazy or brave bc I am a stick in the mud.

Oh man I forgot Doug Polk was the other guy seemingly indifferent about whether or not his friend was in physical danger!

Yeah. Feels like a wormhole to another era.
