I was reading about aborted attempts and lifesaving exercises on Everest. This stuff is just pornography - a civilisational exercise of assigning arbitarily high value to arbitrary lifestyle achievements, and then narrating the drama of success / failure.
There's no grand strategy about this - we only do this to help children manage their own development in a world that has no sense for optimisation. When the child is mature, they become a good soldier for the contemporary industrial complex. :)
