We are missing Content between Normal and Extreme. Wrong Audience for Chaotic

I wish more people on here were more aware of the inherent bias that comes with their own skill level.

Let's say this were a forum on running -- There are a lot of people on this forum who are the equivalent of marine level of physical training, who can do the marathon in full gear with a load on their backs. And they mostly only hang out with their own. And they will say that doing it without all that extra weight is just easy mode -- but that means their idea of easy mode is still running a marathon, which is even proverbially already considered a peak of achievement for the more general masses.

And all the sentiment that people just want everything handed to them with no effort is much like saying that everyone who doesn't think they're up to a marathon and instead wants to enter a five or ten mile run, or go a different flavor of walking like take on a hike trail, shouldn't consider themselves worthy of being taken seriously as runners.

What a delightful analogy. 100% agree.
