You're the same type of wimp the GP was referring to: lacking skill in internal-state management.

If you believe you need to "slow down," you will think it's the only way to manage your state. If you see someone else espousing "you can go as fast as you like, deglove your entire body, and still feel alright" you'll learn that it's possible to live another way.

The human nervous system has a wealth of tools at its disposal, and your suggestion that people eschew them in favor of simply avoiding the circumstances required that call for these very same tools is meek and unvirtuous.
