The crew who died on the Titan submersible should be remembered not as wealthy tourists but as explorers, like the ones who mapped the Arctic and pioneered aviation a century ago https://t.co/gbSN3xvZPG

Diving in scuba gear would have been safer. At least you’d know you weren’t coming back. Or maybe climbers of Everest, in shorts and T-shirts. Pioneering a new way of mountain climbing; or deep sea diving. Because what do the experts know about…pioneering?

Because, sure, people who are gulled by a fool who thinks he knows more than the experts, are themselves just pioneers on the frontier of new ways to die, needlessly.

I might expect this on Twitter or some random blog (where no one would read it, because honestly, who reads blogs?), but the pages of the WSJ?

Having written that, I realize: it’s the WSJ. Where else would it appear?
