This is so blatantly obvious it hurts. This person lucked out (of course most likely due to talent, opportunity and effort inclusive) in exactly 1 (one) thing and now believes he "can".

He states he learned that hiking without training was dumb and acknowledges it was dangerous. Good. Lesson learned?

No. Still has no clue GOVERNMENT - y'know, the most complicated thing in the world to do right - may be, bear with me here, just a tad bit more complicated than elementary hiking safety training (recall: the very basics of the thing he just learned he should have learned, and risked dying for not learning)

I'm sorry if I'm a bit harsh but god damned if this doesn't sound like a completely clueless person.
