I generally do agree with what he's saying (and I certainly agree with everything in the article he linked to). For myself, though, I am much less of a thrill seeker than Wiley - I don't find that kind of adrenaline rush to be very much fun, and see no reason to throw myself out of a perfectly good airplane. For the most part I have little problem with Wiley doing these things, although we've disagreed on a few things that are way off my meter in terms of his taking risks (riding a motorcycle in Boston being one of those), but for the most part, I trust his assessment of the risks of the things he does, and I trust his judgement, even when it makes me nervous.
We also fight because he has a protective streak that drives me absolutely batshit - where he seems to think that he can decide whether something is safe enough for me to be doing, and telling me what to do based on his assessment. Interesting, eh?
