Specifically, the wrong thing was not that he climbed the mountain without any safety equipment, but the fact that he realized that it was dangerous!
That does not seem like a good summary. He knew beforehand that it was dangerous and knew it afterhand. The problem that was him not being focused on climbing while pursuing a goal where being focused on climbing is important to be successful.
But it still feels that the lesson could be summarized as: “talk like everyone outside the rationalist community does all the time”.
No. People not listening to other people and instead thinking about what they will say next is something that normal people frequently do.
