But those experiences are just self induced near death experiences. It's an illusion of meaning

Just like sitting in a chair all your life and eating fast food until you actually have a real self induced death experience , sans adrenaline.

Sure, but to be fair, so is everything else.

Met billionaires, actors, famous people. Saw places I'd never have seen that are some of the most beautiful on Earth, and even got married at one of them.

Talking about all the things around the experience. In fact most of the reason I still continue to do it is the people.
