Dumbest life decision Besides making a bad life decision that cost him his life, he also got the opportunity to take a step back

Dumbest life decision Besides making a bad life decision that cost him his life, he also got the opportunity to take a step back but decided to dive back in immediately:


There is an island called "North Sentinel" which is home to 150 natives who vehemently refuse all contact with the outside world.

This rule makes sense, as these human beings are not accustomed to the diseases of the modern world, and any contact could lead to contamination that would be fatal to their small tribe.


But this didn't stop John Allex Chau, a 27-year-old preacher, from travelling to the island to preach about Jesus Christ

He was showered with arrows which, fortunately for him, all missed their target.
Logically, he decided to return the following day for a second attempt.
A completely dumb decision, as the poor man would never leave the island alive.
Didn’t he think God was maybe sending him a divine message the first time the arrows missed his head?

Execution Method That is The Definition Of Cruel And Unusual Death By Gibbet

Execution Method That is The Definition Of Cruel And Unusual Death By Gibbet Gibbeting was the practice of locking criminals in human-shaped cages and hanging them up for display in public areas as a warning to others. The gibbet itself refers to the wooden structure from which the cage was hung.  In some cases, people were already executed prior to being gibbeted. But in other cases, they were still alive and left to die of exposure and starvation. Immobile and ghastly while alive — and reeking once dead — people who were gibbeted were haunting to behold. The Medieval origin of gibbeting is often overlooked due to the popularity of the punishment in 1740s Britain. Nonetheless, many people before then were sentenced to die by being trapped in this torturous contraption. Leaders of Germany’s Anabaptist movement in Münster were gibbeted in 1536, and the steel cages are still on display to this day. The United Kingdom also has gibbets...

This is Grigori Perelman, a mathematician who refused to accept a fields medal and the $1,000,000 prize  In 2002, Russian mathematician Grigori Perelman published the first of three groundbreaking papers offering a proof for the famous Poincaré conjecture, one of the toughest unsolved problems in math.  He was awarded the prestigious Fields Medal in 2006 and 1M reward from the Clay Mathematics Institute- he refused to accept both. Grigori Perelman. Winner of the Fields Medal (one of the most honorable awards in mathematics). And winner of a million dollars for solving the "Poincaré Conjecture", one of the seven problems of the millennium. He rejected both awards and currently lives a simple life, isolated from the mathematical community, yet he is one of the greatest minds of this century. Why did Grigori Perelman refuse $1 million? According to Interfax, Perelman refused to accept the Millennium prize in July 2010.  He considered the...
