Reading about this tree climber, I noticed how when he used the word angiosperm, I was surprised by his intelligence, as if being a tree climber is something less intelligent people do. I'm ashamed of that. And, to see how dedicated he is to protecting forests and coming from such humble beginnings, it made me further ashamed of my privilege and what I'm using it for. This community on HN talks a lot about "changing the world": this guy is doing it, truly, in such an important and unrecognized way.
