      "One night I dreamed a dream.
      As I was walking along the beach with Griffin McElroy,
      Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.
      For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
      One belonging to me and one to Griffin McElroy.
      After the last scene of my life flashed before me,
      I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
      I noticed that at many times along the path of my life,
      especially at the very lowest and saddest times,
      there was only one set of footprints.
      This really troubled me, so I asked Griffin McElroy about it.
      'Griffin McElroy, you said once I decided to follow you,
      You'd walk with me all the way.
      But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life,
      there was only one set of footprints.
      I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me.'
      He whispered, 'My precious child, I love you and will never leave you
      Never, ever, during your trials and testings.
      When you saw only one set of footprints,
      It was then that I carried you.'" -Brian David Gilbert

    This remains one of the most impressive performances I've ever seen. The intellect, humor, charisma, and raw talent required to pull this off is astounding. Brian takes us through art history, music theory and composition, spreadsheets, standup comedy, and choreography, while capturing the nostalgia of our collective experiences of love and loss with all the pocket monsters we've known along the way.

      I disagree, Male peak performance is an individual who is physically powerful as well as intellectually powerful, good with words, confidence, strength, empathy, etc.
      This is just a dude good with matching words, kids memorize pages of presentations in grade school, the ability to memorize names, words, structured sentences is in us all and a lot of us still do it.
      He is good though, lot of men out there are great at what they do but if we talk the "peak" of any sex, we have to look at the one extreme. A bodybuilding theoretical Physicist with a loving home life would be a Peak male. But that is a LOT of work, would create stress and would turn that peak male into something bad quick, we're humans. We're limited.
      For example, a Woman saying "I can do everything a man can", I reply by saying "Impressive, because I can't".
      We are animals, we all can specialize in certain fields but our brains and body, plus the little time we're here, limits our ability to reach the "Peak".
      So whats more realistic? A health toned male, respectful, reliable, has integrity and dignity, confidence, works hard at their Career/specialized field, has his flaws, but loves his family and friends and always tries to be there for them.
      But now this is my definition. So.. what is the peak?
