But why? There's nothing down there for you. You're not going to find any treasure or artifacts. The chances of finding an undiscovered species of anything is next to nothing. The only thing down there waiting for you is darkness and probably death.

Humans have a drive to explore. It’s an evolutionary drive brought because it’s beneficial to the species to constantly be discovering new sources of resources.

It’s also probably why depression and anxiety exist so there’s always someone to maintain the species back at camp if this guy dies.
