The Third Man Factor is a psychological phenomenon observed in individuals facing life-threatening situations. In such extreme circumstances, people report sensing the presence of an unseen companion, often referred to as the “third man.” This phenomenon gained prominence through historical accounts, with Sir Ernest Shackleton describing it during his Antarctic expedition when stranded with his crew after the ship Endurance became trapped in ice.
Experiences of the Third Man Factor can vary. Some individuals report feeling a distinct presence, while others may describe hearing a voice or sensing guidance. The nature of the “third man” can also vary, ranging from a religious or spiritual figure to a representation of a deceased loved one.
The phenomenon tends to occur in contexts of extreme isolation, danger, or stress. Here are a few notable instances:
Tumblr media
Ernest Shackleton’s Antarctic Expedition (1914-1916): Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew faced a harrowing ordeal when their ship, the Endurance, became trapped in Antarctic ice. Shackleton later wrote about the presence of an unseen companion that seemed to accompany him and other members of the expedition during critical moments. The “third man” presence provided a source of strength and guidance.
Joe Simpson’s Mountaineering Ordeal (1985): Joe Simpson, a mountaineer and author, experienced the Third Man Factor during a perilous descent of Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes. After a severe fall and being left for dead by his climbing partner, Simon Yates, Simpson reported the presence of a phantom companion who encouraged and guided him back to safety.
Aron Ralston’s Canyon Survival (2003): Aron Ralston, the subject of the film “127 Hours,” faced a life-threatening situation when his arm became trapped under a boulder while hiking in a remote Utah canyon. During his ordeal, Ralston reported a hallucination of a young boy appearing to him, offering comfort and companionship. This presence helped him endure the physical and emotional challenges until his eventual rescue.
Tumblr media
Apollo 12 Moon Mission (1969): During the Apollo 12 mission to the moon, astronaut Charles “Pete” Conrad reported a strange experience. He felt the presence of an unseen entity during a moonwalk, which he later likened to the Third Man Factor. Conrad described a feeling of guidance and support during a crucial moment of the mission.
Psychologists and researchers have proposed that the Third Man Factor may be a psychological coping mechanism. Under intense stress, the brain may create a supportive figure to provide comfort and guidance. This phenomenon has had a notable impact on literature, influencing stories of survival and exploration.

REVIEW: La Boriqueña Vol. 1
Man, I’ll be honest. Sometimes this whole comic reviewing gig is a hard job. Sometimes you get comics like this that put you right where Aron Ralston was, between a rock and a hard place. So let’s get you a little context before we begin reviewing. First of all, I am Antonio “Mabs” My full name is Antonio Luis Rodriguez Padilla, not a particularly American name you might think, and you would be…

#76 | 127 Hours
“There are a million things we survive every day without recognizing we were ever at risk. Then we have a close call, and we become acutely aware of what that fraction of an inch or that split second means.”—Aron Ralston On April 26, 2003, Aron Ralston took a solo hiking trip in Blue John Canyon, located in the remote Canyonlands National Park in Utah. Aron had explored many mountains before. He…

James Franco has '127 Hours' to save himself on Hulu
James Franco has ‘127 Hours’ to save himself on Hulu
The true story of outdoorsman and hiker Aron Ralston, whose spontaneous solo trek in the desert almost killed him, made for a riveting memoir. But it was thought unfilmable, given that Aron ends up trapped and alone in a crevice, his arm pinned by a boulder and his existence suddenly reduced to a sliver of a world. There’s not a soul who knows he’s there. James Franco plays Ralston in 127 Hours…

My Top 50 Favorite Movies
7
127 Hours (2010)
Director Danny Boyle has worked up an amazing filmmaking career for himself ranging from Trainspotting to 28 Days Later to Slum Dog Millionaire. His filmmaking techniques are catchy and on point. in 2010 he took a real life story of Aron Ralston, a hiker whose arm gets trapped in a boulder in an awful predicament and must think of the only plausible way of survival which is to cut off his arm and pray he will survive. The real life story caught a lot of attention on national news and therefore a movie went into production about his near-death experience. James Franco is the man cast to play Ralston, where the movie details the events leading up to his arm being stuck, nothing more then a man going on about his hike. Once he is trapped, the movie reflects on Ralston's life on flashback scenes between his regrets, happy memories and moments he may be missing out on. Death is on the brink, and Aron needs to act quickly or else he's trapped forever. My favorite scenes is when Aron hallucinates and pictures himself in dream-like scenarios. These moments are met with an irony, almost relatable to scenarios we make up in our minds if we're to be in a tough place. Danny Boyle makes little into something spectacular, we know minimal about Aron coming in, only to feel a lot like him coming out. A blessing of a true story turned movie.

i just know for a fact Eddie doesn’t know any celebrity names but he knows the most random shit.
i’m just picturing husband or dad! Eddie, somewhere around 30s/40s in age.
you guys are in the car and maybe the basic radio is playing or you’re hooked up to the bluetooth, either way there’s music playing.
Dua Lipa’s ‘Dance the Night Away’ comes on and even though you’re paying more attention to the cars that pass by, a thought pops in your head.
“Baby,” you turn to him, “do you know who sings this?”
For a second he just listens and you can see the gears turning in his head like he’s trying hard to figure who’s voice is coming through the speakers.
“Yeah, it’s Jen Montana.” Eddie says it with so much confidence, smiling brightly that he could remember.
When you correct him and tell him the actual name, he proceeds to tell you that Jen Montana is a real person and she was a very famous popstar. He clearly meant Hannah Montana.
Another time you guys are in your living room sprawled out on the couch, lazing about. Deciding that you had enough phone time, you asks if he wants to watch a movie and he quickly agrees, saying there’s on he really wanted to watch.
Leaving your spot on the comfy sofa, you pad to the kitchen to make some popcorn. When you return Eddie’s got his Ipad in his hand, glasses sitting on the bridge of his nose, tapping away on the screen clearly looking for something.
“I thought we were watchin movie, baby.” You say and he turns his head up at you, tongue still poked out from when he was concentrating.
“We are! I just couldn’t remember the name of the movie I wanted to watch s’all.”
“Well just tell me the actor or actress and i’ll use the remote to look it up.” Sitting back down in your spot, you place the bowl on popcorn between the two of you.
“It’s that one with Sofia Mascara girl.” popping a handful of popcorn in his mouth, he stares straight ahead at the tv like a small child, excited and ready to watch something.
You’re lost, completely and 100% lost. Who the fuck was he talking about because that clearly wasn’t a person. You’re still staring at him like he has five heads, trying to work every part of your brain to understand who he meant. Turning his curly haired head back to you, his eyebrows furrow at your expression.
“What’s wrong?” It’s almost annoying how unaware he is sometimes.
“Eds, that’s not a person.” you try to say it calmly, not wanting to get upset over something this stupid.
“Yes it is, babe! She’s the girl in that one movie! Remember?” He rolls his eyes at you, like you’re the one who said something ridiculous.
“That narrows it down to like, a thousand people.” You deadpan and he huffs.
“The one movie when she’s like screaming and her boyfriend where a bear costume!”
“That’s fucking Florence Pugh, Edward! Not Sofia Mascara!” He laughs at how angry you get and it makes you even angrier.
“Yeah, yeah, same difference.”
It boggles your mind how he can’t remember a single celebrity’s name, but he can remember things that no one else does.
The two of you are laid out in bed, the darkness taking over the space. You’re eyes grow heavier, sleep about to take over your body.
“Do you ever think about what Aron Ralston is doing?” Eddie’s voice is thick with sleepiness.
“Who?” Your lips are smooshed against the cushion of your pillow, causing your words to sound muffled.
“The guy that chopped off his arm when he got stuck in the Grand Canyon! They made that movie with the Green Goblin’s son.” You don’t have to open your eyes to know he’s looking at you in a strange way for not knowing the man’s name.
Either way, you’re too tired to argue or even indulge in this conversation.
“No, I don’t think about what he’s doing during his day.”
“Maybe you should, dude almost died ya know.” He says to you and you almost want to stop talking.
“Okay, well I’ll send him an apology in the morning for not thinking about his daily routine. Can we go to sleep now?”
So yeah, Eddie doesn’t know mainstream artists and actors names but he can tell you any random fact you wanna know.

FOREST EPISODE FOREST EPISODE FOREST EPISODE. We begin with some really ineffective search-and-rescue techniques and Big getting zero emotional support from his boss.
Tumblr media
Kinn's offense at being spit on is so funny to me.
Tumblr media
The SMILES.
Tumblr media
Every time I see this shot, I start Googling "plane tickets Thailand"
Tumblr media
BREAD SIGHTING. Thanks, Vegas, for the stakeout snack of ... a small bag of bread.
Tumblr media
Porsche just continually pulling lighters, knives, etc from his pockets is also very funny to me.
Tumblr media
This just looks fun.
Tumblr media
I watched the BTS, I know they almost gave Apo hypothermia for this scene. Thanks for your commitment to your art, Apo.
Tumblr media
Yes, and it's the only psychological explanation for why he hasn't told his dad to fuck himself and pulled a Kim.
Tumblr media
I really like the progression of Kinn's apologies. He actually first apologizes back at Porsche's house in Episode 5, but only for punishing Porsche after their night together. In this first apology of this episode, he gets a little closer to what he's really sorry for, but can't quite manage to say it.
Tumblr media
Pretty cinematography is pretty.
Tumblr media
Here's the next sorry, the one where he actually says that it's for what he did to Porsche that night.
Tumblr media
Kinn gets a rightful amount of flak for repressing his feelings, but Porsche is probably worse! He's so uncomfortable.
Tumblr media
HEH at Kinn's eyeroll for Porsche's brilliant hand amputation plan.
Tumblr media
Porsche has neither watched "127 Hours" nor read Aron Ralston's autobiography.
Tumblr media
Kinn's third apology in this episode (and I love the use of the rule of threes here!) is letting Porsche go. Sob.
Tumblr media
Five minutes ago I was laughing at this doofus for offering to cut off his own hand with a switchblade knife, now I'm crying.

"Between a Rock and a Hard Place" is an idiom that describes a situation where one is faced with two equally difficult or unpleasant choices, with no clear or easy option available.
A very clear example of this is Israel's current situation - wanting to get the hostages back forcing it to stop its military operation against Hamas.
This phrase is often used to capture the essence of a dilemma where every available option seems to lead to an unsatisfactory outcome, forcing the individual to make a tough decision.
The origin of this expression is somewhat unclear, but it is thought to have ancient roots.
The phrase gained significant popularity and renewed understanding in more recent times, particularly following the harrowing experience of Aron Ralston, a mountaineer whose ordeal was famously depicted in the movie "127 hours".
Ralston found himself literally trapped between a rock and a hard place – his arm was pinned by a boulder in a remote canyon. His story dramatically epitomizes the idiom, as he faced a grim choice between two harrowing options: enduring potentially fatal dehydration or amputating his own arm to escape.
"Between a rock and a hard place" speaks to the human condition of facing tough choices. It reminds us that life often presents complex challenges that require courage, determination, and sometimes, the willingness to accept and navigate through the discomfort of difficult decisions.

50 percent of the time I am a person and the other 50 percent I am a domesticated house cat
I've never heard of a cat chewing off a limb to escape a trap so I'm assuming you've pulled an Aron Ralston and that's the human side of you that did it

I mentioned I was watching a documentary about Aron Ralston (the hiker) and my mom goes, "oh the soldier right?"
and I still have no idea what she's talking about, so like, if y'all know a documentary about a soldier named Aron Ralston or something similar let me know cause she insists this is real and the mystery is killing me

1, 6 and 16?
.1. fave book? MEAN why did you ask me that when it was one of the options, hard question. My default answer is Aron Ralston's autobiography, Between a Rock and a Hard Place (what the movie 127 Hours is based on). I've read it quite a few times and Twin gave me a signed copy for Christmas one year. Idk, reading about a man's mental and physical survival journey to cutting off his own arm (and all his adventures before this moment) hits me in the right spot. Books I've read recently, as I'm getting back into the whole reading thing, I supremely enjoyed Six of Crows and The Goblin Emperor.
6. fave trope? Another hard one. For this I'll say... main character denying that they're Special as they figure out they're Special. I'm listening to The Way of Kings at work and the few chapters it took for Kal to realize something was up, making excuses for why x or y happened, was delightful.
16. fave day? Fan of Thursdays. Something about it being over the hump of the week, get to look forward to the fact that tomorrow is Friday and then the weekend. It's nice.
faves ask game
#i appreciated the goblin emperor for how straight forward it was#loved the main character and you were absolutely rewarded as a reader for paying attention and predicting things#and then obviously six of crows - kaz is a blorbo and that heist is french chef's kiss#this is now just books i enjoyed and gideon and harrow the ninths both get mentions here#gideon was just a great ride and then harrow had the *best* twist. the pov reveal i had to pause and walk around for a minute#it was So Good#and i've been enjoying Way of Kings!#my friend sent me the audio book because she and another friend are obsessed with it#so i report to them as i get to different parts and have thoughts about what's happening#fun for everyone#kaladin has the worst fucking time guy can't catch a fucking break#i have a whole prediction for where he ends up but i dont know the pacing of this series for what happens when in what book#or even what the necessary overarching plot is of the entire series#the war obviously and uniting the kingdom i suppose - and the return of the knights radiant and the implications of that#but again idk the pacing of it - i'm almost done with book 1 and Kal is still having a terrible time with bridge four#and my prediction is that he's obvi gotta get out of there and end up in a place of prominence in the army#probably with dalinar because he's not a sack of dicks - and get a shard blade#(even though he doesn't want one I know - so it has More Implications when he does accept one)#my pet theory is he gets Dal's#but - again - first he has to get out of being a bridgeman#which assume will be a terrible time for him yet again and all his fellow bridgemen will die on their escape attempt#ah fuck and then however Shallan fits the fuck into all of this what is she even doing#any way if anyone else has read way of kings/stormlight archives enjoy my probably very wrong predictions#please do not spoil it for me i'm having a great time listening and guessing#ANYWAY thank you for the ask lizzie lol#ask game response#ask response
