I mean, plenty of people actively seek out dangerous challenges without being bad at normal life. I’d go so far as to say that enjoying fear and near-death adrenaline highs is a normal human trait. Not universal, but certainly fairly common.
We see the aurochs and think, “Bet I could jump on it’s back and stab it to death” and even if twenty of our friends die trying, if we manage it and survive we then go on to have a dozen babies because everyone in the tribe thinks we are cool as heck.
Like a species that historically has often designed actively less protective armor than they are capable of making because it looked better, isn’t staying home because the high-reward-high-glory-protect-your-neighbors job is dangerous.
A blind man climbed Mt Everest. Climbing that death trap is so much more foolish than fighting monsters, but I wouldn’t for a second assume that everyone who has done it couldn’t work an office job or as a mechanic. That would be absurd.
