Quote from The RainMaker:
anyway !
exactly, life is random,
things happen, some fail and then succeed, a small percentage are born successful, most fail all their life
humans usually only talk of those who fail and then succeed, because most humans are losers and by repeating such stories they strengthen the belief in themselves that they too will one day become successful, at least if only they work hard enough,
working hard only increases your chances of success, but
does not guarantee it and wears your body and mind regardless of whether in the end you succeed or not
from a human perspective
there's a probability associated with everything ... the probability of any significant innovation given the human mental capabilities is almost zero ... thus the western world will suffer not only from zero growth in the coming decades but will actually degrade as the cost of resources and thus maintenance continue to increase ... on the other hand other countries will continue to reverse engineer western military technology and recreate it and sell it to eachother at one thousandth of what it cost countries like US to engineer them
all this none sense surrounding
bullshit like cold fusion is a direct result of western societies
desperately searching for a way out of their inevitable doom, they too know it's all false hope, but then it's just humans, like always, as they gain awareness that there is no hope from an inevitable unwanted end, they
become delusional and lose their grip on reality
