Follow this strategy too many times and you're out of new foci. It's particularly concerning if you're more fragile against the early challenges associated with a new endeavor. Many things won't look fruitful until you stick with them long enough to see over the first hill.
- colechristensen 7y agoRisk-taking diversity has value in a population. It is believable that there are sex and age based differences in the distribution of risk taking as a result of both culture and biology. Bias for or against an individual based on these tendencies is wrong when used to pre-judge that person. What about the outcome bias for people or groups with differing risk tendencies? Is it morally necessary to compensate for different risk strategies? Which ones and to what degree? Which sources of cause should get this privilege and which shouldn't? There is a vocal group that insists that any disparity in outcome needs to be corrected, at least for their preferred groups. There is another that insists that it is immoral to punish (in any way) the hard work and other characteristics that lead to success outcomes.
- noobiemcfoob 7y agoYou...really seem to be reading into my post. Moral necessity for rewarding different risk strategies? No, I'm not making any overarching claims to be taken up and enforced by a government or similar entity. And diversity of most sorts has value in a population. Actually, my biggest take away from all this is that it is even more important to stop framing things as zero-sum competitions and more as collaborations where an individual can find a space fitting of their grit, skills and interests.
