I will take short term damage over long term tyranny

• ed25519FUUU 6y ago
  A Samuel Adams quote posted by Naval today on twitter I’ve been thinking about: > If you love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom — go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen! Feeling hungry for change, what will our generation trade in exchange for our inheritance?

    Personal opinion: Naval is one of the most insufferable personalities on twitter, it's just vain quotes and other empty statements with vague meanings

  Like the results of a numerical integration, the long term is the sum of all the short terms that came before it. Long term damage is the inevitable consequence of too many bad short term decisions. Poor short term leadership damages societies just as a poorly maintained codebase rots from accumulated technical debt.
