I'm given to think we're 'successful' mostly by blind luck
COVID gave us a reality check and I doubt most people recognised it as such. If it had Ebola mortality rate, any delusions of progress would be washed away with exacting precision. We are here by grace it seems, unscientific as that sounds, and have been resting on our heels giving generous valuations to meaningless companies.
Heres a quote: The people of old knew and drew maps with 'here be the dragon', now they don't. Doesnt mean the dragons aren't there.
