Basically same thing here. Companies don’t promote those who preserve good things. They want new things.
- gherkinnn 5y agoMaybe that’s not a bad idea. If we’d all be fire marshalls, our species would never have started cooking food.
- planet-and-halo 5y agoThis is also sort of baked into human nature. We adapt to things, the flip side of which is taking them for granted. That makes it easier to justify "improvements." Human beings are not good at leaving things alone.
- akudha 5y agoThis kind of thinking is every where. There is a reason politicians announce grand projects and cut ribbons in full public few (never mind these projects exceed budget and timeline multiple times) instead of fixing existing failing infrastructure.
