DeepL returned "Very much in the government, very much in the field." Dulles seems to have been reflecting on a result of game theory that says it can pay off for an asshole in a positive sum game to attempt to take more than their numeric share of the positive margin off the table. If kaizen is the way to approach local optima, do we have a single word to describe seeking global optima? (someone once said compiler optimisations would more honestly be called ameliorations; I guess that could make a "local optimum" also an "ameliorum" point?) What's the usual connotation of 非? Thus far I only know it from emergency exit, so reading "not-" to form "unusual/abnormal exit" seemed perfectly logical. EDIT: compare 非ユークリッド幾何学, 非鉄金属, ...

  So, actually looking in my dead-tree kanji dictionary yielded a small table of the differences between 非…, 不…, 無…, and 未…: 非 negative judgement 不 negation of a state or action 無 negation of existence 未 negation of existence to date (=not yet) so I guess "unfortunate exit" is very parallel to "emergency exit" and my previous examples were more exceptional usages.

    Dayum that sounds like a helpful dict. Other reasons for picking it? Edit: the gap seems smaller than I'd expect when one sorts them by usage? https://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-mf/idiom.php?word=%E9%9D%9E https://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-mf/idiom.php?wor... https://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-mf/idiom.php?word=不 https://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-mf/idiom.php?wor... On Dulles.. I like YC's very parallel usage of "asshole" here (helpful notation+ seems like they hired a cyborg (ofc) to do the translation?) https://coralcap.co/2022/02/why-japanese-startups-dont-apply-to-yc/ https://coralcap.co/2022/02/why-japanese-startups-dont-apply...

      The main reason for picking it was the stroke index, because I almost always had no clue about readings. A secondary reason is that it claims to be ordered more or less by usage, so we can also see what a ca. 1980s Gakken thought of relative frequency: 不 134 無 227 非 491 未 801
