Indeed.
Most of life is like a 100m race where it's allowed to turn up and start early.
ie anybody can easily beat Usain Bolt by just starting a few seconds before him.
There are some things which are perhaps a bit more like the highjump - where I'm never going to beat the worlds best no matter how many attempts I do - however these kind of things are very much the exception, not the rule.
- WJW 11mo agoMost fields which are like highjumps have considerable incentives to develop tools to aid in performance. Even the greatest high jumper can't beat a muggle with a ladder, after all. Nor is any weightlifter a match for a forklift.
- DrScientist 11mo agoFair point which would suggest that's why such things are the exception. 'All analogies are flawed' A quick google search suggests this universal law hasn't been claimed - thus I'm claiming it for my own - DrScientists Law.
