"All blanket statements are wrong" (is a blanket statement).
There's wide agreement that reality is complicated and that simple elegant theories are valuable.
- vkou 11mo agoHere's a simple and elegant theory - an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of the cure. If you'd like it to be even simpler, "Measure twice, cut once." Trying to squeeze blood out of a rock from people who cut corners and hurt others after-the-fact is a fuckin' nightmare and leads to globally bad outcomes.
