Erm, I understand you have some strong opinions on this, but I actually meant something slightly different: people go through tough periods but generally bounce back and are actually happy (even during their tough periods).
It isn't evidence that you need to "tear down whatever powers ": how confident are you that whatever you'll build will actually be better?
I'll say one last thing: if your system design goal is having a high uptime guarantee, it's easier to do so by building systems that have a low mean time to recovery (MTTR) as opposed to infinitely high mean time between failure (MTBF). Applying this analogy to other topics is left as exercise to reader.
- michaelochurch 13y agopeople go through tough periods but generally bounce back and are actually happy (even during their tough periods). I believe that, too. I'm not an unhappy person. I'm angry often, but if you recognize anger and put it in its proper place, it need not be overwhelming. There's nothing wrong with having anger. The problem is letting it control you; that's when you're losing. Happiness and anger are not mutually exclusive. In fact, it's hard to be happy if you don't experience negative emotions (anger, fear, disgust) in proper, limited, and appropriate ways. It isn't evidence that you need to "tear down whatever powers ": how confident are you that whatever you'll build will actually be better? Extremely so. The world (at least, the business world; I don't think public-sector "politicians" are that bad, the worst are rarely worse than the constituents who elect them) is run by some of the worst people imaginable.

Most of your comments don't seem particularly anti-business, but this seems fairly out there. What's your basis for this particular claim?
