"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
- Theodore Roosevelt
Not everyone wants an oceanfront penthouse. Some want a yurt in the desert. Others a cabin in the mountains. Some like it hot. Some like it cold. The assumptions that everyone wants the same thing is limiting and promotes scarcity. The world is abundant already.
Why wouldn’t they. When there is so much abundance then we dont have to fight over a scarcity that doesn’t exist.
True when thinking only about earth. But there are a whole lot of planets in our solar system. Abundance may not happen on elons time schedule (which all of us mere mortals are concerned with). But will happen.
You realize how freaking smart he was when you read something he wrote and realize how he can take such complex ideas and help a moron like me understand it. That’s brilliance.
