  • I agree with it being a symptom rather than the cause. Which is why, just like the case with Luigi, I don’t condone it but I don’t condemn it, either. He’s just a symptom to the actual problem going near critical status.

    On the other hand, it is also a symptom of the system trying to correct itself, albeit forcefully. But that means I’m also worried when the symptom doesn’t manifest itself when I expect it to because it could be a sign of a lack of corrective feedback.






  • You’re using the same logic my dad uses to rail against going to Mars. He says there is no worthwhile reason to go there when more pressing matters on earth are in abundance.

    Just like you, he is missing the forest for the trees, angrily ignorant to the fact that the knowledge you gained from trying to achieve a seemingly worthless achievement is the actual value, not in the achievement itself.

    The achievement is just a convenient goal to make the science more exciting to the general public so as to garner more financial support from both private and government sources. Each of the steps needed to gain that achievement may not have gained as much funding as they do now if they were presented separately from that final goal.
