"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over
public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled."
Always assume the burden of proof is yours because you’re the one who wants to know.
Think of the ship; it belongs in the water, but water must not come into the ship - that would be disastrous. Similarly, it is right and fitting that we live in this world, and if we stay above the surface, then we can reach the safe harbor of life - and help others to do so. But it would be our demise if the world entered into our hearts.
There's a problem in asking people to focus on problems.... probably the biggest problem we have in the world is that we all die, but we don't have the technology to solve that, right? So the point is not to prioritize problems, the point is to prioritize solutions to problems.
