Pragmatists can only realise things by finally seeing the consequences. Objectivists can run the whole experiment in their head and know in a day what pragmatists may or may not learn in a lifetime.
Yes! I was just thinking: 20 years is too long to devote your life to something and not realize you have to drastically change course or admit you are altogether wrong.
For example, I had always figured that grid scale battery backups would be impractical to impossible to setup.
I recently hear about BESS, where these people have the solar charging a bank of lithium batteries, and the batteries then ramp up the voltage for distribution.
But when these things are setup on massive contracts, suddenly people forget that their owner grid has what amounts to a bomb strapped to a critical portion of their grid.
There’s a video by Richard Feynman where he says that people aren’t good at science because they have no imagination. It’s in his Fun to Imagine 1 hour video, which is certainly one of the, ahem, feynest videos in existence.

I imagine the $60 million in devil money he received "from the government" on the backs of producers blinded him.
Yes, the money is definitely blinding.

Way too many people need to piss on the electric fence for themselves.
Truth.
It's crazy to hear something that is just so natural that you take for granted that others do the same.
I'm one who can run simulations of thought experiments in my head, probably not to the same level of accuracy as a computer, but accurate enough.

That was an interesting clip, thanks.
I’m not sure if you watched the whole hour, but it’s definitely worth it. Every little 5 minute segment is so memorable.
That was a feyn pun there.
