Ive told people this many times, we need to create more room for failure. From school, to jobs, to building businesses, to loans, to health.

If we can try something because if we fail we can try something else, we would find a hell of a lot more to care about in this world.

And the most important thing we would care more about is ourselves

I cannot agree enough with this statement and especially love your closing. We definitely don't tend to be able to take enough time to really care for ourselves and try and fail at new things.

Mandatory Dwarf Fortress in every school.

Okay thats it im tired of people commenting about this Dwarf fortress. How much of my soul does it cost? Whats that in hours needed?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

First, read Boatmurdered. Then realise it's worth whatever the cost is

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Yes. Be ready for the most fun you'll ever experience in a game.

If you're the type of gamer that gets sucked into Rimworld, then Dwarf Fortress will very likely consume you.

Science and academia, too. There's way too few papers being published about failed experimemts. "I thought A, so I did B in order to achieve C, but it didn't work out because of D." is a very useful result.

Oh is it better to separate school from science and academia. Thank you, noted
