The insanity is a projection of your own condition.
You’re saying (retroactively) that it was the wrong move, just because it failed? By that logic, we shouldn’t even try to stop fascism, because if we fail then it was the wrong move.
That’s a shit take if I’ve ever seen one.
Yes, plans that don’t work out can retroactively be called the wrong decision because they failed. Of fucking course they can. The alternative is attempting the same thing over and over but expecting a different result, which is a popular description of insanity. You’re ridiculing the fundamental process of learning and growth and seeming proud of it because you think its helping you win an argument. That might honestly be the dumbest thing I’ve seen someone do.
I have no interest in discussing things with someone who would rather double down with insane ideas then admit they were wrong.
You’re the one who’s wrong. Learning and growth doesn’t mean abandoning every course of action the moment something goes wrong. It means identifying what went wrong and learning from that, not simply accepting whatever bs take some keyboard warrior on lemmy says you should take away from it.
If I were Jack Smith, my two main “lessons learned” would be this: be appointed to Special Counsel a year sooner, and work within a system where the Supreme Court doesn’t actively delay court proceedings against the main who appointed 6 of of 9 of the sitting Justices.
Neither of which are things that Jack Smith had any control over. You might as well try telling poor people to just be born rich next time, for all the good your advice is worth.
Am I “ridiculing the fundamental process of learning and growth” by pointing out that that’s a factor beyond their control, and they did nothing wrong by being born as they are?
