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?
