Without aiming to beat expensive and difficult challenges little if anything would have been achieved by the human race.
No agricultural revolution, no industrial revolution, no technological revolution.
it confuses me even more when it is wielded by allegedly ‘experienced’ individuals. The self same individuals who have spent a lifetime utilising the success stories from others struggles to overcome difficult and expensive problems.
Naturally there are legion failures to accompany every success but without trying we will never succeed at anything.
You might want to look up the concept of economic utility.
All successful revolutions increase economic utility , not decrease it.
The obsession with reducing emissions at all costs is going to lead to really dumb and expensive mistakes.
