But we know those who adopt early and gain mastery quickly are set up better for success in the future.
Every time.

Ai gave me cancer lol. You’re conflating being a product of a new system vs being a pioneer in using a new system.

Not understanding sparrows role in the game caused the Four Pests campaign. MILLIONS DEAD.
The ecological repercussions translated into a humanitarian crisis of unprecedented proportions. The absence of sparrows, which traditionally kept locust populations in check, allowed swarms to ravage fields of grain and rice. The resulting agricultural failures, compounded by misguided policies of the Great Leap Forward, triggered a severe famine from 1958 to 1962. The death toll from starvation during this period reached 20 to 30 million people.

You should check out twitter. It’s like the place for insecure people to impotently rage that someone said some words that weren’t good enough.
Best wishes I guess. You seem to need them.

We also didnt understand how the internet would change the world, still went ahead with it. We didnt understand how computers would change the world, still went ahead with it, we didnt understand how the steam engine would change the world… etc etc.
No one can know how a new invention will change things, but you are not going to be able to crush human’s innate creativity and drive to try new things. Sometimes those things are going to be a net negative and that’s bad, but the alternative is to insist nothing new is tried and thats A bad and B not possible.
