If At First You Don't Succeed, That's

I Never Trust Anyone Who's More Excited About Success Than About Doing The Thing They Want To Be Successful At.

But I’ve Never Seen The Icarus Story As A Lesson About The Limitations Of Humans. I See It As A Lesson About The Limitations Of Wax As An Adhesive.

What People Don't Appreciate, When They Picture Terminator-style Automatons Striding Triumphantly Across A Mountain Of Human Skulls, Is How Hard It Is To Keep Your Footing On Something As Unstable As A Mountain Of Human Skulls. Most Humans Probably Couldn't Manage It, And They've Had A Lifetime Of Practice At Walking Without Falling Over.

A Million People Can Call The Mountains A Fiction, Yet It Need Not Trouble You As You Stand Atop Them.

Sometimes I Mistake This For A Universe That Cares.
