Yeah really. They should be more like campuses funding a hundred small teams each trying to make something they're individually passionate about. Hell, even give them the IPs to play with and see what they come up with.
Fear of failure becomes self fulfilling, yeah. You get so worried about making the wrong move and losing money that you can have your spotlight stolen by a challenger doing it fresher for 1/10th the budget.
You've got lots of stuff that would be hard to get at home like basketball, squash courts; swimming pools; saunas, cold plunge; lots of free classes (well, included in the cost). If you have a YMCA, they will even do a sliding scale based on your income.
It's like going to the library. Yeah you could do much of that stuff at home, but it's good to get out.
Apologies to everyone I pressed into quitting Messenger to switch to WA in the 10s. Hopefully I'm not repeating the same error in the 20s, but with WA->Signal. 😞
Jail immediately
