I’ve often thought in life that I’ve learned most of what I know by seeing examples of what not to do. If for no other reason than that there are many more people running around without a clue than truly wise individuals making well-reasoned decisions. At least that’s how it’s seemed IME; I’m sure in reality people are just doing the best they could and making decisions in the moment, but they often seem to be thinking in the extremely short term (and then sometimes, still wrong even for that).
