    people talk too much about the lessons they learn from failure. those are often dangerous. much better to learn from success.

        @sama How do you know which parts of the story are essential vs. accidental? i.e. the “looks like Zuck” problem.

        @sama I would not use the word dangerous. I would say incomplete. Nothing wrong with learning from failure. Success makes you euphoric.

        @sama hard to learn much from either tbh right, since it's usually quite situational / you don't know what alternate reality would have been

        @sama true..I still think it's good to have a balance .. success stories alone don't paint the full picture

        @sama agreed. Important to learn from mistakes, but often failure is overly glorified. Winning is still the best.

        @sama When learning from failure the least painful approach is vicarious. Watch someone else pee on the electric fence says Charlie Munger.

        .@sama fetishizing failure comes from a place that is ignorant to the problems of those without safety nets, privilege, support.

        @ColinZarzour @sama failure is also necessary. thats why we NEED those safety nets, that support. w/o it true innovation cant happen
