The parable of the man on a sinking ship who says, “It won’t sink that fast.
- Recovery doesn’t work when expectations are off.
- Wishful thinking.
- After the crisis becomes apparent resources are tight.
- Escape boat chair game.
- Once it becomes obvious to all that it is needed, it becomes difficult to get competitive resources.
Those who prepare for the ship to sink, thinking, “It won’t sink that fast.” - well prepared means no worries (in time of need)
- I’m not getting off the boat right now. - Barbell Strategy
relevance - Pascal’s Wager - cultural homogenization
