We do not deserve to trust those who look at others’ challenges and lightly say, “This will fail. Because a significant portion of success/failure is determined by luck, and the rest is a complex mix of factors that cannot be read without very careful analysis. It is a liar to say as if you can read what you cannot read. https://twitter.com/fromdusktildawn/status/1391224380630265860?s=21
In addition to that, once a person predicts that “this will fail,” they don’t want to admit that they lied, so they pick at the details and make a fuss about “see, it failed,” and try to get in the way and make it fail. They are harmful to society.
- Self-fulfillment of prophecy
- prophecy of failure
- Those who prediction failure are harmfulness.
