Iโ€™m sure that whatever is causing the leak, after being shaken violently and pulling a few gโ€™s during ascent, will getโ€ฆ better?

Remember Feynman's criticism of NASA's producing of the space shuttle disaster?

~ engineering culture is founded on .. you have to prove it is safe.

business culture is founded on .. you have to prove it's dangerous.

NASA, in adopting business culture, guaranteed that something of this kind would inevitably happen.

it did. ~


You can play the same recording, and all the organizations which are so "institutional mentality", ie their heads sooo far up their institutional asses, that they "need to do a reality-check"...

and nothing is going to change, until we're gone.

We WON'T learn, right?

Universe, therefore, has the obligation to continue escalating the damage, until our collective-unconscious "changes its mind" about won't-learn.

Or we become extinguished, whichever..

given how ClimatePunctuation's escalating all the political-ideology-rabies & all the religious-ideology-rabies, AND throwing-in food-insecurity, survival-in-insane-temperature-waves, chaotic megadroughts, floodings, extra hurricanes, etc..

I'm not expecting the "ok, we'll learn now!" option to happen in time.

You have to want to earn unconscious-mind learning, to have earning of it, right??
