Nature’s way is to make it harder the second time if you fail the first time.
For example if you are climbing and we fall and injure ourselves, carrying your injured self upwards is tougher.
Civilisation affords you the luxury of a slower-paced programme if you can’t cope with the normal one.
Civilization’s way is better, but do not expect to go that way as a matter of right.
nature does not make it harder the second time.. it just remains the same.. the trier either becomes weaker or stronger..
Failures can also mean that the trier is richer by experience… So he can become stronger too in some situations…
Civilization is a system where the weakness of the trier after the attempt is recognized sometimes and the system tries to accomodate the weakness…
i put “general weekendish response just for the sake of it” as a title for the prev. comment…
but the “system” swallowed it…
btw, i enclosed it within ‘less than’ and ‘greater than’ symbols! 🙁
ON a tnagent -> and more on the philosophical lines -> Experience is either the worst, or the best teacher.
It gives you the test before the lesson.
Ain’t it cool?

Hi Ravi,
This is a comment on your April 27 YLASI post, which I read just now. And I did want to let you know my response! Here it is::
WOW!! Thankyou, thankyou, ravi!
This is the best, most razor sharp, comprehensive, and on top, the most well-argued piece defending libertarianism that I have come across. It says everything I would have wanted to were I in your place, but I’m too inarticulate to do so in the manner in which you have. So, thankyou and bravo.
I understand perfectly what you mean when you say that you have actually thought through everyday issues and situations to arrive at your position. I have only recently started doing so, after having attended a seminar conducted by the Centre for Civil Society in Delhi, and have, at every turn, only affirmation for libertarian principles. I still have many doubts, queries, problems (don’t have an economic background, though have started reading up), but I remain convinced in my heart that libertarianism is the better among the best of solutions.
Forgive me, but this is a comment I had to make on the April 27 YLASI post by you, Ravi, which I only just read.
