@beans_please I bet you could pitch Amazon, the 1990s version of Amazon, again, and I truly believe that they would throw money at you without giving it any hesitation
Last time my son saw on my phone some "3D images" based on optical illusions and eye focus tricks. He was like: "I am SURE we can create glasses so that your phone can be used to see a video game in 3D!". Kid just reinvented VR headset. Now give him millions in money from South Africa emerald mines during apartheid, I bet he will create his own and sell it as a new complete revolution (no he won't, my son is actually pretty smart and nice)
In a talk by Marc Sageman many many years ago about psychology of 9/11 attackers he mentioned disproportionate number of engineers among them. Said mindset of ENG was to ignore centuries of scholarship on Koran in favor of rereading from first principles. Compared them to early 20th C anarchists (think WWI) also including many engineers. Talk at Navy War College I think. I may be slightly mischaracterizing but that's my hazy recollection.
Learning something about human behaviour and believing they're the first person in the entire history of humanity to learn that, despite there being a whole scientific discipline devoted to its study.
Human after all

Wonder what it would make of the script for "Life of Brian."

Jokes aside, my city literally does not have trains. I actually mean it.

Because they're so fucking dumb from overconfidence.
