I think this is one of those cases where there's really very little way of knowing what really worked and what didn't. It's like a sports team: you can make ALL the right managerial choices, but still fail due to chance and factors outside your control.

At best there are some reasonably good heuristics.


On the flip side you can hire Michael Jordan and screw everything else up and still win. Then go on to write a business book that’s completely misleading because you never realize that you did only one thing right, and that was enough.

Unless your company is a baseball team

What the hell kind of messing around is that? Did he think he was at the unit he rented that came with door-kicking privileges?


I used to hop on walls and doors when I was 13 running around. But this guy was in his 20s or 30s and did not expect to see me draw on him.

They leave trash in the hallways or smoke in the corridors. When you’re on vacation people act a little more free spirited.


It's like crypto hype without the crypto.


To be fair to Cain/Qabil, he didn't know ambushing Abel/Habil was going to kill him. Nobody had died before.


Do you have to have seen a human die to know that a human could die? Surely Cain had seen plenty of animals die. I think you might not be giving Cain enough credit (or maybe too much credit) by assuming he couldn’t have put 2 and 2 together

One look at a pachycephalosaurus skull nearly had me convinced dragons were real and dinosaurs were the myth.


Ah yes. The old sickos trying to give acid to your babies.


I remember those in my primary school. The warnings, not the acid.


Axolotl. Very popular and recognizable.


These are amazing!

Craziest thing IMO: It doesn't leave its larval stage, but you can give it the hormones that turn other reptilians into adults - and they work! You'll get a living adult axolotl, a pretty normal looking reptile with just a few minor bugs (IIRC).


This is the kind of bad idea that I want to see.


That was going to be my suggestion as well. They're popular and recognizable.
