How will we keep the advancements but not the downsides. Will all the smart people come up with a decent solution for all?

The Prep And The Event

Posted on July 9, 2023

You prep to pitch so you can win the right to host the Olympics. Then if you win the right to host, you prep for 8 years so you can do a great job.
