A man who knows he’s going to win doesn't worry about when. He just keeps showing up because he knows his time will come.

Hans-Werner Sinn zur Energiewende: „Alles Humbug. Nichts hat gestimmt“
Der frühere ifo-Präsident Hans-Werner Sinn hält Deutschlands Ziel der Klimaneutralität bis 2045 für unrealistisch und warnt vor einer weiteren Deindustrialisierung.
Nach Sinns eigener Überschlagsrechnung müsste sich der Beitrag von Wind- und Solarenergie nahezu verzehnfachen. Er bezweifelt, dass dies technisch und wirtschaftlich zu bewältigen ist.
Europäische Alleingänge beim Klimaschutz hält Sinn für wirkungslos. Stattdessen fordert er internationale Vereinbarungen und die Abschaffung der EU-CO₂-Flottengrenzwerte.

500 pages of Thinking Fast and Slow basically boils down to:
"The general who wins a battle makes many calculations in his temple before the battle is fought. The general who loses a battle makes but few calculations."

Game theory shows that the long game isn't a strategy most people can execute. That's because it tends to require a negative short-term position in exchange for a real advantage later. Most people cannot commit to this because their threat-detection system reads current loss as an existential failure. And that's vicious short-sightedness. It leads them to optimize for visible progress and sacrifice their real position. The people who constantly win rarely have better information. Instead, they accept that losing now will pay off later. Never quit a game before it starts.

Still thinking about how Michelangelo said excellent people like to solitude-max because they don't want to "corrupt themselves with the vain conversation of idle persons and degrade their thoughts"
