It greatly bothers me that people thought the minecraft ending was telling them not to play anymore. It literally says exactly what it means and people apparently ignored it.

Story Mode?

It's just the way it works. It's like a rock-paper-scissors thing. Ignoring all other factors, luck beats flexibility, flexibility beats planning, and olanning beats luck.

@Valiance

Why does luck bet flexibility?

Too much can lead to some getting in others' way. There's a point where efficiency becomes mistakes as the numbers pile on.

<Snipped quote by Host>

Luck.

@Valiance

That's not very reassuring.

Yes, which requires solar system testing, aka space.
That's highly theoretical, unless the theories have changed, most astronomers, ya know, people who study space like we're talking about, would say that's not the case, and antimatter near the planet would be very easily disastrous.
We. Are. Running. Out. Of. Planet. I don't know how you expect to get past that without space investment barring religious answers.

@DarkwolfX37

When we get to that point. We're nowhere close.
Antimatter is decently understood at this point. It's simply particles on opposite paths and the like; you can look it up.
The fact is that we have quite a bit of time before the planet is uninhabitable. Several hundred years at least, with new advances in renewable resources. However, I believe humanity (sans rapture) will easily destroy itself within a hundred years.
If you're referring to overpopulation, it isn't particular a major ordeal at this point; we simply need to expedite food production, which can easily be done. There is a long way to go before Earth is unsustainable.

Until one proves to be more adaptable than the other.

@Valiance

And if they're completely equal?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Okay.

<Snipped quote by Host>

Yep.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Hm.

@Valiance

So both of you can keep finding another way and be stuck in deadlock.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

If you're flexible enough, or adaptable, as you said, then yes.

@Valiance

But doesn't it apply to the enemy too?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

Yeah, in a sense.

@Valiance

But is it always true?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

Pretty well, most of the time. Depends on how flexible you are.

@Valiance

Flexible as in adaptable?
