Life is like being a reinforcement agent in a large world. We just need to raise our epsilon on our epsilon-greedy decision processes if we hope to learn from risk.
This is more irritating than inspiring to me. Take the life of any prodigy and you can cherry-pick context-free moments where they appear shitty. Jordan, for instance, was passed over his first high school tryout because he was too short [1]. He heroically grew taller over the summer and owned continuously for the rest of his life, except at baseball.
