there is a particular type of person, who, when presented with a marvelous new thing (idea, product, person), focuses on its flaws rather than its unique merits.

we need them to ensure an equitable and sustainable world, but they do not drive progress. i bet they are also as a group far less successful and happy throughout their miserable lives. most will just impotently fart their misery unto others, and only a rare few will actually do something about it
