Butter

Back when I was a kid they used butter to treat minor burns. Then somebody figured out that ice was a better treatment.

That’s how we progress. We get better information and adjust our thinking accordingly.

Unless we refuse to listen to anyone but the butter faction. Then we call the ice faction names and accuse them of worshiping the ice-appliers. . .

Great leaders anticipate how to create them.

Dumbass presidents stay the course, even when it's obvious they're headed for disaster.

But our itty bitty brother bought a better bit of butter, and it brought a better batter.
