The Master-Healer looks upon their apprentice with sadness. "There is one lesson I must teach you yet."

~What is it Master?~

"The fact... sooner or later, we will fail"

"This, above all, I will do no harm," recited the trainee Medik, Min. "I will treat my patients with respect and heed their complaints. I will ask permission where I do not need to act with urgency. I will do my utmost to see them in comfort and ease, whilst seeing to their needs." They were gleaming and proud in their new uniform. Neat and fresh as a daisy.

"Very nice," said Medik Nuz, "Very important, of course. Now you must learn the hard part. You'll learn a lot of it during your nursing years, but there are harder lessons to learn. I'll tell you them, now. And I can only hope you remember them."

"Aside from RTFC[1], doctor?"

Challenge #04423-L039: Swords and Ploughshares

The aliens didn't listen. They were SO sure that they could overrun the human colony and wipe them out. They were warned by others that you did NOT want to piss off the humans. Their civilization survived the aftermath, but they most certainly learned their lesson the hard way. -- Anon Guest

It was a beautiful world. Predictable weather, mild seasons, lots of arable land and the gentlest water cycle one could get. It was almost perfect. Just one tiny flaw.

Challenge #02663-G106: All Signs Point to...

"OK. This place is disgusting. I don't think there is enough bleach on the planet to make it safe..."

"I found this stuff! It was in the cleaning section, and while I can't read anything on it it has a 5 page booklet of what I think are warnings... At least all the skull and crossbones and hazard signs look like warnings."

One important lesson on economics from someone who's picked up on a few things...

Put basically: If they’re offering it to plebes like you, the bubble is about to burst.

There are numerous economic bubbles in past and present. The stock bubble. The internet bubble. The housing bubble. The quantum chocolate bubble. Okay, I just wish there was a quantum chocolate bubble…

The point is, bubbles are just like pyramid schemes. Sooner or later, they’re going to run out of people to sell it to and the whole shebang is going
