Si pudiese matar a toda mi familia para poder volver a ver esta serie por primera vez no lo haría, pero la serie la verdad que es increíble. True Detective es la polla
Do all'ya'll selves a favor and read The Space Trilogy by C.S. Lewis rather than being annihilated by NewsWorld, the new black magic situational comedy torture device constructed by The A.I.
Boater who fell off the Santa Barbara coast reportedly swam for five hours toward an offshore oil rig, saying he felt guided by what he described as an “angel,” with a harbor seal appearing to nudge him along.
In January 2022, California sea urchin diver Scott Thompson fell overboard in the Santa Barbara Channel during a night dive and was left stranded as his boat drifted away. Wearing only a T-shirt and shorts, he was forced into a grueling five-hour swim through freezing 52°F waters toward the faint lights of a distant oil platform.
During the ordeal, a harbor seal appeared and stayed alongside him, at times nudging and circling as if to keep him going. Thompson later said the animal’s presence gave him the strength to continue when exhaustion set in. Guided by the platform lights, he eventually reached the structure and was rescued by workers, suffering from severe hypothermia and dehydration. He later described the seal as a “guardian angel.”
Assume the movie had flopped and the director lost his entire $750,000 investment. How many crew members would have voluntarily returned their fees to help offset his loss?
This is the fundamental asymmetry in risk and reward. When someone puts up their own capital and shoulders the real financial risk especially in a high-failure industry like entertainment they alone bear the downside.
Yet the moment the project succeeds, suddenly everyone who was paid upfront wants a bigger piece of the pie. The same people who would not have shared in the loss now feel entitled to share disproportionately in the upside.
If you accept payment for your work regardless of outcome, you’ve already been compensated for your risk (or lack thereof). Why should the person who risked everything not be allowed to reap the rewards when their gamble pays off?
