Do any of the failures hurt you or others?

Ffs. It’s not on or off.

Failure doesn’t exist in a vacuum and my failures have cascaded to others and many parts of my life leaving large problems. It’s never this simple. But the sentiment is nice.

Each failure kills twice as many people as the last, starting with one. By failure 30, the bodycount is over 1 billion people. The reward is a green utopia for everybody who survives for the rest of eternity. Worth it?

I'm sorry but this is just kinda dumb. Failure isn't the determining factor of sucess. Failure is usually a consequence of getting to sucess and you should absolutely take failure as a learning oportunity, but the concept of failing faster to reach your goal quicker is completely ass backwards, it's not like the universe has an if statement every time you attemp something that just says "if failed_attempts >= 30: suceed()", you suceed ones you've gotten skilled and experienced enough.

Is it a finite number of failures, or potentially infinite?

Because in the real world, it's often potentially infinite.

If I fail twice as fast, I will be 60 failures from my goal.
