1. The Law of the Invisibility of Good News:

Progress happens gradually and imperceptibly, while regress happens all at once and immediately grabs our attention.

  • Breaking news often involves things breaking down (an earthquake, suicide bomber attack, stock market crash, tsunami, political coup, or oil spill), as the second law of thermodynamics dictates that:
  • the universe tends towards disorder. It is much easier to destroy than to build.
  • Human progress is dependent on incremental improvements afforded by infrastructure that quietly hums away in the background, invisible until something goes wrong.
