    To follow this allegory further:

    Sometimes the foundation is fucked up beyond repair. You’ve brought in specialists, gotten quotes, made repairs, tried old and tested, new and modern, but the experts have told you the foundation is simply fucked and the building is not safe and it never will be with this foundation.

    At some point you become aware the damaged foundation is irreparable. The building isn’t safe and it never was, it’s amazing it’s somehow still standing even now.

    So do you go build a new building and hope your experience in broken foundations can help you build a strong resilient one? Or do you do what you can to avoid ever being responsible for another foundation out of fear and understanding that you can’t maintain strong foundations and don’t want to put other buildings at risk?
