Disaster
Gammas always predict a disastrous outcome
The average Gamma has predicted 32,487 of the last zero apocalypses. His inevitable failures stem from his absolute refusal to take risks, because the Gamma is always smart enough to see many, if not most, of the potential ways that everything could possibly go wrong.
The possibility that something might go well is far beyond the average Gamma’s ability to imagine.
Hypergamouse, hardcovers, paperbacks, and variant covers have all arrived in the New York warehouse and have been shipping out to the backers. Backers of the campaign should email Castalia Shipping with their current addresses: the email address is castaliashipping AT gmail.
I got my copy of Hypergamouse yesterday.
Woot!
Well done Lacey, Vox, and the team.
"the Gamma is always smart enough to see many, if not most, of the potential ways that everything could possibly go wrong"
There is *always* a reason to not do something, or why something may fail or go badly. Always. One of the things that separates the high-status from the low-status man (this isn't just a Gamma thing) is the willingness to accept the risk of failure.
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
There's a reason Kipling wrote those lines in his poem "If".
