That raises the question, what came first: maths or evolution?

Of course we can apply the laws of physics and the theories of maths onto everything we see and experience around us but does that make them so - those experiences.

> What happened to all the men who specialized in casting steels? What happened to those facilities? What happened to those companies? Nobody plans for decades because nobody can afford the risk.

Take a more holistic view, what happened to all the stars and galaxies?[1]

The spiritual acceptance of the inevitable end of everything isn't taught in any business school and we are left to face/cope with that ourselves. If maths/business is your poison for coping, then so be it. I dislike reducing every experience to numbers and graphs, profit margins, win/loss and them/us.

I guess I'm trying to say is that even the biggest profit will have no longevity when compared to, even just human history, let alone the history of the universe.
