What Doesn’t Kill You
Let's just get this out of the way - justifying your logistical screw-ups, anti-social behaviour, or consequences on somebody else because of something you hold the responsibility for (and failed to meet its requirements) with a blithely overused "shit happens" quote is a shitty dick move. If your plan for progress is to endlessly wear everyone down like stones against a grinder and hope that you find enough diamonds from the mountain of basket cases you're going to end up producing, don't be too surprised when the other basket cases supersede you by sheer force of number.
(There's also the fact that the AIDS virus doesn't kill you, but weakens you to the point where even weak pathogens can pose life-threatening danger, thereby creating a counterexample to "what doesn't kill you" which is bandied about like universal truth. But honestly, the vengeance prospect is a lot more satisfying.)
