90% of eveything is.....

Posted by Anantha | Posted in , , | Posted on Monday, June 15, 2009

Happened to read this quote by this wise man named Theodore Sturgeon, a science fiction writer.
"Ninety percent of everything is crap"
That's stunningly true isn't it...?
Doing a bit of Googling, found out some interesting facts about this so called Sturgeon's law. Though he quoted this aiming at the Science fiction published all over the world, but later argues that 90% of film, literature, consumer goods, etc. are crap. 
PS: Though, I personally feel ninety percent is an exaggeration, or may be the things I consider which are not crap now might actually turn out to be crap at later point of time. So there are chances that I might totally agree to this quote some time in future..

Deva,

I knew u wud totally agree with his second law...

It makes me think whether the people who believe in his second law are nihilists or pessimists or just the victims of disillusionment...
