      But they don’t tell you much about human success where countries don’t go to war and genocides don’t happen. So you can’t compare effectively.

        You seem to be defining “success” as nothing happening which… is the opposite of how I’d define it.

        “Success” is when you achieve gaining more power over an entity - whether that entity is a country, a business, or one’s own life.
