The biggest issue with stagnation is that "the people" love to live in their status quo.
Once you archived some financial freedom the taste for risk taking leaves. That is human nature, I've seen it in many. Due to just developing financial freedom we develop all kinds of ills. loose friends, create enemies. It is obvious that we lack the ability to advance as an entity, body and soul.

What is your take on this?

"Conditions of degeneration in the organic world are approximately known. These conditions are often of two distinct kinds, deprivation of food, light, etc. so leading to imperfect nutrition and enervation; the other, a life of repose, with abundant supply of food and decreased exposure to the dangers of the environment. It is noteworthy that while the former only depresses, or at most distinguishes the specific type, the latter, through the disuse of the nervous and other structures etc. which such a simplification of life involves, brings about that far more insidious and through degeneration seen in the life history of myriads of parasites."
