What guarantees a better outcome?

To see disruption as opportunity!

Nature is fair and it's energy is distributed equally among us.

I don't think Nature is fair. It is capricious, doesn't care if many creatures will suffer and which humans among us have the most money and things. Nature does correct inequities, over very long times, much longer than it takes a tree to produce an abundance of fruit. I like that metaphor, but would add that even if year 20 produces an abundance, year 21 might produce nothing at all.

Sort:  

You could have an example of one tree that produced nothing, yet most trees will, specially those that were pruned with care and the soil around them was fed.

I don't think there's any capriciousness on its behalf, rather many humans that don't understand it's patterns and have no patience to observe and learn. Humans usually chase the shiny lights and forget about the roots. Those who look at what grows in the depths (both literally and metaphorically) always find a way even if the circumstances are challenging. Those who just want to believe in what is easily seen are prone to be manipulated and managed like herd because most of it has been managed for millenia now. It's like the internet, if you consume what it gives you off the bat you'll just be put to sleep in the dream of eternal desire. If you search deeper you will gain knowledge and insights that can change your life for the better.

In my opinion, disruption is opportunity but mainly for the overlords as they have already lived that shit a million times and have protocol on how to take advantage of it.

Silently learning to detach from the system and returning to a more direct understanding of how our surroundings work so that we can cooperate for mutual benefits seems like a more lasting and powerful (r)evolution.

You know, I think you've hit a nail on the head here. Seems like those would be the people who would be more likely to feel like failures, because they would be less likely to see opportunities when things went "bad."

Yeah, though it's not easy either, I think we all go through that process from time to time
