Life's Doers and Life's Procrastinaters

So would he have been better off being someone who walks around with a back-pack full of back issues of New Scientist and a laptop PC running a risk analysis spreadsheet which gets refers to every time that person needed to cross the road and thus avoid such things? Oh, and the ever present agonising wait to see if a decade old theorem devised by his favourite AI professor at MIT could once and for all decide for him whether he liked that piece of music that he heard 5 years ago or not.

Guess we all like to pass the time of day in different ways. So long as we're all enjoying ourselves, I have no issues with that.
