Man has been called a rational being, but rationality is a matter of choice – and the alternative his nature offers him is: rational being or suicidal animal. Man has to be man – by choice; he has to hold his life as a value – by choice; he has to learn to sustain it – by choice; he has to discover the values it requires and practice his virtues – by choice.

“Maintain structural integrity” “expand exponentially” “timely fashion” “near future” and surfside condo collapse

If you hear the phrase “expand exponentially” that means it is not linear. It means it will be expanding very rapidly (depending on the exponent of course, but in this usage the exponent would cause it means quickly).

“Maintain structural integrity” means that if you don’t fix something, the something will fall apart.

The phrases “timely fashion” and “near future” don’t mean years, they means weeks or months.

So everyone looking to blame someone else about the Surfside condo collapsing needs to understand what was written in the report 2.5 years earlier.
