When Necessity Knocks: Stopping the Wait for Help Remember the famous Bulgarian folk tale about the two brothers, sons of the poor woodcutter? When their wagon gets stuck deep in the mud, they initially stand with their hands in their pockets, crying out for help: " Nevolya (Necessity), come help us!" They wander around looking for her, waiting for someone or something to magically solve their problem. It is only when they realize no one is coming and they finally take matters into their hands that they discover the truth—salvation lies solely in their efforts. Today, this tale sounds more relevant than ever. Except that in the 21st century, our "necessity" isn't hidden somewhere in the woods. It has transformed into waiting for perfect conditions, relying on the state, on parents, on pure luck, or... expecting artificial intelligence to live our lives for us.
