The tyranny of time
“I wanna go fast” is one of Will Ferrell’s most iconic lines in the NASCAR-themed comedy film "Talladega Nights." In the movie, the protagonist Ricky Bobby — played by Ferrell — basks in the glory of being a NASCAR folk hero before crashing and burning out of the sport after a string of poor performances. Ironically, the need for speed — the desire to go fast in all aspects of his life — is what slows Bobby down. Only when Bobby overcomes his fear of losing is when he returns to his former glory.
