For an in-depth plunge down the warren of dire repercussions, here’s a recent Palladium piece much deservedly making rounds in social circulation --> Complex Systems Won’t Survive the Competence Crisis, palladiummag.com/2023/06/01/complex-systems-wont-survive-the-competence-crisis 👌 The elephantine summarising takeaway ↓↓
🗨 Americans living today are the inheritors of systems that created the highest standard of living in human history. Rather than protecting the competency that made those systems possible, the modern preference for diversity has attenuated meritocratic evaluation at all levels of American society.[...] the biggest challenge of the coming decades might simply be maintaining the systems we have today. The path of least resistance will be the devolution of complex systems and the reduction in the quality of life that entails.
Atlas Is beginning to shrug.
You can sense this happening already. Things coming loose at the edges.
🗨 the real message of quantum mechanics = the world is loose at the joints

Interesting! Makes me think of my conversations with my ultra left brother.
Which always ended with him admitting that SCIENCE don’t know Jack!😂🤣😂
I heard that yesterday about not wanting 50-year old white guys. Well, go woke, go ...... dead!
The inescapable tragedy is so-called collateral damage: many a decent folk is caught in the steely clutches of vile whirlwind 😢
He lacked common sense. If he had looked mildly deep and done his “research” he would never have gotten on that submersible. Doing research now is considered right wing so instead they do unintelligent things.
Brilliant!!
