Of Two Minds

Every nation is operating on models that are collapsing without those at the controls being aware that the implicit assumptions of their models no longer map reality.

This is why “knowledge is power”: those who define what is “knowable” and “known” shape the reality of everyone in the model / system.

I reckon it prudent to see the next decade as a journey through a wilderness few of us have experienced.

Tunnel-vision greed and blindness to what is unseen and therefore “unknowable” is self-reinforcing.

No wonder the world seems deranged–it is deranged by the immense strength of an Old Guard clinging onto power by any means available even as the world around them spins into incoherence.

Greed is good up to the point that it delivers ruin.
