Reflections LIX - Sobering Thoughts

 A driver for civilization instability is the lag time when one aspect of the flow of information increases at a rate that far exceeds the ability of further steps along the processing line to understand and make sense of it.

Without brute force ideological policy making cannot withstand the empirical push back of the economic reality.

We will reach a breaking point when the false metrics of success run head first into the unyielding wall of  the physical universe.

Nature has an inherent bias in rendering the vast majority of predictions to the effuse of history.

The older I become the more apparent it is to me that many a belief system is based on lies, misconceptions and a dangerous disregard of skepticism.

How much time has been wasted by physicists on a theory of everything? So many hours lost as slaves to hubris. 

Listening to the rhetoric of politicians it is overwhelmingly obvious that the most common trait they share is narcissism.
