|content=That thing we were told was an Internet panic is now a pandemic.

Is it possible that authoritative sources are now more the problem than the 1st hand videos &amp; direct reports that were circulating?

I mean Jesus Christ: When do we overthrow this overclass of '''low agency “experts”'''?

|content=It's time for a massive reversal of who is allowed to contribute to our institutional sense-making. 

End.

|content=The outbreak of a pandemic and/or a bioweapon was *entirely* forseeable. As was the 2008 crisis. As was 9/11.

As I have said almost constantly for years: we have SYSTEMATICALLY selected for the wrong experts &amp; leaders for between 30 to 50 years.

We need to replace our experts.

|content=Trump, Bernie &amp; Biden are *all* unworkable. Our Chinese staffed research labs are all unworkable. Our payment obligations under social security are unworkable. As is Just-In-Time supply lines across borders. Our Debt is likely not payable. Macroeconomists are not talented enough.

|content=We're panicking because we're being lied to and misinformed. Panic is stupid: our efforts should be to get rid of our impotent institutional expert/leadership class. We have '''low agency''' get-a-long social creatures where we need disagreeable tough minded creative folks in the room.

|content=We need more divergent thinkers and we need to get rid of everyone who ushered in our state of panic, ill-preparedness and indebtedness.

I'm sorry but it is this stark. We just have the wrong editors, the wrong politician, the wrong CEOs, and the wrong university presidents.

|content=We need competence to match our threats. If not this one, then the next. 

We should institute competency reviews for people over 70 who are sitting in important chairs. There's no way the final people running for president should have ALL been septuagenarian. It's simply insane.

|content=It is time to re-evaluate all (and re-instate some) of the people our current fake experts called Xenophobes, Chicken Littles, The Disgruntled, Whiners, Catastrophists.

The globalizers were never people in love with other cultures. They were profiteers looting their nations.

|content=I'm sorry to bore you with this frequently. But this evil impotent center has put our entire world at risk. 

These are not our candidates.</br>
They aren't our journalists.</br>
They are not our researchers.

They propped up institutions that needed to go through crisis periodically.

|content=Protest political people with dazzling '''agency''', beauty, technical rigor and grace. That class can’t do these things. 

They don’t code. They don’t weld. They don’t compose. They don’t crowdsource. They don’t understand crypto. They don’t believe in standing alone.

Now use that.

|content=When his mom refused to buy him a Lamborghini, a 5 year-old Utah boy hit the road himself in the family's SUV. “He decided to take the car and go to California to buy one himself,” said the Utah Highway Patrol trooper who pulled him over.

|content=“Hey! Administrator! Leave those kids alone.”

The K-12 version of what I‘ve been talking about in universities. Administration-heavy schools destroy our minds of greatest promise and '''agency'''.

It’s the administrators stupid.

With apologies to Pink Floyd, but the times changed...

|content=You aren’t getting it. I actually have TWO sets of business cards: the one’s I run out are the ones *without* PhD printed on them.

That’s not how it should be. But overproduction of '''low agency''' PhD drones for jobs that don’t exist has degraded my credential as a signaling device.

|content=You don’t have a consistent plan. And you don’t communicate scientifically. And you’re not honest about what this is doing to our kids in terms of risks and costs.

I’ll wear a mask and follow the law if you bring us a '''high agency''' science based plan. Or Is that asking too much?

|content=A remarkable high tech system has just been unveiled to screen out '''low agency''' humans.

Once locked SmartGate2000 uses a proprietary algorithm to convince '''low agency''' humans to turn around while '''higher agency''' people willing to take responsibility for themselves easily pass through. https://t.co/23n5rB47pb
