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 & leaders for between 30 to 50 years.

We need to replace our experts.
Trump, Bernie & 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.
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.
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.
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.
We need a different elite. These are not the elite. They are the ones who kept their mouths shut while this state of total incompetence was being built. There are essentially no University presidents who are young/vital.

Think about it. Our research enterprise is staffed by PRC.
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.
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.
They aren't our journalists.
They are not our researchers.

They propped up institutions that needed to go through crisis periodically.
It's time for a massive reversal of who is allowed to contribute to our institutional sense-making.

End.
