In my last two newsletters I have written about how we reduce the quality of human intelligence when we compare it to artificial intelligence, and how our working lives, and the business economy in general, have been diminished by being conformed to whatever is measurable.
Well said, that we must engage sincerely. But that is high hurdle.
So many have emotional commitment to their beliefs, regardless of merits.
Even those with considered positions find it hard to first level-set with those who disagree. There's no point debating conclusions when we do not share premises.
Some may say that government is inherently inefficient, and so must be held only to a few agreed jobs which only it can handle; defend the border, keep civil peace, enforce contracts...
Other with equal reason note that we can't enumerate issues like externalities, so government needs a mandate as we proceed.
This was a fascinating read. Although English is not my first language, I now speak it pretty much 98% of the time and write it 100% of the time (with help from Grammarly:-))
I can be accused of using phrases like must-watch, etc.. Unfortunately, we live in the world of "Just do it" and "Some things must never change" and constant use of the F word for impact and emphasis, we take shortcuts to express ourselves. Thanks
