Connectedness is good. Until it’s bad. Prior to WW2, many explained why it could never happen thanks to economic interdependence. ANYTHING with contagion dynamic is made MUCH worse under massive connectedness. No amount of persuasion can change that.https://twitter.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/1078778675741356032 …

Scott, if you make money killing others, you want to kill more people. Now, who benefits by war? There is a large list of companies benefiting by carnage.

But counting connections allows us to perceive some of its structural traits. Novel territory perhaps, but the landscape gives clues.

I think the point is that prior to WWII there had never been that much interconnectedness but it wasn’t sufficient to prevent the war. I agree that greater connection reduces risk, but also makes the effects worse if economic deterrence fails. Beware of becoming too sanguine.

This thread conflates physical connectivity with communicative connectivity. Physical connectivity is growing but decelerating. Com. connectivity is accelerating faster than ever before. A new point in history.

This is based on
@nntaleb's work and you've said in your periscopes to trust him over you if you disagree. It's about impact not prediction. Also in terms of "Scott's Theory of Slow Moving Disasters" you need people who think in these terms in order to make systems more robust. -
The irony is, if
@ScottAdamsSays ends up being right it will be because of "mental masturbators" who think like@nntaleb,@normonics and@GuruAnaerobic who urge people to make the system more robust to shocks.#paradoxicalpic.twitter.com/awkq7AajDV
