      No. @ScottAdamsSays makes the same mistake as Pinker. The 'world' is more at risk than ever before...even if only due to systemic/cascading effects #pseudostabilityhttps://twitter.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/1078328558269825024 …

      Fact check me on this, but I think the world is more stable than it has ever been, including politically, economically, and geo-strategically. Only the business model of the press has degraded. https://twitter.com/JohnBrennan/status/1075884498955456512 …

      @ScottAdamsSays you cannot BOTH believe the world is more connected a la T.Friedman (The World is Flat) but that systemic dynamics haven't increased. Interconnectedness (without circuit breakers) potentially increases the scale/influence of things, good or bad.

      Is it harder or easier for fentanyl made in China to hit US streets 48hrs later? The point is that *if* a war should happen its potential reach far greater than any war in human history. A function of system dynamics.

      Today, starting a war means killing your own customers. We might never again have a large scale war among peers because economic “wars” work better. Connectedness is good.

      If a half a tank of gas can't get you as far as you need, a full tank can't either?

          Informal Analogies? Let's keep focus. Connectivity increases both potential benefits and harms. There's a left tail to the distribution.

          You're view is similar to 1/ the 'Great Moderation'; the belief that markets were stable/less volatile - that came crashing down in 2008. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Moderation … 2/ the point is that *should* a war happen, the dynamics of interconnectedness make it potentially more devastating

          I think you’re both making two congruent arguments. It is possible that things are more stable via increased connection , but should things advance to a state of war, that very stability could cause a cascading effect, “stabalizing” the chaos as the new normal.

          you seem to believe we've gone past a tipping point - how do you know we're connected enough to avoid greater risks? Not sure anybody knows that.
