7/12 (1) That Mnuchin & Trump haven't bothered to read all of the scientific & econ studies for the past 4 decades, or they've ignored them

8/12 (2) That they suffer from the paradox of the present, which I describe in Signals. They outright reject what they don’t already know.

9/12 Suffering from the paradox, you lack curiosity about the future. That’s dangerous. You become 100% optimistic or pessimistic.

10/12 You forego critical thought. Using the past to predict the future doesn’t always work. You must account for new variables!

11/12 At the very least, Trump Admin should say that it hasn't formed a position yet, that it still investigating and contemplating.

The more I read "50-100 more years away," the more irritated I get. Technology doesn't evolve in neat decade increments.
