Interesting that these were all emergent big ideas that represent complex systems going through autopoietic evolutions. Specific humans contributed pieces, and language to talk about them, but overall, the history of ideas kinda took on a life of its own after ww2

Weirding is not an idea so much as the stack of accumulating ideas going through a spookiness refactor. Like “hey, let’s rewrite everything we know in the form of COBOL code as quantum computing code”

Trump 1. America trashes its brand, at home and abroad. We have shown ourselves as fragile, corrupt, distracted, disloyal, incompetent, untrustworthy. America is no longer leading in democracy, governing, education, science, technology, industry, economics.
