It’s kinda funny how global political and corporate leadership has clearly decided to learn nothing from Covid. Nice that we got new vaccine technology out of it, but otherwise it’s “carry on, nothing to see here.” Just a bunch of shock debt.

I don’t entirely blame them. The lessons as currently being discussed are way too abstract to be actionable “Hedge against China” “Run more fat, less lean.” “Diversify business models” What actually changed: Orgs: buy zoom and sanitizer Individuals: more toilet paper

The biggest deep, lasting change needed is to run more fat. Give up some capital mobility efficiency for resilience. I need to dust off my old material on fat thinking and expand it to TED-talk level grand theory. I’ve been mailing it around more than usual but it’s too modest.

Serenity prayer applies. You seem focused on what people think regardless of their options for action. I really only care about opinions in the context of high agency. Much simpler problem.

That’s partly my point. Populism as a force is kinda spent. It shot its once-in-a-generation shot, a generation of politicians learned how to wield it. People realized its dangers and now power is back in fewer hands. A few old actors have exited, a few new actors have entered.

That’s what it means to ride populism. You think you own the force until it bites you in the ass and shows you it owns you.
