The Ineptness Of Our Overlords

The Colorado Steal exposed Cruz as an insider in a way nothing else could. It showed him in action. They would have done better to give Trump a few delegates. Idiots.

I am always surprised at the ineptness of our overlords. Except you see it in history – over and over. They get into “we have the power – we don’t need to pay attention”

“we have been covering up stuff like this for years, we can do it again”

Hayek tried to explain it to them. When a machine has enough semi-independent moving parts predicting its behavior is impossible and trying to control its behavior is worse. The best thing to do is to let it evolve as unmolested as possible. Ride the currents. Take advantage of the eddies. Avoid brute force.

The thing that is clear to our overlords is that I have no secrets in the Internet Age. What is not yet clear to them is that neither do they. Any action on the secrets they hold is a reveal. So their knowledge is of limited value or useless. Counterproductive even.

Of what use is a self destruct button? I’m not a Christian. At all. But the best advice I can give them is, “Go in peace.” If you need to own something try owning yourself. Because that is an infinitely harder job than owning a civilization. And infinitely more worthwhile.
