Disorg

Russian assaults are all so disorganized. I do wonder, though, in the era of drones and ubiquitous battlefield surveillance, would more organization even matter? Not without good EW I guess.

In the future, the army with the most drones that are the least jammable wins….

Doc Up

True. I read more medical papers than nearly all doctors and it’s not even close. Of course, it’s possible to go really wrong here if you are not rigorous. But that’s also true of credentialed scientists. However, it’s not all that hard to know a whole lot more than an “expert” if you study that topic intensively — because they will not have done that.

Many scientists and doctors want to be worshipped rather than to find the truth. And that is a real problem.

Offices

I am the worst at political predictions, so take this with a grain of salt the size of Saturn, but I predict that Harris will narrowly defeat Trump, the coup attempt will last a few months but fail as some key Republicans turn against him (and he will have zero military support) and Harris will take office, perhaps a little late.

There will be some political violence but as most Trump supporters are obese 52-year-old white men who can’t run more than 10 feet without keeling over dead, it won’t amount to much.

Mania

The problem with Covidians (other than a poor understanding of science and immunology) is that they believe the world should cater to their manias and paranoia. And the only ones that happens to reliably is billionaires like Jamie Dimon. So good luck with that.

Covidians would’ve basically ended all of civilization now in a failed attempt to forestall a fairly-mild virus. So, you know, glad we didn’t do that.

And what’s weird is that nearly all the Covidians out there politically align with Russia and believe Ukraine and Ukrainians should be genocided. I am still trying to understand that.
