“The map is not the world”

Models are useful things. They are also dangerous things.
Models cannot replace reality, but they can help us describe it.
The problem at the core of modern society is we have replaced models in our heads, with the world we actually live in.
This is why when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, the war was already over.
The people who started the war, thought this was a game. And they thought they could talk their way to victory.
And boy howdy were they wrong.
Now that everything has hit the skids, they are trying to remake themselves into saviors rather than the oppressors they truly are.
Let them try to rebrand what they’ve done, who they’ve broken.
It’s not going to work. We want our world back, and no story they tell us about our past will change that.

Hi Tom,
If you have the time, or someone in your group does, this is worth the read:
The Internationalists: The Fight to Restore American Foreign Policy After Trump ~ by Alexander Ward
“Thanks to rigorous reporting (lol) and sources in the rooms where it happened, Ward delivers the first draft of history, the first definitive, unvarnished account of the Biden Doctrine, from the Fall of Kabul to the Rise of Kiev.”

You literally see a GANTT CHART on every page, along with a few interspersed decision trees and Excel worksheets. You called it completely !!!
I wouldn’t say there is much truth in the book as far as discreet facts or hidden reveals, but it describes how the system functions (as you surmised) and offers character studies of the current office holders. I was struck by the solipsism, the lack of confidence, lack of contact with reality and the fact that they often see themselves as victims. If this group is representative, I can’t see them, or anyone in the West, pulling off a rCBDC or any of the WEF/Davos agenda. They do have the power to crash the current system but I am doubtful they could rebuild anything back better.
Maybe that is the reason the “normies” are still asleep and not in the streets? The US media is unwatchable, Boeing planes are falling out of the sky and Claudine Gay is the president of Harvard. One resists Force with Force. But how do you resist Stupidity? Usually, Darwinian evolution handles that.
All one can do at this point is “stare in wonder” at the train wreck taking place in front of our eyes.
Again, thanks for all that you do !!!
