We are entering a new era. We need honesty, integrity, and humility. We need to lower our expectations of others and raise our own standards instead. We can no longer pretend that the hard things are someone else's responsibility.

Right now we're stuck with academics creating models that attempt to predict outcomes.

That means assumptions, variables, long term forecasts, and short term checkpoints for testing and recalibrating the assumptions.

Many of the decision makers and influencers of the world are still in sport mode.
