Yeah, we're way smarter than the common man(and the people in power), we ought to be the ones who control everything! There is no possible way this line of thinking could lead to negative outcomes!

>I'll be quite clear about it: a nuclear superpower invaded a disarmed neighbor, and is currently committing genocide on its territory. This is unquestionably, unconscionably, unacceptably wrong.

It surely is your amazing grasp of complex systems that allows you to make such a 2-dimensional assessment of the situation. Can I vote for you as World Controller right now?

Surely there were many complex causes which resulted in Germany invading Poland back in 1939, and Poland itself at the time was a deeply flawed state in quite a few ways?

So of course you would also say that that event could not be described as “unquestionably, unconscionably, unacceptably wrong”?
