So they ate with their hands? Now wondering if forks/chopsticks emerged due to noodle emergence and domination.

Try translating differential equations or musical notations or chemical formulas into english. When we find one language to be useless or inefficient at representing reality we create another language. Language is just a tool we use to think and transfer info from one chimp brain to another.

Thats cause age doesnt signal what stress or trauma you have dealt with in life.

Depends totally on the life experience of the person. Look at the reactions of friends and family to the Luigi Mangione story. They are all universally suprised and shocked. Why?

Cause the assumption is a well educated well off 26 year old can handle what ever the environment throws at them.

You have to find a prob by talking to orgs on the ground and then think about tech applications. Doing it the other way round can be frustrating. Useful to read James C Scotts Seeing like a State.

Well there is the Chinese and Russian example. The power just gets misused and creates it own issues.

People want simple and quick solutions. And they dont like answers they dont want to hear. Specifically about what behavior is rewarded and incentivized. As Veblen pointed out a hundred years ago, the flaw with Marx is not that there are exploiters and the exploited, its that there is the Leisure class and everyone else who given a choice wants that lifestyle.

The entire media and edu system promote consumption, wealth and status accumulation 24x7. When you are constantly hit with these signals punishing a few people here and there is just for show.

Its complex cause you cant really find one person to blame. What no one really says is we are struggling with complexity overload. And what complicates it is all the people's wealth and status accumulation falsely signals control. When they really have less and less control the more complex the system gets.

When you look at pentagon leaders and afg/iraq or Wall St CEOs and 2008 gfc or the Pope and the peado army or linux kernel maintainers and serious security bugs found everyday the commonality is Complexity.

No one is fit the more complex things gets. So even though we get Tahrir Square once in a while, decade later we still have Generals in charge.

Scaling has become easy but scaling without unintended costs and consequences the past few decades have shown is complex.

I had a weird boss once, who would reframe every prob or discussion into an explore-exploit tradeoff and how to "push" the ratio between the two towards more explore.

So for example he would say things like okay we have 10 ppl in explore mode and 90 ppl in exploit mode. The exploiters are generating enough cash to sustain org carrying capacity of explorers, how do we increase carrying capacity?
