Believe it or not, there is potential good news out there
By Jerold Levoritz

What Americans need is some good news and perhaps studying “complex systems” can supply it in a backhanded way. In a world given to constant change, no one is ever “correct” for long.

The political right is not perennially correct in its policies and, with extreme certainty, I state for the record that the political left is correct only for microseconds before it is wrong once again. Of course, the left has no need to be correct. Its power ensures its policies will be implemented whether or not they are effective, useful, or pleasant. This is where complex systems come in.

 The reason no one can be right for very long is that complex adaptive systems (which may involve human activity) keep changing. A complex system constantly changes in ways that can be small, large, or catastrophic.

Slow continuous rain on the side of a mountain causes many small avalanches and occasional large destructive ones. That is an ordinary complex system. However, it becomes a complex adaptive system if humans are present. Thus, if there are villages on the side of said mountain and the villagers try to redirect the floodwaters, then the people, the rain, and the mountain constitute a complex adaptive system.

Seeing things through rose colored glasses gets us know where.

Below are excerpts from this article, which from my perspective is pure poppycock.

For a complex adaptive system containing people to work, the people's leaders need to exhibit extreme agility, thoughtfulness, and speed — three attributes we would want to see in any government doing our bidding.

Attributes that Xiden and his cohorts do not have. 

Biden will reign over solutions that will not work.  If we cannot have the satisfaction of having President Trump re-elected, at least we can bask in the schadenfreude of watching leftists stumble about while trying to enrich themselves from an economy that is going to shrink due to their imposed solutions.

This is unacceptable, and I am not sure our economy is sound enough to survive this idiot. 

On another thread, they used the word degrowth and what we are doing with this dead from the neck up dummy as POTUS is marching lock step into  DEFLATION!!!

They are forecasting DEFLATION, using expressions that are nonsensical.

Mr. Levoritz:
"with extreme certainty, I state for the record that the political left is correct only for microseconds before it is wrong once again"

The leftist/communists don't care whether they're "correct" or not.
What they DO care about is being in CONTROL.
When one has power and is in control of the means by which to dispense same, it makes little difference whether one is "correct" or even in the right.
Power is its own reward.

The nice thing about being a despot is you don't have to worry about being wrong.

Not buying the happy talk.
