A brief explanation of the rebellion you are seeing this week.

We have a narrative that our elected leaders are brilliant. They are not. Most of them are idiots. In neoliberalism governance comes from manuals developed by consultants or computer simulations not creativity.

Computer predictions can only run simulations with so many degrees of freedom from the norm, the expected. Each “step away” is called a sigma.
A computer simulation can only calculate so many sigmas.
At the time before the housing crash it was 26 sigmas.

As Taleb explains in the Black Swan, what really changes things for humans are unexpected and rare events so far off the standard deviation, they really cannot be predicted. This is how a hedge is made in investing, a bet that thing is going to happen.

Every person has a certain degree of risk tolerance. The less risk adversity a person has, the more a person seems to have the ability to predict, not with exactness but a hunch, that a Black Swan event is going to happen. Part of mental illness is no risk adversity.

Politicians are very risk adverse people. They have usually ended up in politics because they wanted money and power but were not willing to take risks. Risks involve taking a certain amount of losses to get a win. Like a sports team, a person does not talk about their losses.

How does this apply to the pandemic? Well the model said, a model developed by the Rand Corp. and IBM, is if every government around the globe gets every person on the earth to act the same way at the same time, the pathogen will be contained.
No account for randomness.

A motherfucking child would not believe that was possible. Somehow, governmental officials do. See, our elected officials today do not make decisions like an investor or an artist, with a notion and maybe testing that notion, sketching it out for themselves in thumbnails...

How do governmental officials make decisions in neoliberalism?
Consultants! Like Booz Allen Hamilton.
Mostly Booz. I used to work here. Best job ever.

What does Booz pay people to do? Come up with wacky ideas all day and then implement them through technology that allows an organization to execute the wacky idea they thought was the coolest.
The place seems really conservative but a lot of artists work here.

See, neoliberalism is based on the idea that government is a failure, it can’t control things. Hence all decision making is given up to the private sector and elected officials just carry out whatever idea they got from the consultants. That is, up until Trump.

Trump is a direct reaction to neoliberalism. His idea is “fuck that shit, I will make the decision.” That’s why he seems random and is often thinking aloud and switches gears. Both Bernie Sanders and AOC are similar, they reject this idea of consultants making decisions.

I do as well because I have been behind the curtain. It’s a motherfucking adult preschool. Play is what helps anyone, adult or child, create things. However, the idea that everyone is acting with one intent is a lie. It’s the money and the freedom. Boy is the money good.

All the ideas are collected as data which is why Booz hires consultants. They may have 100 people working on the same thing. I made apps or web based training, clickable steps so a federal office or the military could carry things out.

Now you have 100 different people who don’t know each other making a different version of a solution. Then Booz can test all those solutions and calculate the one with the best outcome but in an office not in the real world.

This is a super funny article about Booz Allen calling consultants spies because there is also an office inside the CIA. We are not spies. It just takes a top secret classification to work at Booz because of the DOD related clients. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/07/us/booz-allen-hamilton-nsa.html

The CIA is a central hub for intelligence on things, not all military related. A lot of the intelligence gathering is super mundane stuff to create uniform information for governments and global corporations. Like, how much corn people are around the world.

The idea of the CIA and this synergy with multinationals came after the chaos of World War 2 and in the midst of Communist revolutions.
Government had failed. A new order would rise that gave full faith to the market and also data or what I call “oh computer.”

Kubrick was a huge critic of neoliberalism and the ideas coming out of it as well as the experiments with things in the counterculture. LSD was released into the counterculture literally as a live experiment to see how people reacted. This was a precursor to psychiatric drugs

Alex in A Clockwork Orange was, subtly, taking a drug that was a precursor to Adrenal. Charles Manson actually took it too. The CIA was experimenting with making someone who could kill on command. Alex and his conditioning and reconditioning is a critique of that madness.

You can’t make someone who kills on command because people are not computers. You can’t wire brains uniformly as the human brain is a computer beyond the comprehension of a humans ability to create a replica in a computer because our synapses connect in jumps.

Understand that the government also contracts with itself in neoliberalism so the military contracts with the CIA. The military is the biggest contractor with the government and private sector and therefore, makes too many decisions.

Often, at Booz Allen or RAND, a military soliton will be applied to a nonmilitary solution such as the pandemic lockdown. The scenario for it is the release of a weaponized bioagent not a naturally evolving virus. Hence, that’s why it feels fascist, menacing.

Chaos is seen as a bad word because of how it has been applied mostly to disasters.
It’s an especially bad word to someone who is wealthy and grew up in a very controlled environment, ie Private School, a world with little risk.

This is different for the upper class, with the luxury of the mom at home, what emerged for this strata of society was parenting by management, how to raise a child or rather, how to do some shit human primates have been doing instinctively for millennia.

Have you ever spanked your kid or your dog without thinking when it ran in the street and you were scared the thing you loved was gonna get killed? That’s instinct. The spanking is supposed to be a lighter version of getting hit by a car. The whole cycle is instinct.

The last free time was actually the 80s. We are going into the next because normal people do not want to feel controlled. We are inclined to like the chaos, if we are not spoiled or sheltered, because we are conditioned to THRIVE in normal chaos.

AOC is not inherently dumb she is the product of a university system that no longer has a core curriculum, teaches ideas as coming out of history and also presents a historical context.
The new left that was revived in the 1990s did away with this. Cause why?
Racist.

Not so ironically if you go to an Ivy or U of Chicago the first two years are:
Core curriculum.
This is sort of the opposite of rules for thee not for me.
It’s I know the rules so I will tell them to thee but I don’t have to follow them, I know them.

So rich kids have one education system the poor have another - with it getting progressively more dumbed down as colleges cater more to first generation students - all in the name of helping the poor. Really.
I am a huge critic of this, always have been. It’s classist.

Paulo Freire was as well. He saw the poor having the same education as the rich and it leading to the poor being able to liberate themselves, not through an intellectual led revolution like Lenin -a vanguard leading the proletariat - but the poor person leading herself.

Self concept is task completion identity. I wrote a song, that song is who I am.
