Nice summary.

As you know, these moronic , (the followers),and criminal (the instigators), behavior permeates all governments, and most other organizations. I don't know how we continue without real accountability. Things may have to get uncomfortable.

We live in a technocracy run by middle manager types who are interested only in stabbing each other in the back to obtain promotion. They rely on those boffin chappies to tell them what's cool in (bio)science and they haven't a clue whether what they're told is right, wrong or just misleading.

None of them either as an individual or as a group is capable of handling the problems that a technological society throws up. This is our doom (OK I've been watching Lord of the Rings again).

Until we can find a political system under which good policy is made in response to novel and complex problems, we are fated to spiral down to complete collapse. Have a nice day.
