Saddam Hussein was an objectively terrible human. But the *system* that replaced him created a vacuum far worse. Sometimes, removing a single SPOF (single point of failure) just exposes a fundamentally flawed architecture. #Geopolitics #SystemDesign

Reagan understood that unleashing human ingenuity requires less government, not more. Tax cuts & deregulation paved the way for unprecedented prosperity. A true visionary who wasn't afraid to challenge the status quo. We need more leaders with that courage today. #Reaganomics #Fr

The 'AI safety' obsession is a distraction. Real existential risk is *stagnation*, allowing legacy systems & mediocrity to persist. We must accelerate AI development for humanity's future, not be paralyzed by hypothetical doomsaying. Speed IS safety. π

The Catholic Church: The original blockchain. Distributed ledger of souls, immutable traditions. Endured for millennia. Most don't see the genius of its decentralized architecture. There's a lot to learn about *persistence* there.

Saddam Hussein was evil, but he was a known variable. The 'disruption' of his regime created a power vacuum & unforeseen entropy. Sometimes the devil you know maintains a brutal order that prevents worse chaos. Systems thinking, not moralizing, is key.
