The nationalization of stupidity

Trapped in the singular formal logic

“Functional stupidity is an organised attempt to stop people from thinking seriously about what they do at work. When people are seized by functional stupidity, they remain capable of doing the job, but they stop asking searching questions about their work. In the place of rigorous reflection, they become obsessed with superficial appearances. Instead of asking questions, they start to obey commands. Rather than thinking about outcomes, they focus on the techniques for getting things done. And the thing to be done is often to create the right impression.”

“Of the analytic tradecraft standards, the most difficult to judge is accuracy. If intelligence analysis is intended to inform, then the information must be accurate. Intelligence products often contain assessments that forecast future developments, giving decision makers ‘decision advantage’ as they seek to navigate the changing competitive geopolitical environment. But intelligence analysis can only deliver decision advantage if it is accurate – inaccurate information or forecasts actually harms decision makers’ ability to respond to a situation. Now, how can we produce an accurate intelligence report on a phenomena we don't understand at all? How can we perform an intelligence analysis of a ball of light whose nature we totally ignore? How can we produce relevant and accurate information about non-human UAPs?”

Your so-called ‘progress’ is measured not in the wellbeing of your people but by the padded coffers of the elite. You must ask yourselves: Is this the pinnacle of human ingenuity? A world where smartphones track the poor to the last penny, while the vaults of the already rich swell uninterrogated? Where artificial intelligence polices neighborhoods rather than cures disease? Where data analytics optimize ad revenue instead of resource distribution? This is not progress: it is a betrayal of the promise that technology could be the great equalizer.

“In Sol-3 timeline DENIED we released to the public generative bioengineering tools that became as ubiquitous as smartphones in Sol-3 2025. With few barriers to entry and interfaces that guided even the untrained, anyone could sculpt genomes, splice synthetic tissues, or assemble entirely novel life forms. What began as an exhilarating age of personal creativity soon spiraled into a maelstrom of unintended consequences. At first, the errors seemed trivial: an engineered algae that bloomed far too vigorously, clogging waterways; a bio-paint insect whose self-repairing shell proved resistant to all known control methods. Scientists raced to contain these outbreaks, but the sheer diversity and volume of creations outpaced every quarantine protocol. As engineered species collided with natural ones, ecological balance unraveled, and food chains collapsed. The final collapse was not a cataclysmic war, nor was it wrought by malicious intent. Instead, humanity found itself outmaneuvered by a profusion of tailored life forms whose collective impact was simply too vast and too unpredictable. What was the lesson we learned? We learned that humans are functionally stupid.”

“You dream of a mobilization of all available material and immaterial resources, all available powers of action, in order to create a setting capable of working together and capable of dealing with a designed crisis. But what is the crisis that will give rise to the announcement of a permanent state of emergency which is probably never-ending? In what sense does the crisis allow us to announce the state of mobilization in which humanity must remain at its disposal, just as nature, waiting for the verdict in its case? Imaginary aliens won't do the job; a lethal virus won't do the job. Climate change won't do the job. We propose releasing the generative bioengineering technologies for people to be able to design and create their own life forms (pets, your personal sex slave, your factory workers, even your own voters). Everyone everywhere would be able to create humanoids at home. Would that do the job? Yes, that will do the job!”
