Ex Nummis

We’ve known for years that starting school at 08.00 is detrimental to school-aged children and teenagers, but we keep doing it.

We’ve known for years that WFH can be just as productive and even more so than RTO, but we keep doing it.

We’ve known for ages that housing homeless people helps them and society much better than criminalizing them, but we keep doing it.

We’ve known for ages that repressive stances on drugs are counterproductive, but we keep doing it.

We’ve known for ages that a 4-day workweek results in gains for everyone, including the owner class themselves, yet we keep on doing 5.

I’m starting to think that gaining knowledge and insight is completely useless if the results are never taken into account if they don’t fit the currently reigning narrative.

Humans are a deeply flawed species. That alone is bad enough, but we KNOW we are, we KNOW how to solve at least some of it, yet we simply refuse.

It’s not imposter syndrome if you’re actually incompetent and worthless, but society is so rotten to the core they don’t notice anymore.
