ZK

Crony Capitalism in the USA will dominate, especially if a recession hits in 2020 and if Trump wins re-election. Inequality will fester, deficits balloon into the trillions each fiscal year, climate catastrophe will hit earlier and harder than anticipated. Calls for reform to capitalism will contradict falling profits, so the system will become more repressive and reactionary. Democratic norms, practices, and institutions will wither. Trolls will patrol voices to the contrary. Elections will be rigged. Game this out.  NYT column.

KeyWords

From OED

simulacrum: appearance without substance; fake representation; strategic potential since a simulacrum has no objectivity.

system dynamics as simulacrum, maybe 70% of substance captured; artificial components in presumed intelligible order, thus fallible, so confirm.

“A collection of artificial objects organized for a particular purpose, as components of a mechanism, roads, architectural features, etc.”

Say’s Law: supply creates its own demand per price;

Delphi Definition

Delphi as Zettelkasten or EIC, compiles, uh, WaynesWorld as PostProfWork.

Delphi captures mission of lighting a path to the future (2050), which, to me, looks bleak. So, rediscover notion of ProfWork as K2L around a speculative foresight knowledge base, of sorts.

Major breakthrough based on CMS in WP.
