LeadershipStupidity comes in many forms. I’d like to say a few words on one particular form that I think may be the most troubling of all. We might call it ‘institutional stupidity’. It’s a kind of stupidity that’s entirely rational within the framework within which it operates: but the framework itself ranges from grotesque to virtual insanity. Noam Chomsky Institutional StupidityThe U.S. has experienced a complete failure of leadership in the last decades. It has allowed infrastructure to deteriorate, built the world's largest military, embarked on pointless wars, created a dysfunctional government that serves monied interests, incarcerated more people than any other country, and, worst of all, put us on a path that assures our destruction: either slowly by climate change or rapidly by nuclear destruction. Media does not allow such ideas because it is owned by wealthy
oligarchs. LinksBibliography |
