RE: corona virus and the problem with the global institiutions
Some time ago I read a criticism that was written in the manner of a Bad Joke, in which an extraterrestrial asked an abducted person "do you choose inept people to direct them? Why do they do that?"
It is something that is not funny, but certainly it is to think about it, there are certainly governments that have not used democratic mechanisms to take power, but it cannot be denied that in countries of democratic tradition we can find that elections are often a carnival of exemptions or things more passionate than rational, which has facilitated the rise to power of all kinds of "politicians" who proclaim Anti-Politics, Populism of the 21st Century or a simple and shameless looting of public resources in a corruption in Very badly concealed occasions.
In such circumstances, it is unfortunate, but I believe that the political caste is not interested in the issue of the epidemic because it still does not see how to take advantage of it, it is preferable that it explodes and is a situation in which they can activate emergency mechanisms and claim the recognition of his "Noble Actions protecting his People".
As for the children and grandchildren, what scares me the most is that if I compare my generation with that of my grandparents, I don't think we are more sensible or wise than they are, so I have serious doubts that our offspring are smarter that we ... In a horrible scenario of the future, I have even considered that they can be even more stupid than us and that will facilitate the treacherous, selfish and corrupt actions of the political castes of that time.
