Our biggest problem isn’t speed, it’s vision.
‘Vision’ needs a qualifier. It’s not a lack of vision, we have that in Spades. The problem is lack of alignment and no one is successfully proving they have the right map. Sure, we get isolated pockets of brilliant arguments, but the broader hype machine has adopted a ‘flood the zone’ strategy.
In the old days of ‘move fast and break things,’ I used to call this chaotic energy ‘Brownian motion.’
Today, we’re dealing with the same random collisions, but ‘Brownian vision’ doesn’t sound right to me.
