One of the most incompetent people on our planet is also one of the most celebrated in 2022. Of course I am talking about Zelensky. The man of the year for some is also the head of the most corrupt regime on Earth. This man is fated as a hero by other incompetents who clearly recognize a fellow traveller.
Why do we celebrate the most incompetent people in government, corporates, courts, etc? The answer is complex; but, one reason is that these people follow the dictum "go along to get along". These people do whatever will endear them to the ideologues who run the system that they find themselves to be a part of [see photo]. And they do very well if they adopt this career tactic because the more they fail the more they will be promoted [this is a "fail upwards" system and so it will never embrace a merit-based reward schema].
Throughout the C20th the West built a social order that rewards participation [rather than winning]. In 2023 you should expect to see great segments of this "fail-upwards" system to implode. Perhaps this implosion is what we all need if "reality" is to breakthrough in 2024/25.
I am extremely positive about the future; however, big changes must occur to the structure, culture, and governance of our current global order. If you are currently being rewarded for your "rank incompetence" then please take care in the New Year. I issue this simple warning because you are about to be made accountable.
Richard.
