Wow. A well-intentioned, central plan to manage just a miniscule number of hugely impactful details, including percentages and timeframes and headcounts, without even mentioning feedback mechanisms that would adjust those numbers to account for, say, change. What could possibly go wrong? (Are there any other important things you may have left out of your grand economic plan?)

Out with the old geniuses. In with the new.

I thought you had a better grasp of the magnitude of what you don't know. (I honestly considered today's date to see if it was April 1.)

ouch.

P.S I take it all back. If I understand, this is a dream you no longer have. Or it's a ChatGPT dream.

But it's not MDCB. It can't be. If it is, I'm stupid. (OK. Even if I am stupid, it's not MDCB.)

I too had dreams like this. But as life revealed its complexities, day in and day out, it kicked my intellectual ass as it does to this moment.
