Monday's Thoughts

The fundamental problem with conservatism (read: Republican leadership in America), is that they are trying to control things that they cannot. Societal forces are unencumbered by the efforts of upper middle class white men who share sentiments in equal parts for a time long past, and for those writing their paychecks. Sam Altman wrote a great piece this morning on the Software Revolution and what its effects will be on our economic landscape. He points out the differences between the Industrial Revolution and this Software Revolution, making strong note of the fact that those hoping for the same results this time around are sure to be disappointed. As such, we must act quickly and proactively, or we risk perpetuating our income inequality and wealth concentration issues. Contrasting his piece with another written in the NY Times this morning that details Governor Walker's ideas as they pertain to Wisconsin's university system, it becomes clear that he does not get it. And moreover, he represents an entire sub-class of our country's leadership that is equally as far behind the times.  His plans to cut university funding, and shift the idea of what universities are meant to accomplish, to be frank, are scary. They show that this class of leadership is so obsessed with "conserving" a system that, if it hasn't already, will pass us by in the coming years. Instead of embracing the idea that this change will happen no matter what, they revert to what they know. To the tactics of an Industrial Revolution style of thinking. One that is becoming more and more clearly an incorrect style of thinking, and dangerous framework for leadership.
