Another day, another political drama. A new regulation has passed, new tax is introduced, this politician yelled at that politician, the bad guy is winning, another war has started.
While these things sometimes have real consequences (especially war), in most cases they are but a distraction. For people who take it seriously, it creates fear and there is always a political solution. Vote for us! Give us more money! We need more power! You are powerless to fix this on your own.
Peter Diamandis says that the world's biggest problems are the world's biggest business opportunities. That's what we are being distracted from. That we - either ourselves or some entrepreneur from our community - can solve this problem. Instead we are told we should give away our power to the political and bureaucrat class.
The politicians can't reach the dark forest though. But we are already there. So the distraction makes even less sense for us. Yes, we might fear whatever spooky words come out of the Constant Crisis Networks' talking heads, but we know the politicians can never solve these problems in the dark forest.
The proper approach was described by Paul Rosenberg - the politicians and the old ways should be in our rear-view mirror. Understand enough so it does not affect us, but look forward from the Bronze Age style rulership.
So let's look up to entrepreneurs, and be entrepreneurial ourselves, avoid distractions and build a better future. Ourselves and for ourselves.
