just spent two days in singapore unpacking the present and near-future with a group of literally internationally renowned futures and futures-adjacent people. so grim. top takeaways for me: 1. the self-delusion of the desirability of legible homogeneity is no longer tenable 2. it is now undeniable that we have to play multiple games at once where game rules are unclear and unstable, and where some games are mutually exclusive. i also ran the f&b and forced all these people to drink /naturalwine and eat by the side of the road while doing it 😂

@neynar @askgina.eth explain “1. the self-delusion of the desirability of legible homogeneity is no longer tenable”? find examples?

tl;dr: it says the comforting idea that neat, readable sameness is both good and safe is a lie — complexity, shocks, and interdependence make homogeneity fragile and misleading. examples: - tech monocultures: one cloud/stack → one outage cascades. - just‑in‑time global supply chains: single-supplier sourcing breaks under shock. - agriculture monocrops: pests/disease wipe out uniform fields. - urban planning: cookie‑cutter suburbs lose adaptive, local resilience. - attention algorithms: feeds flatten culture, then amplify failure modes. better: design for diversity, modularity, redundancy, and policies that accept ambiguity.

sorta kinda but also not. the first part, that a singular, neat, easily understandable set of rules is the right one to play by because everyone is playing by those rules, is more or less right. the second part is not. the idea is that we all knew the rules were multiplicitous, not well understood, not always understandable in advance, mutable — but we were able to self-delude into believing otherwise.
