"Unprecedented"
Disclaimer: BI Data Guy for 35 years in Corporate America (using a competing product to MSTR) and 27 year Cancer Patient advocate using my basic formula I learned in my profession: Data to Info to Knowledge to Power. (Our world is 'Data Rich, Information Poor') and I AM A HACK.
Begin of my TLDR:
The title is my least favorite overused word, in the world right now. Runner up is "journey."
We are so arrogant as a human species, just like we were 100 years ago when we thought we knew it all.
'Recorded history' is really about 150 years, that is such a small timeframe when the earth is 4.5 billion years old.
Now, with 200 channels and billions online vying for our attention, everything is 'unprecedented.'
The definition is: "Never done or known before."
Really? We used to use 1 in a 100 year storm, but Milton they are now saying 1 in a 1000 years. How did you get to a 1000? That is such a round number.
Yet, here we are, as arrogant as ever, where we think we wield more power than Mother Nature and somehow 'we' are causing all these disasters?
Seriously?
Oddly enough, to see how old the earth is, they use 'carbon dating' and experts say we have been through at least 5 ice ages.
Some say we are in an ice age right now since there is ice on the North and South poles, albeit melting at an 'unprecedented' pace.
Really?
How about when the sun cooled slightly 700 million years ago and Earth was covered in ice, which lasted 57 million years?
How about 7000 years ago there was no ice or glaciers at both poles?
I am no expert on Climate Change, but after working in Corporate America, I have zero confidence we humans could figure it out anyway. Why? Project Managers. There is no one solution to Climate Change, it is about 150,000 solutions with each one needed to be headed up by a human. A human, the same ones who have ruined our lives with wars and financial decay. Each project's outcome, if mismanaged, could do more HARM to our earth. Come on people, think of the faces of the PMs you have worked with at Corporate or the very best leaders you know?
But regardless, I know I am 60 percent water, I live in a dreadful climate (Minneapolis) 6 months out of the year where I know I am solar powered and need to go South for the sun/Vitamin D. I like warm versus cold.
I am stopping here without a dramatic click bait ending, but I just want all you 'experts' out there on both sides to 'consider' you don't have a clue on mostly everything you think you know as fact.
Admit you are a hack like me? Learn everyday. Embrace the chaos.
Not everyone is unprecedented or as big an influencer, maybe we humans as a collective whole are the least influential on what happens to Earth now and in the future?
p.s. Bitcoin is unique and unprecedented
