Oria biddle says, in your podcast with neil ferguson. He mentioned the fact that it is easy to place all the blame on individual actors for failures to meet demands during a catastrophe. And ad he opted to emphasize the role of networks and how our lack of native, native vigilance can cause disfunction. However, he seemed to be down playing the role that one man, donald trump material, had in politicizing and therefore swaying the republican response and messaging around the crisis. Is it not valid to blame the spear head as a useful shorthand when trying to trouble shoot, how best not to repeat these same errors?
Welcome to the October 2021 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
