Human Incompetence Theory

People’s accomplishments are overrated. Lifetime achievement awards? Please.

We are born unable to control bodily functions and exit similarly. The zenith of human existence occurs when one transcends loser status and mates only to give birth to adorable organisms subsequently capable of wrecking the planet. But do the parents have any earthly idea how to successfully care for and raise their young? Dirt farmers could do as well in this department as PhDs from Ivy League institutions.

Rocket scientists are just as capable of moral dysfunction as highly-compensated athletes with near perfect hand-eye coordination or top-of-the-line political personalities. Moral dysfunction? Train wrecks come to mind

Which component in the micro- and macro- observable universe is just wrong? You get the picture.

    Ship of fools. Still, responding to this just could be my most intelligence act today.
