Shipping container stacking as a cause of hope:
"A miracle occurred this week. Everyone I have talked to about it, myself included, is shocked that it happened. It’s important to
Understand what happened.
Make sure everyone knows it happened.
Understand how and why it happened.
Understand how we might cause it to happen again.
Update our models and actions.
Ideally make this a turning point to save civilization.
That last one is a bit of a stretch goal, but I am being fully serious. If you’re not terrified that the United States is a dead player, you haven’t been paying attention – the whole reason this is a miracle, and that it shocked so many people, is that we didn’t think the system was capable of noticing a stupid, massively destructive rule with no non-trivial benefits and no defenders and scrapping it, certainly not within a day. If your model did expect it, I’m very curious to know how that is possible, and how you explain the years 2020 and 2021."
