You could put the paragraph below as a description how the world screwed the Covid-19 response, climate change, immigration, the US response to Michael. Town/George Floyd and now the Palestinian protest.

“Start with the fact that the “smartest” people are filled with arrogance and hubris, but are not actually very smart.  Add that many innumerate Politics and English majors have flooded into a field that cries out for engineering calculations.  Add too that groupthink and orthodoxy enforcement prevent anyone from pointing out obvious flaws.  And then throw in a strong dose of religious zealotry that obstructs the intrusion of anything resembling critical thinking.  All in all, it’s a prescription for catastrophe.”
