STUPIDITY IN A COMPLEX SYSTEM

The flagship leadership in Pindi don’t understand, the key is to deflate dissent and if they choose, they can remain in power. Wisdom deflects stupidity.

Facing adverse consequences are a measure of stupidity.

Stupidity doesn’t allow exit strategy.

Is placing F-16 fighter jets in Poland used against Russia stupid on part of Poland? I get it, Poland has joined NATO.

Stupidity is elastic because of a lack of “good sense or judgement” across practically an infinite spectrum of non-ending affairs.

Pakistan armed forces top brass lack good “judgement” because they have condoned and have committed extrajudicial killings, assassinations, corruption, and human rights violations. Leaving aside their alternate characterization, they are stupid.

Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, was assassinated by Gavrilo Princip, in 1914.

The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, set off a chain reaction of events in a complex system of alliances and rivalry that led to WWI, is one explanation.

Was assassination an isolated act or a genius plot that began WWI?

One assessment of Gavrilo Princip assassinating Ferdinand is that it was a seemingly “isolated act.”

A generally and a conveniently available explanation of an “isolated act” is that Gavrilo Princip ran into Ferdinand’s motorcade when it took a wrong turn and assassinated Ferdinand and that Princip was a young Bosnian Serb nationalist, part of a small non geopolitical group of conspirators with a specific goal: to kill the Archduke and thereby strike a blow against Austro-Hungarian rule over Slavic territories.  

Similar to a small group, the Pakistan Armed Forces, now a proxy of a geopolitical entity, are engaged in an assigned movement with a specific goal: to rule as directed.

All responsible will be quickly hung by the world tribunals

The movement must rule by use of force. Assassination and killings are a part of a sequence, a necessity and is seen by armed forces a good judgement. 

In Pakistan, a Moment v. Movement has collided. One movement is in possession of force and stupidity, the other people’s movement is in possession of an ideology. The disintegration and the collapse of Pakistan can emerge.

Nazism and Communism, the two deadliest movements collided in WWII. Both in possession of force and ideology. A world order emerged.

Another deadliest clash of two movements is the Taiping Rebellion in China, which took place between 1850 and 1864. This conflict involved the Qing Dynasty, representing traditional Confucian, imperial rule, clashing with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a radical Christian-inspired movement over clash of ideas. The Taiping idea was defeated, but China emerged as a weaker country.

Noting these examples, except for Pakistan, involve proportional masses, all in conflict, with an idea. Their presence of fighting for an idea has overshadowed my focus on stupidity.

Stupidity

To refocus on stupidity, in Pakistan a minority, some 700 thousand men in uniform in essence have collided with a movement of some 30 million people per se. Repression from force is the outcome. 

The clash will end in persecution and a Holocaust, if it runs its course. The Colonial Defense Force (CDF), my chosen name for the Pakistan defensive forces is headed as the Nazis were with the Jews. The Nazi’s belief was their superiority and hate for Jews.

In Germany, the Holocaust began with discriminatory laws. Pakistan is at this stage, discrimination against its citizens by passing laws.

Passing laws is the precursor to killing Khan is a stupidity. By killing Khan, executing the idea as an isolated act will follow a Holocaust.

The CDF movement has to go weaker. Pakistan can only envision the bulk-sale of its assets to vultures (numerous Arab nations.)

As Pakistan is weakened, other movements outside of the 30 million people in Pakistan will join. 

Other movements will take over. That is, the 30 million people movement and those other liberation movements. Today, in the name of Khan, Pakistan stands united. 

A statesman’s primary goal is to save the state. Volodymyr Zelensky heading Ukraine has failed to save the state. From a Ukrainian and from my perspective, please allow me to call Zelensky stupid.

Zelensky’s attack on Kursk is a stupidity, if Russia, forces Ukraine’s unconditional surrender. A Surrender?

Is Putin desiring Ukraine surrender an act of stupidity?

NATO’s attack on Russia is imminent. There is no stupidity on part of NATO. Knowing Russia is not a super power, Super Powers are never classified committing acts of stupidity.

Did Princip lack “good sense” and was stupid? At age 19, he was apprehended, sentenced for life, and died weighing 88 pounds after the end of WWI.

The Pakistan Armed Forces are akin to Princip and the nationalist movement he belonged to. In the case of Pakistan, however, this movement is devoid of nationalist sentiments.

When you are little you need friends.

How does Musk, being little, survive The Milner Group, or the CEO of Telegram Durov survive the onslaught of Europe? Durov was arrested by France a few days back. While the charges against Durov may be disingenuous, the French arrested Durov because of his stupidity.

In geopolitical maneuvers, smaller players are sacrificed. Pakistan’s ruling class are insignificant actors on the geopolitical stage and they possess fewer defenses than Musk or Durov, to avoid harm to themselves. 

 For Pakistani ruling class to remain free, it conveniently conforms. As Durov in the EU will be asked to conform. 

Conforming as a nation is not stupidity. Poland has conformed to NATO, with consequences. 

The so-called leaders or CDF in Pakistan has conformed to the needs of a Super Power as a foreign asset is stupidity. 

As the armed services command conform, they get trapped on their record, which is the other side of the coin. They cannot defend themselves on their record. If questioned, indices are available against, placing Pakistan at the bottom of the count. This eventuality makes them stupid.

At this stage, various goals accomplished in Pakistan, all responsible for crimes against humanity will be quickly hung by the world tribunals from their stupidity. 

The key reason Pakistan armed services are committing acts beyond human rights abuses is suppressing dissent. 

There are ways to avoid stupidity and not fall into the trap. The people’ s actions have spoken for Khan. IK is meaningless to the people, a reality seen in people’s actions. Khan is a spent shell that people desire to reload. Keep IK incarcerated, it is all well with the people. A sad reality.

Eliminating IK, a stupidity, will increase dissent. The flagship leadership in Pindi don’t understand, the key is to deflate dissent and if they choose, they can remain in power. Wisdom deflects stupidity.

Conclusion

There are methods in the new set of conformity. Wisdom my friends–wisdom. The teachings of prophets often faced dissent. 

Jesus Christ (pbuh), may be the best people’s manager. He (pbuh) never left his camp of administration to influence the masses. 

Prophet Mohammed (pbuh), on the contrary had a different style of management. He (pbuh) extensively travelled to influence.
