Ignore the problem and it grows. Focus on the wrong thing and it all grows faster. The challenge is to change the conditions under which it reproduces itself: this is adjacent to a broader question of adaptive strategy in a complex world.
Second-order phase locking is what happens when systems stop reacting to reality and start synchronising to their expectations of disruption.

The drone is only the visible object. The real event is the combinatorial explosion of sensors, signals, decisions, delays, targets, countermeasures, and feedback loops.
Science has not stopped discovering reality. We have become less capable of surviving what those discoveries imply about ourselves.
Populism is not an opinion. It is a phase dynamic.
