The new everything started with the "new math" during the 1970s, then learning to read without phonetics, then "the new normal" in 1981, all the while in the background, everything new in science and now, "the modern monetary theory."

New means throwing out five thousand years of human progress and replacing it with reductionistic emptiness.

New has two elements to it. First, it is replacing rationality with replication; and then it is replacing a functional result with fantasized degeneracy. The first is required to get to the second. The second is how power is mongered by getting rationality out of the way.

The result shows how power is mongered. Power is extremely vulnerable to criticism. Criticism is an element of rationality. Preventing criticism from occurring is like sticking a finger in a dike, while the water flows in too many other places. But getting rid of rationality gets rid of all criticism in one sweep.

Power is only mongered by incompetents who are jealous of rational persons. The mongering part is an attempt to reduce constructive existence to organized crime.

Fantasy technology has that purpose. It must be totally devoid of rationality, because it is promoted by persons who are incapable of producing rationality. That's why the purpose is 100% renewable energy rather than something more achievable. Anything other than an absolute would require rational analysis. Extremism requires no rationality. Just punch it to the floor, and anything goes.

Incompetent power mongers are replicators. They assume replicating is superior to rationality, because it works for them and is ultra simplistic and devoid of the complexities which throw them for a loop. But the simplicity also means nonfunctionality. Complex realities cannot be handled properly with ultra simplicity.
