31-03-2025
Inspired by Hillary Clinton's recent New York Times op-ed — "How Much Dumber Will This Get?" — this piece looks beyond policy failures and into something far more dangerous: the chaotic stupidity that now defines global power.
Trump's recklessness, Putin's irrational war, the tech elite's AI hype machine — we keep looking for strategy, for logic, for grand plans. But what if the chaos is real? What if stupidity is the point?
At Juste Flamme, we name the crisis clearly: Stupidity isn't harmless. It governs. It kills. And it's winning.
We're still trying to outsmart authoritarian idiocy — when we should be confronting it.
