Pandemic Recovery: "Certification of Incompetency" required

If you ever on a dark clear night from a mountaintop witnessed a celestial landscape, twinkling stars studded on the Milky Way...just try holding that same image as an overlay on top a scan of our brain with all the twinkling of inter-connectivity and compare how our mind also maps, hardwired just like a living universe.

Now imagine the vast powers of our mind...observe it like our own universe inside our own head, see it not only just from eyes but also allow our mind to explore. Now you can look back at that drop. Every day, we face bombarding messages on body fitness, nothing about the mind-fitness, already, proven how little a portion of mind we use any time.

We must openly challenge the tradition of knowledge acquisition games; strategically propagandised by academic hierarchies, brainwashing our understanding to accept degrees and certifications as final and ultimate mastery. What further proof of our foolish un-mastery required today on stripped naked world economies of some 200 countries gasping for survival at varying rates and their educated cadre in search of glue-sniffing bags or masks to avoid lip-readers decipher cursing our collapsing systems.

The Paper-Mache Economies of today, overly licked with printed money, already declared super success, the towers of debts as growth while leadership on podiums proclaimed as certified wizards to block any dialogue, debate, discourse or disruptive challenges. Today, the leaderships at most of the Public Sectors of the world, armed with a drop for the ocean in hand trying to claim controlling the stormy waves.

Mind abandoned over strong abs, critical thinking rejected over Viagra sunrises, complex problem solving over Cannabis high afternoons, and any leftover intellectualisation over Opioid sunsets. Today, the critical lack of leadership, nation-by-nation, or at major global institutions, the absence of truth and integrity at most national stages, showing gaps across the world creating brand new levels and types of chaos in places more damaging than pandemic.

Multiyear “semestering” is only a slow motion money suction model to keep universities alive and not to be confused with some intellectual hunt to find our hidden unknowns. Deniers allowed screaming and breaking down furniture. Time has come to differentiate from heavy rosewood shelved gigantic libraries of knowledge now declared outdated and blocking out of the box, fluid entrepreneurial mental flows.

The new thinking demands understanding the vastness of empty mental spaces, as remains of the undisturbed, unawake and unexplored potential of overly burdened strapped educated mind. Is modern education is more about ‘Certification of Limits’ where upon acquiring doctorate forces us to shut down in deep silence on any new transformations and therefore new shifts sees as losing claim to acquired mastery of period.

Deeply study how our last 1000 life altering innovations primarily delivered by novices and without degrees on the subject. Observe how so-called educated experts of the day brutalised them during their discovery process. To command entrepreneurialism deep study of history of inventions and advancements of civilisation via economic progress are critical. Although, education in any form is always good but it must be free and without limits, if certification in reality is a certification of limits, than certification of incompetence is the new wide-open arena.

Why is academia, across the world, so scared of “Tacit Knowledge”; like riding a bike, something that cannot be ‘written’ as a degree course or series of lectures in a classroom, only actual process of riding a bicycle teaches it, like swimming, like going to war, or inventing a smartphone. Academia loves “Explicit Knowledge”, like bookkeeping, something, precisely written systematically, to practice and eventually become financial wizard to run mega corps or expert to tackle Panama Papers. True and correctly, all sciences and special topics are ‘explicit knowledge’ based. Entrepreneurialism is not. Just, recall one single conference on this differentiation. Study ‘Futurism is Workless’ on Google

So long million inventors like Steve Job, never claimed to be Surgeon or Airline Pilot, and stayed practicing on his or her own crafts, why should academia talking a short course of “entrepreneurship” on LinkedIn or some academic coach suddenly becomes entrepreneurial master. This is fakery. No wonder, today some 100 million MBA in heavy debts are trying to figure out how to paddle resumes.

Today, out of box thinkers, left outside, while the inside world of global economies, free trades, globalisation of sorts and hologramic economies controlling major institutions controlled by great masters of the lest era mostly controlling the game in deep silence. Before we accept today’s harsh realities as final outcome of our so call accumulated and infected education and intelligentsia, the left over ignorance is now our safety net because it is the only place left to open new doors.

Certification of Incompetency is perhaps a more comfortable podium when you start reviewing the global leadership challenges. Despites there are few very good leaders; today lack of leadership due to fake training programs to rehearse sound bites and gestures is the number one shortage issue critically vocalised by the restless citizenry of the world. The world standards and measurements on Public and Private Sector leadership performances must declare distinct divisions between entrepreneurialism and academia.

Enterprise development originating national mobilisation of entrepreneurialism advances must identify certain styles and types of leadership positions and equally highlight the risk of academia-based leadership when it comes to economic development or creating real value creation. The next big debate in works is all about on how many specific new endorsements provided by pandemic recoveries to activate such global adjustments. Time for new thinking on productivity, performance and profitability of economic development regions and arrive at some grassroots prosperity models.

The rest is easy.
