A mathematician, Abraham Wald, pointed out that perhaps the reason certain areas of the planes weren’t covered in bullet holes was that planes that were shot in certain critical areas did not return.
This insight led to the armor being re-enforced on the parts of returning planes where there were no bullet holes. This wisdom was also beneficially applied to the Skyraider during the Korean War.
This shows that the reasons why we are missing certain data may be more meaningful than the available data, itself.
So, in all the many questions we ask here on GAW, don’t only listen to what the evidence says, listen also to what is not being said.
The global economy is complex and intertwined. We see how the COVID shut downs introduced instability and delays. An optimized supply chain can be lean and not have stores to handle extended delays.
The direct method of depopulation would risk collapsing the global economy. If things are too out of control, it affects the rich elite living in their bubble.
