Irrational world politics and Napoleon

Compared to young people, older people do a lot of irrational behavior. Working with the elderly shows that many of them are in the illusion of being the boss. When the same kind of people who are aiming for the boss gather, they always fight. Until there is a bad ending, the intellectual abilities of the elders are busy forming a conflict rather than rationality. I was able to insight into the common behavior of these elders in both intellectual and simple workplaces.

 

The irrational trend of the elderly is increasing not only in the workplace where I work, but also in national management and international relations. The same is true of Korean politics, the politics of China and Russia, and the West, although temporary due to the influence of democratic political systems. It is natural for the elders who grew up in the Cold War to lead the world to the Cold War. This is because the worldview they learned when they were young has been fixed for a long time and forms the current order.

 

Chinese President Xi Jinping, who deeply studied Mao Zedong's ideas during the Cold War, made China a country competing for hegemony with the United States. The United States, which has contributed a lot to China's scientific and technological development with its globalization ideology, experienced the reality that the globalization ideology became a boomerang and had bad results for the United States. The U.S. has also offered an inevitable protectionist card. Politics in the United States is much easier to come up with such a decision. This is because most of the members of the Biden administration spent their youth during the Cold War. Moreover, Russian President Putin has made irrational decisions these days, sending the world into a state of war.

 

Napoleon was also a pioneer of modern technocrat managers. He studied many science subjects, especially mathematics. He always had scientists and engineers around him and looked ahead in the same way as scientists. He ended up in trouble because he lost his precise calculation power and did something reckless like the Russian invasion.

Nowadays, the politics of young people with a reasonable world view is needed rather than ideology or religion. These days, even if not necessarily young people, the world needs talented people who can think reasonably.
