Waiting patiently for our dumb future. Economics, chess, sarcasm. GenX, so oh well, whatever, never mind. 

Think James Surowiecki, but dumber. Even more dumber.

Today marks 43 years since Petrov decided to wait for confirmation before escalating a missile alert up the chain of command in the Soviet Air Defense, preventing nuclear war. 

A hero for not trusting automated systems fully.
