This is fascinating. Examples are mainstream today. Media and social media not only shows the incompetence, but they both show the reasons. The contorted apologetics. Excuses for incompetence acts abound.




“It’s a law of the universe that 87 percent of all people in all professions are incompetent.” John Gardner
 
Those we choose to "lead" us are a reflection of us as a whole.

So are those we choose to "entertain" us.

So I'd think there's a perfectly valid reason to be concerned right now.
.
Has it always been this way or is it just starting ?

I think it's always been this way, and that we're just allowing ourselves to decay as a culture.

Anyone who WANTS to be president, should be automatically disqualified.

In Obama's case, affirmative action.
 
Leadership and management are two different things. Organizations often fail because of conflict between the recognized leaders and the legitimate manager. Especially when the leader is subordinate to the manager.

--so they vote for the psychos/etc

..you quote people ''in all professions'' --not leaders.....I would say, in my experience, about 20% are incompetent ...most know what they are doing--but make mistakes--as everyone does
...in war, the leaders make mistakes--they are human, and war is not something everyone does everyday---it's different ......are you sure you are not confusing incompetent with making mistakes?

Lost humans "definitely" do these things more often than not.

..I wouldn't call them lost, --just being human
 
Why not just cut to the chase and say that all people are incompetent to one degree or another?

If they don't have Jesus in their lives guiding them, then they are definitely lost.. Now one can downplay it all one wants or make excuses all one wants, but the truth is the truth, and it will never change.
