From Wikipedia:
The purpose of a system is what it does (POSIWID) is a systems thinking heuristic coined by Stafford Beer,[1] who observed that there is "no point in claiming that the purpose of a system is to do what it constantly fails to do."[2] The term is widely used by systems theorists, and is generally invoked to counter the notion that the purpose of a system can be read from the intentions of those who design, operate, or promote it. When a system's side effects or unintended consequences reveal that its behavior is poorly understood, then the POSIWID perspective can balance political understandings of system behavior with a more straightforwardly descriptive view.
Origins of the term

Stafford Beer coined the term POSIWID and used it many times in public addresses. In his address to the University of Valladolid, Spain, in October 2001, he said:[1]
According to the cybernetician, the purpose of a system is what it does. This is a basic dictum. It stands for bald fact, which makes a better starting point in seeking understanding than the familiar attributions of good intention, prejudices about expectations, moral judgment, or sheer ignorance of circumstances.

While Europe burns and the bar for civic behavior keeps hitting new lows, here's some random news from Japan:

It's like they've isekai'd to another world.
Hahah, Babylon Bee really nailed that. Kamala is the ultimate day drinker.

How do you demolish this? You have to eat the crust too.
A: Cautious start, crust first approach
B: Take no prisoners, crust last
C: Deep first cut, then straight into B
C2: Deep first cut, then around the crust
I tend to go for C2.
If it wasn't clear to you before now, the last 2 weeks of MSM/Reddit/TikTok/Meta should have made it crystal clear:
Western politics revolves around appointing people that won't be hated by women.
I fucking hate that this is true, but it is.

You simply must try https://calcgpt.io, a calculator that uses a LLM to do math
If you understand what dialectics are, then you understand why they have arranged a political battle between Good Black Woman™ vs Evil Old White Man™ with the pieces left on the board.
If Evil Old White Man™ won't actually die from assassination, then he at least needs to die symbolically. And be humiliated as much as possible in the process by "losing" again in November.
It's the same as what they've done to Star Wars & Indiana Jones but IRL.
