Here's a sign the Heir's found that we're not learning *anything* from the Coronacrisis.  He happened upon a business minute on audio, on terrestrial radio, and they were talking about e-signatures.  This was during the weekend, and the Heir was hoping they'd talk about what market numbers ended at for the past week (they didn't).  But they were clearly using forced obsolescence to intimidate people who still write checks to resort to e-signatures instead.  The way the Heir knows this is when the guy on the radio said something to the effect that people who still write checks do so "because of inertia."  The guy couldn't bring himself to say what he likely really meant, that people who write checks somehow have no good reason for doing so.  He probably couldn't say that, because the great check writers of America would tear him a new one for the personal reasons *they* have for writing checks, and only using online payments in case of emergency.  Those personal reasons would include a strong adherence to tradition and principle.  The reason why the Heir connects this to the Coronacrisis is because forced obsolescence in the 2010s was highly tied to personal corruption, which lulled society into a hubristic false sense of security, and made us vulnerable to things like the Coronacrisis.  Now why would a business minute on the radio issue an editorial in all but name?  The Heir believes it's the influence big tech's marketing consulting firms have on the media, that they put pressure on the media to do some of big tech's advertising for them, and mostly certainly the real dickish stuff they couldn't ever place in an actual formal advertisement.  It's a form of misinformation, and the Heir was hoping that the great fact checkers of the world would pick it up.  But they're not casting a wide enough net.  So between the lockdown protestors and a continuation of a campaign of forced obsolescence on audio, here's the question the Heir has for the entire world: if we don't learn anything from the current crisis, will we ever?  It's just not a good sign for humanity.

"They say that when we get through all this, we'll be stronger than ever.  Looks more like we'll be *stupider* than ever."
