Skepticism About Smart

Jerry Michalski posts in Rexpedition about his skepticism regarding the smarter world of things.   I like to hear the other side.  I am not as skeptical, but based on my own experiences, know enough to be cautious and distinctly practical.  Jerry's experiences and thoughts about  'Navigating massive change ... ' are also worth following.  We used as a useful consultant in the enterprise a number of times.
