The impossibility of consequential theories leads to impossible professional processes like planning programming and budgeting, and political systems such as communism that assume rational planning can correctly direct a whole human society. As a result of these theories used well beyond their practical limitations, reforms are created that cannot work and professionals and political leaders must face the consequences of trying to do the impossible. The result in society is massive frustration, disillusionment, and cynicism as professional and political leaders discover the realities of applying finite reasoning processes to infinite challengers.
