It seems incredible in the past. In the future, it'll seem incredible what we are doing today. And so I've been trying to develop a hierarchical set of considerations about why societies fail to solve their problems -- why they fail to perceive the problems or, if they perceive them, why they fail to tackle them. Or, if they tackle them, why do they fail to succeed in solving them?
Izgleda nevjerojatno kad se radi o prošlosti. U budućnosti izgleda nevjerojatno to što danas radimo. Pokušavam razviti hijerarhijski skup razloga zbog kojih društva ne uspijevaju riješiti svoje probleme. Zašto ne uspiju uvidjeti probleme, ili ako ih uvide, zašto se ne uspiju suočiti s njima? Ili, ako uspiju sa suočavanjem, zašto ih ne uspiju riješiti?
