This is something I think about a lot. We have societal issues with critical severity that are effectively marked WONTFIX. The latest innovation in consumer tech is only going to feel more and more absurd.
I think about the state of the world every day.<p>I feel that especially computer science has tought my brains ways of simplifying and therefore understanding complex systems. The world is obviously complex, but the more information you gather, the clearer the image becomes of total and massive changes that are incoming.<p>We need a new ism - not communism, not capitalism. Something new, better, something addressing the huge cultural, political, technological, biological problems we face.<p>Thoughts?
