When you have to start all over again

Do you not think things are moving fast enough? Let’s have a look. In an article in The Atlan­tic maga­zine, Patrick Col­li­son and Michael Niel­sen come to the conclu­sion that des­pite mas­sive invest­ments in dol­lars and time, science is not achie­ving the desi­red results. Here’s what I think, and care­ful, I have no boundaries.

First, the Sys­tem (yes, again, but take some time to go and look at my defi­ni­tion of the Sys­tem) does not neces­sa­ri­ly need science, or wha­te­ver it is, to improve. In fact, no, that’s false. The Sys­tem will always favour our faults. The easy solu­tion or the one that gives us plea­sure will always be the favou­red path to take. Deli­cious dishes that we order without having to pre­pare them, giving and recei­ving satis­fac­tion with the smal­lest amount of effort. If a pro­blem can be remo­ved more easi­ly than it would be to solve it, why bother? Sex on demand, pho­to fil­ters that flat­ter our vani­ty and sto­ries from social net­works that push us towards a cer­tain appea­rance, even going so far as to lie to eve­ryone, and often to ourselves.

In his Theo­ry Of Moral Sen­ti­ments, Adam Smith des­cri­bed that our empa­thy is qui­ck­ly redu­ced by inter­per­so­nal dis­tance. We’ve let our­selves go, and get­ting back into shape to deal with the pro­blems of the 21st cen­tu­ry is going to hurt a lot.
