I had a revelation on my walk home from BART today. The world doesn’t need more technology, or inventions, or even (sadly) more engineering as much as it needs more reasonable, good-hearted, generous people. Technologically, we have the tools to pretty much create whatever life we want for ourselves. Hunger and poverty only continue to exist because of people’s choices (governments, religions, etc.), not a lack of human capability to produce enough food or create enough wealth. That’s both depressing and exciting. The problem is now of our own making, but that means a solution (of our own making) should, at the very least, exist.
