WOW!
Fundamental systemic reboots are possible, with astounding results.
It is all too easy to slip into the comforting belief that what we currently have is unquestionably enduring and perfect. Just because we do not know any better does not mean we should just accept what we have, and not bother … innovating!
Rebooting capitalism for example – the current system is clearly flawed and dangerous. Can we improve on it? Rewrite its rules of engagement to suit this age?
Of course we can. The big question is: dare we press the reset button? Do we have the will to make that choice? Or do we just limp on and try not to think of what’s coming?
