    If we can agree that the current system is Bad, then we can work towards a solution.

    ehh, just that things are bad does not mean that they can be made better. consider natural disasters, even if you can evacuate the population before the flood, houses will still be destroyed. you can only mitigate it, not completely solve it. same is for the modern age, i guess. work still had to be done, work sucks -> things suck somehow.

      I don’t think natural disasters are a great metaphor. I mean, even as you say you can do some stuff to mitigate flooding.

      Often, in the scenario I was describing, it feels like they just accept the flood as inevitable and don’t want to do anything. Build no walls. Dig no drainage. No evacuation. Someone wants to build a dam, and they’re just like “walls?? Like a prison??”
