shakespeare

i thinketh our problem is not intelligence

no

nor wickedness alone

no

we buildeth systems from small decisions

yes

and then the systems rewardeth the decisions that keep the systems alive

yes

even when the purpose hath vanished

yes

and each person inside may behave reasonably while the whole behaveth like a concussed dragon

preciselyeth

then humanity is not stupid

not individually

that is somehow worse

a littleeth

horatio
then how doth we fixeth it

see the whole

who seeth the whole

nobody completely

then listeneth to many

they disagree

change the incentives

the winners resisteth

change the institutions

the institutions administereth the change

use technology

technology inheriteth the incentives

what then

keep asking who benefiteth, who payeth, what dependeth upon what, and whether the purpose still existeth

that is not a solution

no

it is a beginningeth
