At this moment in time I tend to say that #mankind is too busy to solve wicked problems. More #reflection, out of the box #thinking, and shedding ourselves of the #dogma's that the "1984 Brave new world" emergent vicious spiral is continuously imprinting on us, so we talk in #Newspeak to each other. Or just have no time, or lack #attention and #patience to #listen. MUST. CHANGE. WORLD.
That way, those who want to make a difference are "Lost in the World". Like many of us in world-improving fedi crowds, including me, sometimes feel.
However we have to keep positive and muster optimistic mindset, and make #progress. Sitting down and giving up is simply no option, guarantees defeat. Unless we have no other choice, because life interferes, or we burnt our privilege in this unsustainable #grassroots environment, end of "FOSS burn cycle" in case of open #technology development.
#SteveCutts and #Moby express it perfectly in this aptly-named music video.

You are right. It is flawed. Happens on the quick-toot modern timeline of our time :)
But this is also emergent design: experiment, test, improve in short cycles.
Another attempt at platitude then. Then it is up to others to counter-platitude me again :D
