I think this is a symptom of all the 'technical debt' we have as a society/species in law, morals and other 'difficult' things.
That quote about the future (It's already here - just not evenly distributed) is a good description of the situation.
There's going to be a war (its sort of already started), hopefully we can come out the other end ready to innovate again. Right now it is too dangerous to share some technologies (for example how to harness nuclear energy) so it puts a hamper on innovation.
Basically we're starting to reach our moral limits in more fields meaning we need better morals before we can continue.

Information complexity may simply be an obstacle that cannot be overcome. At higher energy levels technical and societal change may simply be too dangerous, and to survive long term societies must lock themselves into a steady state where innovation is actively quashed.
- openfuture 11y agoWell that sucks. But when faced with problems the only option is to find a solution.
- iamcurious 11y agoWhat war are you referring to? and where has it sort of started?
