That's a really careless and thoughtless opinion, and it completely dismisses the complexity of human organizational decision making.

- tormeh 9y agoOTOH, it is a problem that can't be solved with aid. Whether you pity them or not, you have no real choice other than to watch the catastrophe happen.
- blunte 9y agoThe only real solution, imo (obviously) requires generations of effort and education. You have to instill within the people a sense of importance of collective good and shared responsibility. It seems that lack of shared responsibility is what causes many of the problems in that region. I wouldn't say it has anything to do with religion, but I find it a bit curious that Bali (which has a very different religion than the rest of Indonesia) seems to have a bit more of a sense of shared responsibility. Or maybe their religious followings dictate more activities that happen to benefit the general population. Still, though, it's a bit of a mess by other standards. And still, I would happily be back in Bali during the European winters.
