The fact that a problem is a wicked problem does not justify inaction, in my opinion.
I’ve had (stupid) friends argue that because income inequality is a wicked problem, we should do away with a social safety net for the poor.
Obviously we can’t this issue 100 per cent, but the difference in trying to solve it is better quality of life, lessened crime, happier populace, more people ready for work, and lower mortality rate.
It’s great to identify something as a Wicked problem, but that should never stop you from attempting to solving it.
