With more data and info flowing its getting more and more obvious how bad we are at handling complexity. That evidence is going to keep accumulating.
How people deal with that fact (or dont) is important.
The current response/reaction to that, is to blame/replace leaders/find false messiahs/feel good narratives/distractions etc but all that doesn't reduce complexity.
It doesn't require everyone to agree on what our collective and individual limitations are but just to focus on limitations of those we don't like.
Its a trap and what the theory says is it wont matter what people do in response to crisis when they are stuck in that trap.
Orgs do a bunch of things to create conditions where groups/factions don't get carried away by blindness to their own limitations. If you are interested in the subject start with Herbert Simon's books.
