I hope one outcome of this crisis is that people start caring about who they are electing as their leaders.
As Yuval Noah said, we are in the middle of the worst modern crisis this world has seen and we have global leaders that can't inspire, organize and finance a coordinated global response.

- pas 7y agoThe cost-benefit was not there. It was simply not worth it to take the necessary hard actions to reach a level of difference in preparedness on a group level. (Basically it would mean that anyone who wanted to "protect themselves" would have to strategically move to one place, buy land, organize, coordinate, get politically active, etc. It's a long and costly project. Usually only sects and religions have the capacity to carry out things like this.)
