Thanks for reading all of that and for an interesting analysis of post. I was compelled to reread what I had written so that I could decide how your analysis fits with what I wrote. When I mentioned smart I was trying to say that humans have the capacity to solve problems by identifying their causes and designing workable solutions. Resilient in this context was intended to mean that even when we fail to understand a problem to the extent that we can design a solution we manage to stumble into a situation where we are able to survive even if that means we ignore the problem and just move to more hospitable environs. I agree that choosing resilience can mean always taking the easy way without ever addressing a problem or trying to understand why you had to change and that it does have serious downstream consequences for society and civilization. We have to accept the challenge of solving hard problems by working together or we will inevitably continue to load all the bad consequences on those groups least equipped to deal with them.
