I disagree with the specifics (eg music doesn't "objectively suck," that's an oxymoron) but I think we're directionally on the same page. I have a similar hypothesis I call "The Complexity Crisis," which is that our willingness to create new systems and to expand existing ones outpaces our ability to manage that complexity. Leading to a constellation of seemingly independent crises (eg, the climate crisis, financial crises, armed conflicts, ...).
- SV_BubbleTime 3y agoI was thinking about this. Our city just spent $45 million a bridge and wants to change it around some one way streets which means new signage, parking, and a few lights at a cost of $20 million. Basically for all good reasons of safety and codes and bla, we can’t even make roads and bridges in a sustainable way. There isn’t going to be a “solution” to the housing crisis because it will never cost less to build a house. It’s not like the 1960s where you can do it, you need permits and specialists and etc. How is my city going to do anything about the homeless when it costs $20 million to change the direction of a few streets? A willingness to expand systems is an interesting idea.
