> Climate experts talk a lot about “cathedral thinking.” It’s the idea of working towards long term goals — like a medieval cathedral. These goals require vision, shared commitment, and decades, even centuries, of planning. The planners and builders don’t live to see the end product, but future generations reap the rewards. We're living in the MBA/enshittification society where its all about pumping next quarters numbers to dump the stock and profit, even if it ruins the company in the long run. These are the kinds of leaders that we're the best in the world at producing. EDIT: I forgot a shout-out to regulatory capture and rent seeking behavior that makes it difficult to get anything done at all.
