So here's the thing: the idea that we should "think more" doesn't do much for me.
You won't find many people that disagree with the idea that we should "think harder", because the opposite stance ("we should think less!") is absurd, but, just because something sounds reasonable doesn't mean it's useful. "Think more" sounds a lot like "raise awareness" to me, which might as well be rephrased as "feel good about ourselves for recognizing reality without actually having to do anything"
The thing about society-changing events like this is that the result of "think more" generally ends up being "well, it's inevitable, but it's going to suck for a lot of people". Kudos for your awareness, but that extra "think about it" step doesn't do a lot, does it?
