What one considers a "big problem" depends on your values (i.e. where you want society to go and how you want it to get there). From my perspective, many of the "big" problems are just that because they are the result of complex dynamics and structural challenges that cannot easily be solved by one actor (organization / business / government). Many of these problems are so-called collective action problems. If you are able to get enough funding and a strong team, that may not be enough: you need more than technical chops to move the system enough to make a difference! P.S. I'm glad this topic is getting some air-time!
