I am as appalled as anyone at the poor response of supposed well-run countries. In hindsight, the lost years are unbelievable. However, it is quite hard to guess what will be the next catastrophe. I personally believe we will experience another nuclear disaster in the next 10-15 years. People will be wondering why after Fukushima it was still possible to be so unprepared. But maybe it will be something else altogether, like a huge solar storm. Our human short-term view was a boon during our civilization early development, but as the world get inherently more complex and intertwined, our culture need to really change, or it will come back to bite us quite fiercely.
