Perhaps the problem is that these things do not have definitive answers. Reality is extremely complex, with many interfacing chaotic systems. Why would we expect a single answer to work in every instance? What if there isn't a perfect

I don't think this is new at all. The specifics might be new, but the problem is quite old, and has been with us for thousands of years. I think the danger is in trying to come up with an abstract, general solution for it. I don&#x27
