Time for a Major Rethink

Many stories, articles and events continue to convince me to believe we humans need a massive think-tank to rethink about where we are going. It is so silly to me that we have people arguing about the science of climate change, when a fifth-grader can figure our its happening. But instead of doing something about it we become paralyzed by politics and economics. In so many ways we possess the means to repair our messes, but we argue about the solutions, the problems fester and rot into irreperable quagmires. In so many ways life is better than it has ever been. Our conveniences number in the hundreds, from instant gratification to complete forms of information to access to some of the best health care in history. Yet, when it comes to addressing what we can see will be major roadblocks to our way of life, we cannot reach any sort of consensus. I think we need a way to use all the tools at our disposal to get better access to the political process, to stop the process of trying to solve new problems with old solutions.

We have the tools, now we need to develop our minds to use them!
