5. We’ve got more power than we think
"Having all the wealth and technology in the world doesn’t matter if we don’t have the wisdom to use it in the right manner. Early in my career, I bought into the notion, espoused by science-fiction author William Gibson, that all cultural change is driven by technology.
I’ve now witnessed enough of both technological and social change to understand that the reverse is also—and perhaps more often—true."
