What has truly stagnated is our ability to propose and collaborate on new and better systems - new political, governmental, financial, social, etc. the broken ones hold fast to protect themselves like a fortifying parasite, while the competition dies out or trails it’s ability to ‘catch up’ - it’s too slow.

Definitely progress on the fringes and in small pockets - yet it’s worth pondering for a while why the above happened and what’s next?

I link it to broken systems where incentives are wrong and bad entities have armour and too big to fail properties, the fact the system’s own protection mechanism largely sits on top of being too large + complex + intertwined for any alternative approach’s adoption strategy to be cost or time effective.

Coupled with a significant over bloated legal system that makes much of what could be innovated gray or illegal - an example being private communities and roadblocks to their experimentation and existence.

My pain point is the effort and time to exhaust these horribly conceived systems is now a frame of centuries - when it could (read: should) be decades. During the past few hundred years - it was only decades… and we’ve since built a nightmare that refuses to evolve.
