@dankwraith Ultimately the failing here is that people as whole will readily adopt rapid changes to society when it is seen as progress (200 years ago we not only didn’t have iPhones but were still using horses as a primary means of fast transport), but are far too ponderous about making changes that are essentially downgrades, even when such downgrades are empirically the only way to preserve society against an existential threat looming only a few generations downstream.
