Perhaps the Blockchain could solve that for us. Clearly people that deal with harder questions should be rewarded more. That would create a real incentive for people to start taking care of things instead of the corrupt system we have been using. Since it's based on math more and is depended on the community with trust and reputation it may actually work to solve most of the issues we see today.
One thing is for sure we will communicate a lot more in the future and share information. Eventually we will come up with better solutions since humans are deeply kind. One major issue is with large countries that communication becomes flawed if you don't create a solid tribe. Having a tribe of 300 million people is impossible to manage. It needs to be split up in smaller groups. But we are starting to see that now online with Blockchain which is really exciting.
Communication in the end is key to all. But then you truly need to amp up those trust levels and make people know each other. Or they will not talk to each other. There is sacrifice of time and attention involved in processes like this. And it creates a stronger network that can become super stable in the long run. Building solid relationships is what needs to be done again. If we are not increasing trust levels then we are wasting our time.
