Society

That's you! No, that's us!

Is society run on money?

In a society that currently revolves mainly around money and has been made completely performance-oriented, we lack a common goal. Has a direction been chosen at all? Or do we blindly run in any direction until we hit our head somewhere and nature has to whistle us back with "natural disasters"?

Complexity needs a good fundament of understanding

The Tower of Babel nicely illustrates how an ever higher (and more complex) tower has an increasing risk of growing crooked and collapsing. The foundation is old, poorly maintained or forgotten and in some places even rotten. Anyone who sees and feels the system rattling at the bottom, but far up there is nothing to see but blue sky and sunshine. But the higher you fly, the greater the fall.

Can we save the tower? Stabilize in time? We will see. What we can do anyway is solve small manageable problems and gain insight.
