This (taken from some random Discord if I remember correctly) might be a little simplistic in some cases. And perhaps it even plays into the more ludicrous conspiracy theories around the WEF. Nonetheless it remains a constant source of astonishment to me how many big and important problems humanity at least has a good idea of how to solve but seemingly chooses not to.

For the most part I suspect that comes more from us having inadvertently created structures such that we are disincentivised from doing so - especially at the individual level. Rather than, for instance, pure malice.
