I agree, and I'll push it a bit further. Not long ago, the systemic failures were features not bugs. Of course, only a limited few could benefit, but that was a feature too. The entire public and private economies were structured to bend to the will of the 0.01%. Now, that crowd is baffled by how we got here, and wants to be at the front of the line for help when needed -- again! We screwed up and allowed it last time. Let's do better this time.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
