       @alexjgriffith I think it's a problem for humanity as a whole to be honest. We've been accumulating knowledge at an exponential pace since language was invented, but our capacity to understand and act on that knowledge hasn't grown.This is how we ended up with the climate catastrophe. The consequences of our actions are happening on a scale beyond our intuitive understanding.
