If there's one thing I'm asking of my friends these days, it's to recognize that we are in a new era & that the old assumptions and instrumentation are obsolete.

That's true of climate, it's true of government & the world order, & it's true of technology. Let's not be those generals rushing into WW1 with swords in plumed helmets. Let's be smart, because circumstances have changed since we formed our first ideas about the world. We can't get to work until we let go of our continuity bias.
