> while doing nothing tangible to address the real issues
Doing things to solve the real issues would run into difficult real-world problems both symbolic and logistical/physical. Overcoming them require having conversations where people
1. Do creative problem-solving
2. Say “well, actually...” about practical implementation details.
3. Speak honestly about the real difficulties and risks of unintended consequences.
4. Admit to failure and error and even inattention.
All of which is blocked by similar social dynamics to the ones discussed in the article.
