In all seriousness, here is the hard question we collectively face:

will our institutions and infrastructure survive things getting worse until they get better?

That's part of what's being asked by https://www.gatesnotes.com/home/home-page-topic/reader/a-tur... which I find most useful not for its analysis or suggestions, but for the fact that is advancing the need for discourse around risk and devising—quickly—a process for having that dialog.

What that process is supposed to be, who is to have a seat, how decisions madehave teeth of any kind are not any clearer than the primary question, how are we to collectively manage risk.

"May you be born in messy times." A curse if there ever was one.
