But then everything has to fall apart before we can create something better, or so I like to think, So I like to hope.
I wonder if this is true. I think it is a common belief of course and I probably think it also, but it is like the economy where "it has to fail" but I don't think it does - at least at the scale it does. It is just bad design that we keep supporting. Nature is the model of a perfect economy - it can't fail. It just changes.
