As humans, we live with the fact that while we are capable of building advanced societies and achieving incredible things, we are far from perfect. As the dominant species on the planet we have solved a lot of problems, but often in ways that have resulted in the creation of more.
From environmental damage to food shortages, inequalities in access to healthcare and education, and the ever-growing spread of misinformation and propaganda, it is clear we have a long way to go, and perhaps little time left to get there.
Yet I believe that while human progress and domination of the planet might have caused or exacerbated many of these problems, our capacity for innovation offers our best hope of salvation.
