Time ^22h5sd4P
Technological capability and social complexity ^w57VpTna
wisdom gap ^tGiCFvR5
The Wisdom Gap ^rmGyg4da
Note: the exact trajectories of these curves may differ. The key point is that the gap is growing.
For example, in this version, wisdom is growing but more slowly than our complexity.
But perhaps wisdom is actually declining. In which case, the gap is growing even faster. ^9JMyOVpk
"Wisdom" e.g. our capacity to manage that complexity) ^iTHcA90t
