The risk I'm talking about is trying new things that move civilization forward. That is the risk-taking that prevents stagnation.

Can you share what risks we could take that would move civilization forward in a meaningful way that provides benefits?

  • Some people think technology (like automation and AI) will somehow do the trick, making each workers much more productive. Of course, such technologies tend to lower the prices of goods and services, just like industrialization did. And ultimately, such technology will spread quickly, reducing whatever competitive edge this was supposed to provide.
