Me too. And around election time in particular I get very despondent at the level of discourse. We just don’t seem able to grasp the truly huge challenges and make meaningful responses to them our top priority.
Why would we consider anything long term when an election cycle is only 3 years? Surely the most important thing is the politicians getting elected? /S
Our current systems really do a crap job of encouraging long term thinking. It frustrates me that even good policies (like free dental care for young people) get delayed just so there are more talking points done election time.
