The System's Greatest Enemy

As a system thinker, we learn that the system is its own greatest enemy. The united states is its own worst enemy. We create all our own problems. Nobody else is creating the problems. It's very important to start to understand that because otherwise we're gong to be stuck pointing our fingers outside of where the problems are. System thinking also means that there are no easy solutions - brute force violent, disruptive changes will backfire on you.
