Deep dives

The importance of problem-solving relationships in civilization

Problem-solving relationships, whether in personal or societal contexts, play a crucial role in enhancing civilization. Such relationships, based on consent and collaboration, amplify the collective capacity for creativity and progress. The institutions of science, economics, and politics, while imperfect, form the foundation of our civilization. However, threats can arise if fads or ideologies emerge that deny or undermine the values of the Enlightenment. It is essential to recognize the value of personal freedoms and the institutions of consent that have fostered progress and human flourishing.
