“We have evolved in a very unbalanced way. We have extraordinary technology. We have extraordinary power. We can influence the world in incredible ways, both on large scale and on microscale. We can set off nuclear bombs all around the world and alter the weather, we can alter the genetic structure, we can alter the dynamics of evolution itself. That's extraordinary power, and it seems to me that with power has to go wisdom, and there's no evidence at all that, particularly collectively, we have any wisdom at all. In fact, you might argue that social systems, human systems, the systems which are exercising this power institutionally, are if anything more blind than they ever were. Certainly they are not more intelligent. This has always seemed to me a profound problem, like giving the child a bigger and bigger hammer but no maturity to go with it.” Peter Senge https://www.presencing.org/aboutus/theory-u/leadership-interview/peter_senge
