Re: Primitivism

Even if we knew the nature of all our problems, we couldn't solve them—only change them. Then we would have new problems that we didn't understand. A century passes while we come to understand them, but still we can't solve them—again, only change them.

For this is the way it has been with us. We don't solve problems—we change them to new problems. It is a vicious cycle, a Pandora's box, for the new problems are always somehow more numerous than the old ones, and more complicated. Things seem to grow gradually worse and more complex the more we solve problems. For we don't solve them, only change them.

How do we get out? How?
