We're grown-ups who like to push little wooden men around on a board. Some of them look like "horsies" for crying out loud. As to solving the major problems of humanity -- humanity is totally incapable of solving them. Does not mean we should not try, but we do need to be realistic. Famous quote: "Those who do not learn from their mistakes are condemmed to repeat them." For at least 5000 years, mankind has been recoding what he has been doing in writing. What (exactly) have we learned in all this time? The good news is, while we are busy figuring out how to shuffle little wooden men around on a board, we can't be designing ways to blow each other up faster at the same time.
