Rationally irrational...
Mission to moon or mars are defining moments in mankind’s history and also highlights the inner quest to conquer the world. When we have solved problems of such magnitude (mission to Moon & Mars), how is it that we are still grappling with basic issues? We have advanced enough to understand whether Mars has life & water, however our planet is still facing severe water crisis. We have solved complex AI algorithm, but the world is facing climate change issues. The questions ought to be asked is, when we can solve complex problems, why are we not able to solve some basic problems affecting our planet?
We are trying to understand if life exists in another planet, however there are places in earth where there is life but kids are malnourished and don’t have basic standards of living
We are talking of artificial intelligence, augmented reality, machine learning, however a small material like plastic (and its disposal) still bothers us
We are trying to understand human genome and make medicines personal; however we still don’t have answer to small infection which kills thousands of kids every year?
There are lot of these contrasts and one wonders, when man can solve so many advance problems, why are these basic problems still affecting us?
Governments across the globe allocate budgets, try to improve economy; corporates also spend a lot on CSR, however world still has some very basic problems?
When man can go to different planet and understand their problem, then why can’t we solve our small miseries??

5 年I believe its due to perceptions. We celebrate people who create new and yes life changing things........ because we take basics like eating, breathing, drinking etc for granted and we dont in general even take the effort of celebrating those who create basic and life sustaining things. Sad truth.
