'Solutionism' for me is, above all, an unthinking pursuit of perfection - by means of technology - without coming to grips with the fact that imperfection is an essential feature of liberal democracy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Saying you have a political solution is like saying you can write a pop song that's going to stay at the top of the list forever. I don't have many illusions about this, but I'm not cynical about it.
I don't like talking about 'solutions.' I prefer talking about intelligent responses.
The chief cause of problems is solutions.
When it comes to the fundamental issues that humanity faces, I think that solutions involve shifting consciousness towards cooperation.
Every solution breeds new problems.
We live in a world that is full of problems, and we are the solutions to those problems.
Democracy is finding proximate solutions to insoluble problems.
To find ways of practicing democracy, not ways of orating about it, is our great problem.
We like to think we can solve everything, but we can't always.
The only solutions that are ever worth anything are the solutions that people find themselves.
