This sounds like a fascinating book; thanks for making me aware of it. Re: politicians not having good foresight, I constantly remind my high school students of Thomas Sowell's observation, "There are no solutions, only tradeoffs."

Very true. That’s one of the great lessons I learned from Sowell as well. So simple, yet so profound. Only math offers solutions; everything else is tradeoffs.

Love the depth of insight about our thinking!
Absolutely! Thanks for reading!

LOL. That’s hilarious.
