Thank You for what you do! Understand the question regarding industry is only one component in a larger context. But I think the following, still-larger context is important, and relates to your question, if considerably downstream. Think a better question is: As exponentially accelerating complexity accrues, yielding unprecedented options, as well as climate change and myriad other potentially civilization-ending problems, how do we align cultural selection with natural selection? Think our manner reality interface at the level of culture requires redomaining over reform. Redomaining is used by Brian Arthur to describe major changes in tech. Electricity was a redomaining of power generation from steam power; eukaryote cells were a redomaining of cellular tech from prokaryote cells; railroads were a redomaining of bulk shipping from boat & canals. Think we need to redomain our cultural genome, the coding structures (tech) culture use for its reality interface. There is historical precedent, like this: In the transition from simple hunter-gatherer social structures to the exponentially more complex information architecture of city-states, we added writing, legal, etiquette, and monetary coding structures to our cultural genome. In other words, we added coding infrastructure, information-processing culture tech, for our relationship interface with a new, more complex reality. Think we need to do that again, and that the efficacy of monetary code, like much of religious code, has been greatly reduced by accelerating complexity. While not a wholly congruent analogy, think this is helpful regarding the reach, i.e., the speed, accuracy, power of humans processing complex network relationship information using monetary code: Software code is to monetary code as alphabet code was to pictograph code.
