I think the essay is meant to be a thought provoking piece, not a how-to guide.

"My goal in writing these essays is not because I know the solutions to some of the most complex problems that we face — I don’t — but because I think that we need to start thinking about these puzzles sideways, upside down, and from non-Euclidean spaces"


I think society would be in a much better place if people conceptualized the ides in this article and held them close to heart. I may be a cynic, but I feel even this piece, long on question and short on answers is full of thoughts that many people never consider. And certainly not to the degree that they should.
