““Our environment has changed so that the correlations we relied upon in the environment of evolutionary adaptation no longer obtain. This makes it so that our hardwired problem-solving routines, rather than producing answers that are approximately correct, will increasingly provide answers that are exactly wrong. Furthermore, a number of our social institutions encourage this tendency. Doing something to counteract this trend is a political problem of the first degree. Unfortunately, many of our political institutions, far from providing anything like a solution, have become a significant part of the problem.””
