Surprised you haven’t got more response to this. It’s very timely. Anyhow for what it’s worth the one thing the ‘B’ school clearly don’t understand that the last thing the world needs right now is more pessimism. Oh yeah, and more idle armchair cynicism and knocking of all those who are trying to solve the world’s interconnected cluster of urgent problems while we’re about it in order to buy time, as you say, for more philosophical reflection. If some of these people had lived in the middle of World War II they’d probably have been Spitfire skeptics.
