| OP here- I am hoping for some funny, unexpected answers but still relevant to the question. |

Let me elaborate: I'm a scientist in biology. I believe that human brains have not evolved much beyond their hunter-gatherer days. They are still small-tribe animals, who see strangers as inherently hostile if they do not appear to have what they perceive as important traits in common (a religion, or ethnic origin, or skin color, or value system). They still carry a scarcity mindset which leads them to hoard material goods when they can and fight over property. Being small-tribe animals, they operate under a social-dominance system, in which communication for solving problems is paramount and preference is naturally given to the perceived strongest and loudest. Thus not all human beings are treated as equals, and property extends to include human beings, if not in law, at least in practice. The weakest are always exploited. What's changed over millenia is that human ability to invent has gotten way ahead of their hunter-gatherer mindset. And they can't deal with that. Social media and artificial intelligence can and should be wonderful tools for good, but the system of dominance and exploitation described above turns them into supremely efficient tools for aggression and abuse. I'm not sure the outlook is rosy. We need global laws and enforcement against disinformation in the cybersphere, and some world leaders are actively trying to sabotage that. |

| Lack of skilled workforce in the caring professions - - things like eldercare, aides for people with disabilities. Results in a system that forces family members (usually women) to fill in the gap. |

This. As a species we are becoming incredibly stupid. It is at all levels and so pervasive there is little hope for mankind. |
