6. The Law of Self-Effacing Solutions:

Once a solution has been achieved, people forget about the original problem (and only see further problems).

  • Progress often masks its own challenges, leading us to overlook the severity of original problems.
  • Every solution creates new issues, but if they're less severe, it's deemed progress.
  • Chemotherapy, though harsh, is far better than untreated cancer. Similarly, calls to "defund the police" overlook their role in reducing violence.
  • Lockdowns during Covid caused hardship, but they prevented greater suffering by curbing the virus's spread
