Engineering/STEM training doesn't have what is required to fix such problems. So they have to get involved with multi-disciplinary groups or nothing useful will ever get built that actually fixes things.
This is why lot of people within tech/science circles feel lost and defensive about their work. They barely understand anything about the humanities/social sciences.
Consciousness of what is missing is increasing slowly, thanks to the info tsunami the internet has unleashed.
But that info delivery architecture relies on pseudo experts and celebs whose survival depends on collecting views, and is delivered to the mind in such random order, with high levels of over stimulation and noise, that it creates even more confusion.
What's missing?
No foundations in Philosophy. No idea where Value Systems come from. No idea how they are maintained - learn - adapt to change. No idea why all religious systems train their priests in some form of "Pastoral Care" involving constant contact with ordinary people and their suffering.
So the Vatican survives the fall of nations/empires/plagues/economic downturns/reformation/enlightenment/pedo scandals etc but science/engineering orgs look totally helpless reacting to systemic shocks and go running to Legal/HR/PR people for help.
That's at the org level. At the individual level, most tech folk pretend the limitations/divisions of their own brain/mind don't exist and have no impact on what they build. There is no awareness of what Plato/Hume/Freud/Kahneman have to say about it and how those divisions of the non united mind and denial of it effect what gets built. And since the article mentions systems running at different speed think about the electrical and chemical signaling in your own mind. Are they happening at the same speed?
So don't try to work all this out by yourself. Multi-disciplinary groups are our only hope. If the org is filled with only engineers, history already shows us how the story unfolds.
