I am positive we will be able to find technological solutions, but I am very skeptical if we can find social solutions. Generating society consensus on how to react on change might be the most important todo.


I'm not quite so skeptical. We don't need consensus, we "just" need political action. 50% + 1. Extremely difficult, but not impossible.


Looking at the violent protests of a minority in France, it seems a 50%+1 majority is no guarantee for a stable society.

Finding a political majority is only one mandatory step. More relevant will be to create a stable support in the citizenry.
