I recently saw an interview with Elon Musk, where he described the philosophy behind why he does what he does. It is encapsulated within the story of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by the English writer, Douglas Adams.
I wholeheartedly agree with the statement that we must go back to the past and reeducate ourselves on problems solved and questions asked. Fortunately for humanity there is in the UK a remarkable paper trail to go back to for research. Unfortunately, for our future selves going back to today to analyze, we will be met with far too much data, some relevant and some wholly inaccurate, we will be drowning in data, while parched for insights.

The UK's biggest problem is moralization. Believing in itself. We lost the search for the riddle and that was our downfall.
