Bottom-up versus top-down solutionnizing
I don’t know if Obama looks at it this way, but I thought about his message of hope and cooperation while reading this passage:
“The problem is simple. The underlying assumption is that we can help solve the world’s big problems by putting a bunch of interesting people in a room and talking about stuff.
We can’t.
In fact, exactly the opposite is true. The way we can solve the world’s problems by involving the people who are suffering as an essential part of a living, evolving solution.”
