human society are filled with problems. They always have been and they always will be. It may strike many people as simplistic to note this, but I think that in this seemingly mundane observation is hidden a more fundamental question: why is this so? Why has it been so hard for humans to create a reality that isn't saturated with difficulties? Why is human life so messy, so confusing, so hard to understand, and so hard to manage? Why are humans so utterly split on questions of ultimate truth? Why is there no consensus whatsoever about what a genuinely good world would look like? Why are so many humans plagued with psychological difficulties and a sense that life is a continuous uphill struggle (quite apart from issues of ill health or material deprivation)? To me, the examination of the nature of human reality and the circumstances surrounding it begins with such questions.
