People have no understanding of the scale of our dilemma.

The understanding is there, it's just not widely distributed; wouldn't you agree?
In the 1970s Fuller proposed a World Game, to 'war game' our way to what he called Livingry (as opposed to weaponry). The problem was that the infrastructure wasn't adequate. Then when gaming came along that short-sighted focus you point to led us to first-person shooters and Grand Theft Auto. And Pokemon Go.
His Synergetics never achieved prominence. The world went on to String Theory, Dark matter and Dark Energy. All of which have come up dry.
Now comes Quantum Gravity Theory.

My understanding is poor, but it appears to be coming at Synergetics from a different angle. The both arise from the cuboctahedron/vector equilibrium and reduce to vector and angle. The archetype is an eight-dimensional figure called the Gosset polytope. It 'contains' all the sub-atomic particles and fields, but potentially has others as yet undiscovered.
When someone
gamifys Quantum Gravity we could see some progress.
