If you have a hammer, every problem is a nail.

The problem is you have software developers who think the solution is to
write more code.  Write another protocol.  Write a new framework.  Its
what they CAN do.

What you see needing to be done, is based on what your profession is.
Its inheritly biased.  Ask those in finance what needs to be done to fix
society, and you'll get a financial solution.  Ask a priest, they'll say
its spiritial.  Ask a hipster hacker, and they'll think its some AI or
framework or some platform.
