A world that works is not some kind of master plan for how I hope to recreate the world in my own image. It is a kind of elusive goal, something we work toward, because if we simply work without a goal in mind, we could end up anywhere. We may well end up worse than where we started.
No individual can create a world that works. The world is too complex for that. But if we work toward that goal, then we can help it emerge from the complexity.
