9-11 The bottom-line root-level solution that has worked in the past

This will be a bit blunt, and some tough people won't like to hear it. But one cannot solve a problem by dealing with the wrong problem.
The "9/11" decade's commemoration ongoing today reminds me that the 2001 fracas was an example of the extremes gone to show how deeply the human mind is related to the same root as the monkey mind's kind of motives. Clearly the fracas demonstrates that we are not nearly as advanced a species as we like to proclaim in the classroom. Only the degree of cleverness and tool-using capacity surpasses that of the chimp mind, but the motivation part is too much the same. Call a spade a spade, and move on from there, best possible.

It is doubtful the perpetrators crashed the planes just because they were bored and did not have anything better to do that day; therefore it had a purpose, and most likely that was to do exactly what it achieved, to bait America into throwing its wealth away waging a historically unwinable place of war in the desert mountains in a far away land, at a vastly greater cost to America than merely rebuilding the towers, putting out "wanted" posters, and beefing up security would have cost.

That the World Trade Center towers were chosen to be the first to be hit, in a series of hits done not knowing how rapid America's defense would catch up, and considering that the Trade Center was a major symbol of the economy, not that of government, points out that it was primarily an economy fight, not an ego or "religious" fight, despite first appearances.

That kind of baiting into more disastrous battle only works between bully minds, note; the challenge of who is better than who.

Wiser people recognize the gambit and respond in far less costly, and more effective ways; but the bully mind has just got to instinctively go bash-em back to show the watching fertile gals just who are the better alpha males. Some leaders have not learned to tame those deep instincts as well as others have, and the perpetrators picked the right bunch to bait; it worked perfectly. "When will we ever learn?"

How about starting to learn now? (I hope that does not involve the bully-minds disposing of the messenger. As I said before, this was a bit blunt, and some tough people won't like to hear it.) But one cannot solve a problem by dealing with the wrong problem. Just how much do we want to solve the real problem, so it won't keep coming back to insist we play its brutal ego game?

The bottom-line root-level solution that has worked in the past is that of demanding a woman for every man, and a man for every woman. Starting when coming of age and occasionally swapping around ever seeking an adequately best fit as we grow up and older. No lonely bed any night for anybody. No hoarding of mates. No bully allowed to deprive anyone of a mate by any means anymore.

And that then leaves constructive cooperation remaining for our attention, and thus opportunity to show the finer side of being human. There is a very big world out there needing our intelligent responsible care, if only so that we continue to have its capable support in return; and an even bigger and interesting universe awaits, if we are up to the task.

Establish a pool of needs of the system to invite solutions

Another needed system-wide suggestion is to somehow establish a pool of needs of the system which need ideas and businesses to solve those problems, fill those needs of the overall system; this could include ideas not solicited by that pool but which the ideas person sees the potential benefits of the system.

A parallel part of that change would be somehow evaluating the effects of such ideas implementation, as it would most likely incur as the waves from the ideas change to the overall system, big or miniscule, and assigning a desirability figure to each idea thereby; making waves in the business system would be just that, and not a reason per se to block the exploration of those ideas.

Employees of all corporations and businesses would be invited to contribute to the pool of system ideas, and those ideas would not be owned by their respective employers; esteem to the employer by having x number of employees who have submitted such ideas and which were some implemented in the larger system, might be of some advertising advantage to the respective employers, however. All citizens, al members of the public, would be invited to contribute problem descriptions, solution descriptions, and opportunities for improving the general quality of life would be input to the idea bank.

Such ideas and problems and opportunities, need not be limited to just technical devices, but also social ills too, such as for example someone might submit a problem in an organization where each member of the group would accumulate observations of mistakes or other wrongs done on the job or group, and the subordinates feeling job-secure because of these things to "tell on" the boss if the boss were to threaten the subordinate with being fired, thus forming an internal system of hidden checks and balances which was not focused on doing the job better; the request to the idea pool would be to how to fix that social corruption wherever it might exist.
