 * The introduction of new technology will often disturb the existing civilizations. Some, like the introduction of the printing press, do so in radical ways that are not initially understood. It is not uncommon for new technology to be:
-# debunked as of now particular value
+# debunked as of no particular value
 # laughed at when it does not meet its original expectations

 * Legislation is typically [[Reactionary]]. When a civilization becomes unstable as a result of any change, the lawmakers are compelled to act. It is unlikely that the existing lawmakers can understand the causes of the instability, particularly when the root cause is a new technology. The easiest solutions are to make minor adjustments to ameliorate the impact of the technology. Changes that fail to address the root causes of the instability are not likely to have any discernible effect at reducing the instability. In fact whenever an unstable condition exists, more change will, most likely, create more instability. This is a well known effect in control theory.
 * When dealing with unstable systems, adding energy or input can amplify the instability rather than stabilizing it. This phenomenon occurs because unstable systems often have inherent feedback loops that react unpredictably to external changes.

		+	When a new [[Technology Solution]], like the printing press or [[Artificial Intelligence]] is introduced, it will initially be evaluated in terms of the laws and customs present when the new solution first appears. Such an analysis is typically wrong as the impact of the change is not understood. By now we should have encountered the impact of new technology sufficiently to understand this problem, but it seems we, as a species, are not capable of looking forward to understand how the technology will change society, and so we are not able to see how society itself must change to accommodate the new technology.
