I'm looking for a concept handle.
In the mote in gods eye, the moties are locked into a cycle of collapse due to the forces of evolution and the way their society is structured. Ditto for X* in worm. Ditto for us (see next post).
Certain problems are known, solvable, serious and yet are not solved. In some cases this is due to specific factors existing at that time (i.e: firms in US can donate to politicians --> no anti pollution laws). In other cases, it is due to the nature of a certain intelligence or collective of intelligence. (Hard to tell what is unchangeable/intrinsic and what isn't. not implausible that intelligence could reshape self (not same intelligence anymore) or drastically reshape own institutions)
Need a word/term for problems that are unsolvable due to the way the species operates.
