Engineering the Future Infrastructure Is the Hypothalamus of Society

The basic functions of your body are controlled by the hypothalamus—think “breathe, breathe, heart beats, I’m hungry.” Similarly, every aspect of a modern economy is based on the foundation provided by a strong, efficient and resilient infrastructure. It supports a modern economy, silently, with a select few understanding the large amount of work required to keep it running. Society doesn’t see such infrastructure until there’s a catastrophic failure. Following a failure, there’s a rush to judgment and a quest for a “silver-bullet fix,” but that’s just not how it works.
