Comments: According to Bosshart, the director of the Gottlieb Duttweiler Institut in Switzerland, our increasingly complex global community is characterised by polarisation. There is a growing lack of trust in institutions, leaders, corporations, and governments. Tensions and potential conflicts exist between elites and masses; nationalists and globalists; experts and laymen; facts and feelings; the misunderstood and the authorities. For the author, we need to find the right operating system for the digital society, perhaps by accepting a shift towards a horizontal networked distribution of power.
