I think the big question for me is to what extent the same systems that have created such enormous inequality have also helped improve standards of living for everyone - the 'rising tide lifts all boats, though some more than others' model.

sweet jesus did the person who made that pithy quote know anything about... boats?
The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

I think ultimately it can be traced back to not actually understanding water.

Edit: hahahaha it was kennedy who came up with it

I came from chasing dreams to feel alone
There must be changes, miss to feel strong
I really need lifе to touch me
