    This question is transdisciplinary and requires collaborative exploration into evolution, human origins, our relationship to primates (and other culture-creating species), evolution of culture, neurobiology, organizational learning, evolutionary psychology, ethics and morality, game theory, decision theory, systems dynamics, social learning for sustainability, as well as many other fields.

    It gets at the heart of the matter that while information is a necessary condition for meaningful change, it is by no means a sufficient condition for meaningful change.
