..... all of humanity's modern problems cannot be solved
They can be solved but will create more and bigger problems. Just like it’s been since we were domesticated by grains.
We probably can, but let's be real, we won't
Doom loops are my favorite part of a balanced breakfast.
Step 1 believe this is an issue.

Helpful for pushing against the "its too late" crowd.
The "it's too late" crowd isn't and has never been the problem. They've been painted as the scapegoat by the same ones who want to keep the status quo going. We can acknowledge that for many things we're way past fixing them and yet start doing something different to reduce even more damage. Whether it will matter in the end is irrelevant, doomers and optimists can still agree we need to change, and quickly.
The problem is not real. The problem is "their" fault. They deserved it. We wouldn't know what to do. It will cost too much. It is too late to do anything.
All of those are pointless and obstructionist.
