based on what metrics ? we're humans, so basically we're making all the mistakes all other groups are doing as well ....

• we believe what's popular is better
• we select idols and build cults around them (steve jobs, linus torvald, ....).
• we are looking for things that proof/rectify our point of view not what's better
• we tend to be arrogant about our knowledge
  • we use a lot of things we do not understand because someone told us to
  • we tend to stick to what we know, not what's best
  • we're often not able to admit that we don't know something

• we mistake necessity with importance

• we project blame instead of solving the problem

• .......

and these are just my opinions .... everyone else got other perspectives and how do you measure it ? what metrics can u use ? i guess you could analyze all the answers....

this is a sociological / psychological question in my opinion and most of us do not have the education or the statistical evidence to substantiate any claim and even if some of us have it this topic should be answered by outsiders observing us and collecting data not by us.
