I think the causes are simple. It appears to me most of the things we observe and experience in life have simple causes, though often there are many other lesser variables which factor in and sometimes make the reasons why difficult to discern. When I see people trying to understand and correct what appear to be various problems in society, many of the causes they perceive do cause the problems they are trying correct. However, they don't seem to make progress because they are not adressing, or simply not aware of the base factors; i.e., the "causes" they address are really effects of other causes. Once this is realized and addressed, I think people will see that all the problems they see in this world are really the effects of another fundamental problem. Otherwise, we'll keep going in circles. The notion of attacking the branches of evil instead of the root comes to mind. Truth when found is simple. As far as CS is concerned, the reasons people give for that field being the way it is tend to be true, but I don't think the explanations go deep enough. (Sorry for being long-winded)
