If safety is a wicked problem, and we accept this, we do we spend so much time and effort trying to go below the mean level of incidents and unsafe acts. All these safety programs and new old solutions will not make a collective difference because we have allowed for safety to be a wicked problem by imposing many topics. There is always going to be mistakes, pressures, greed and stupidity. There is nothing that will change this, as this is us and our existence.
A "wicked problem" is a problem that is difficult or impossible to solve because of incomplete, contradictory, and changing requirements that are often difficult to recognize. This is a society, and history proves we don't solves issues.
Society itself is a collective wicked problem when we divide it with nonsense and individualism. War is a wicked problem when it divides humanity into sectors. Bullying is a wicked problem that causes much negative costs. Schooling is a wicked problem when many children leave school with less than average education. Our drive to success and to be number one (winner) is a wicked problem when its told to us that we can be anything we want to be as children. Greed is a wicked problem when it alters a persons life in a negative way. Government is a wicked problem when they lie and steal and cannot manage money. Control is a wicked problem when its used to manipulate people into doing topics for the gain of another. Failure to learn is a wicked problem when we see that the same occurrence of incidents occur often. Fear is a wicked problem when it's imposed onto moral dispositions.
I look at us, the human species as stupid, and you only have to watch the news and or TV shows about people whatching TV shows to prove this point. You might like my writing HERE maybe even this lecture HERE - I don't care either way

The list of wicked problems is long and growing, and it is us who have made them and built them, will it be us who fixes them...no, it will be a external motivator!
Safety is a wicked problem, this is true. Maybe it's time to accept that like all things wicked, that these wickedness's are a collective wicked problem that cannot be solved or improved. It's a nice thought to have, a great dream, to fix a wicked problem, but foolish to assume that they are in fact curable with such collective stupidity.
Maybe its time to move on from the incurable.
