Just because a problem is wicked, it doesn't mean it can't be overcome. It's not all or nothing.

Also, just because a problem isn't completely solved, it doesn't mean progress isn't useful.

But figure that we don't have definitive ways to effectively teach people. We have ways that work somewhat for some people, but disseminating knowledge in ways people can understand is a wicked problem. Anything you can think of, we have probably tried. And there is still some segment of the population that it does not work on. And those methods will work on those people in other cases. But not the ones those methods worked on in the first place. So obviously the method is not general, it works in some cases.

People make problems wicked. Because every problem becomes incredibly multi-faceted as you are dealing with so many different fields at once.

And it is the navigation of these wicked problems that is responsible in part for evolving us. A lot of societal progress is the result of attempts to solve wicked problems.
