Limits of steering

Article Abstract:

Steering, or the capability to influence the future, is a powerful part of human desire, but its limits must be analyzed. The purpose of steering is to reduce the difference, but this is often confused with the logical impossibility of replacement. For example, no policy can renew the economy or any part of the economy because this requires money, which is the economy. The limits of steering cannot be solved by dialectical synthesis, but efforts to describe those limits is a significant element in modern society.
