Sexual assault, physical attacks, gross mismanagement, and false promises. These are just a few of the crimes and abuses that Judy Karofsky’s elderly mother endured in assisted living facilities after suffering an incapacitating stroke. With Karofsky’s help, her mother eventually cycled through six facilities in the hope of finding adequate care. Each one turned out to be as dysfunctional as the last. Now she chronicles her efforts to find appropriate care for her beloved mother in a system that is at best inefficient and at worst inhumane. As she tirelessly advocated for her mother and filled gaps in her care, she saw firsthand ageism, exploitation, poor management, and sometimes outright cruelty. She was a city council member and one of Wisconsin’s first women mayors. During her term of office, she established a now-thriving senior center and emergency medical services.

When people talk about today’s biggest challenges—pollution, misinformation, inept CEOs, and politicians—they tend to frame the conversation around “bad people” doing “bad things.” But is there more to the story? Humans are intrinsically wired to seek short-term success at the expense of long-term prosperity. Kristian Rönn, an entrepreneur formerly affiliated with the University of Oxford’s Future of Humanity Institute, calls these deeply rooted impulses “Darwinian demons.” These forces, a by-product of natural selection, can lead us to act in shortsighted ways that harm others—and even imperil our survival as a species. If this evolutionary glitch is left unchecked, the consequences will grow in magnitude as the power of technology accelerates. Rönn co-founded and became CEO of Normative, one of Sweden’s fastest growing technology companies pioneering SaaS for carbon accounting.
