The World Problematique is that set of mutually entangled problems which protect one another from solution. They cannot be solved in isolation from one another. Even understanding them is thwarted by their actions, like an immune system for tragic absurdity. This root quandary is also touched on, though perhaps less poignantly, by terms such as "Wicked Problems", "Meta-problems", "Global Polycrisis", "Moloch", "Social Messes", "Complex Adaptive Challenges" and other mouthfuls.
