Saying "there's no silver bullet" seems like giving up.

Like you're saying there is no magic solution.

But actually there often is!

Have a swarm explore the solution, don't try to do it yourself.

The silver swarm framing is hopeful.

The problem was not the "silver", the problem was the "bullet".

Swarms are hard to reason about, hard to control, so we ignore them.

But swarms are common and they are powerful.

Attracting and nurturing a swarm is very different from building.

Swarms give you a hidden wave to surf.

Allowing you to do what looks like magic.

To find the swarm, to surf it, it just requires giving up control.

But that control was an illusion anyway!

You can do real magic if you let go of the illusion of control.
