I don&#x27;t mean to offend, but this seems quite banal (maybe it&#x27;s just how insincere it sounds in face of what most people have to go through on a daily basis to tread water).<p>It&#x27;s as if the only way of bringing effective change (for some definition of such) along any social economic dimension (read: ways resource allocation) dimension is running for office. Its laughable to think, pandering to the status quo will improve the situation.<p>Sure, what we have now may be what is currently running on the OS of collective human behaviors with a high resource load, but it doesn&#x27;t really stand in the way of people trying to think&#x2F;experiment and bootstrap other methods grounded in the realities most people have face everyday, as compared to a more fortunate few.<p>As things get worse for some of us, it can also the best motivation for one to pursue other ways of being.<p>Well then again, maybe if the US Treasury sells a couple trillion T-backs to the Federal reserve and a couple more rounds of QE will solve all the problems the world faces, again!
