It might feel great to be part of a social movement, but it rarely leads to where people want it to go, because the leaders of it do not want it to go there. You can't change the system by asking those who benefit from the system just the way it is, to change.
Words not only of truth, put important truth. If you are waiting for someone to make changes or even following someone who promises changes, you are almost certainly wasting your time and energy that could be better focused.
Yet there have been changes. Some of them I presume to be world wide, even though I only truly know the US. Real, lasting social change comes at a glacial pace until it finally starts to move. I think that could be true for many of the things we face today. Not the least of which is crypto and blockchain technology. I ultimately believe that we will persevere but at a glacial pace. Most will get bored or tired and leave. Maybe even multiple times before the glacier visibly moves.
Thank you for another 'thinking post'. I really do appreciate them.
I sometimes try to imagine a world where the majority of the world just stop doing what they do and start doing something outside of the program. What happens if for example, everyone stopped consuming junk food, or stopped paying their tax.
Once moving, it snowballs and in time, it seems so obvious, as if it has always been that way. The resistance to new tech is a good example. In the late 80s and early 90s, most people swore they would never carry a phone with them - now, they can't be without it.
At this stage, there is the time for entry, exit and reentry - but those who enter and then hold their position as a "just in case" will benefit greatly. We have all the technological knowhow to be mainstream now, we just don't have the social support, the paradigm shift.
Thanks for taking the time to read, think and comment :)
