Face it, nothing meaningful is going to change until it is far too late.

7. I sometimes think the answer lies in knowing the difference between reality and "logic".

Reality is that money rules and is held by a small group of individuals. SMALL! And only a few individuals allow them that power by gatekeeping.
Logically, a majority of humans are most likely ready to make some changes if they can be harnessed to work in unison and swiftly to do things and take risks that may require certain actions.
Perhaps the key is to make the "logical a reality" without fear or compromise. Compromise is just a dirty word for greed. Compromise is just stalling. There will be no choices soon. Only one way me thinks.
