All of the problems in the world are really just one simple problem with a simple solution
The main reason that most members of our society are complacent is because there are so many problems that it seems pointless to try to fix them all, so most people just focus on themselves, they feel powerless to do anything else.
What if it isn't so complex, what if we just focus on all the symptoms and become overwhelmed and blind to what is causing them?
What if all the complex problems that we cannot solve are really just symptoms of a simple problem with a simple solution?
You cannot solve these problems independently, but if you treat it as one problem it becomes so much easier to deal with. If you break down every single problem in the world to their root cause you will always find the same answer.
That answer is economics. Every society is controlled by economics, every problem we face today is cause by greed, our global economy is controlled by greed. The solution is simple, the economy is the purest democracy we have. The economy is a decentralized democracy and we vote with our money.
We can change everything, we can redistribute the wealth, we can end the violence and greed. We sit on the sidelines voting for politicians thinking they will change things and nothing ever happens, because we have forgotten that the real voting takes place when you decide who you're going to give your money to.
