>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.

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.

>Real, lasting social change comes at a glacial pace until it finally starts to move. 

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.

>Most will get bored or tired and leave. Maybe even multiple times before the glacier visibly moves.

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. 

>Thank you for another 'thinking post'. I really do appreciate them.

Thanks for taking the time to read, think and comment :)
