You can't make widespread culturual, social change on an individual basis like that. It's like asking people why they don't just cut the government checks if they think taxes should be higher- even if I cut the government a check for everything I had it would increase their coffers by ~0.0000001%. It's not significant on that level.
I'm not asking everyone else to do it first. I'm asking everyone to do it together.
- zpeti 7y agoWhy don't you solve the issues of 2-3 people around you, people you know and see, rather than trying to change the world? You'd actually see the difference you're making, instead of feeling helpless about massive issues.
- anoonmoose 7y agoBecause I am trying to make a statistically significant change, not a change just to make me feel good.
- zpeti 7y agoWrong, you are making yourself feel good by telling yourself the problem is too great to handle. You feel like you're a good empathetic person except you don't do anything. Actually doing something takes effort, and is hard, and is risky.
- anoonmoose 7y agoI'm not saying the problem is to great to handle, I've explained ways to handle it.
