I didn't create this system, did you? :) I was born into it. This subtle self-blaming via alignment with group-identity over self-identity is a dirty mind-virus. Ivy league kids were born into a system of their parents pushing them to go these schools and think a specific way. Solving the problems of average people is an impossible task, because an average person is a selfish moron that is largely interested in winning zero-sum games at the expense of those around them. This is manifested as wanting to get laid among ages 15-30, wanting to make money, wanting power/fame. At ages 30-death it is manifested as 'a better future for my children' which is always measured up against other children, again a zero sum game. How do you solve a zero-sum problem so that everyone wins? The answer is, it is impossible. Sorry to burst that 'rich evil folks are the problem' bubble - the problem is much deeper - most people are morons who do what's best for them, without much thought for what's best for others. This worked in small tribes because the feedback mechanisms for being a selfish asshole were almost immediate and as a result, selfish desire to not get your ass beat by the tribe forced out obvious bad behaviour and aligned everyone to a common goal. Now that we live in big cities - the feedback mechanism is broken - we're living among Gordon Geckos of the world. Only non-idiots like me who actually think about the big picture can even see the problem, the rest will forever be stuck playing zero-sum games without knowing it, until people like me either re-educate them, implant their brains to make them less idiotic, etc, or make them go extinct :)
