What you say is true, but are broken people who are barely able to take care of themselves (and who may be acting out in all sorts of destructive ways) supposed to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and make a positive change in the world (one which often requires a lot of resources, bravery, and long-term commitment)? Many of our leaders themselves are traumatized and dysfunctional in many ways, and do themselves deserve treatment.. treatment that may open their eyes to how dysfunctional they and the system they're part of has been. There's a good argument to be made that the in order to heal the world one should heal oneself first. It's like putting on an oxygen mask in a depressurized airplane before putting one on someone else. If you are incapacitated you will be unable to help. It's healthy, resilient people who will be best suited to both recognizing the problem and helping to fix it in the long-run. That said, it doesn't have to be one or the other. Those of us who are awake enough already can spread the word about what's wrong with the world, and those of us in good enough shape and with enough motivation to contribute should try to make things right (an important part of which, in my view, is to end the War on Drugs and give affordable access to psychedelic therapy to those who need it).
