The problem isn't the people, it's that the power structures in our society are designed to concentrate power and to transmit themselves from one generation to the next, and they are not designed to make sound decisions. I think of it as a parasite that has latched onto our society. It feeds on our culture, our creativity and innovation. It seeks to conflate itself with our society and to tell us that, without it, there would be chaos and violence, that we need it to survive. But it's not true. I understand the despair. But it is not too late and the problem is not "human nature". The problem is a status quo that can be abolished.
