I've been considering this and the only real options I've landed on are teaching, long-term thinking, and increasing entropy in social systems. A lot of the hinky things that are done (by governments as well as private entities/individuals) are only possible because there is a level of ambient ignorance in the general population. Moving that needle might accomplish something (in the same way that literacy started as a scribe's gift but eventually was taught to schoolchildren): Arm your fellow travelers. Long term thinking and planning (on the scale of centuries and decades rather than quarters or years): One major weakness of people with power is that they have to devote a substantial amount of their (large but still limited) time and energy towards preserving that power in the near future. Increasing entropy in social systems: As dril puts it [0] "in a world where big data threatens to commodify our lives,. telling online surveys that i "Dont know" what pringles are constitutes Heroism" Essentially, the people in power rely on the gathering and interpretation of large amounts of data to maintain their power. Garbage in, garbage out. The more their inputs are skewed, the more likely they are to make mistakes that lead to cracks in the system and therefore more opportunities for change. This might just be cope, idk. [0]: https://twitter.com/dril/status/1061091401251745792?lang=en https://twitter.com/dril/status/1061091401251745792?lang=en
