> problems we seem unable to solve The biggest problem is people saying this, that we're unable to succeed. They are serving our enemies - spreading despair is so obviously a bad idea that it's a fundamental of psyops (not that the parent is doing psyops; my point is that it's what an enemy would do). And it's false; it's transparently false if we examine the evidence for a moment. History is filled with people sacrificing themselves, widely, for the greater good. The simple example is warfare, but lots of people have low-paying or lower-paying jobs because they want to do good, contribute to the world. It's good news - the news is actually good (I know that totally violates social norms to say!): The good people far outnumber the bad, they have the power, the ability; human nature is on their side; they just need to wake up and get going - stop sitting around pop-theorizing about despair - and many of the worst problems will be solved.
