I like the way this doesn't rule out challenges that aren't known to be possible I would look at ways to increase the fraction of human thinking that is directly incentivised to improve the lives of individuals, as opposed to being incentivised to benefit centralised organisations (whether private or public). I think there is a potential alternative stable equilibrium where all or most of the analysis that is provided by to the public by journalists, marketers, PR, influencers etc is provided instead by 'monks of truth' (for want of a better name) who are funded by sponsorship by <(Dunbar's number) of individuals, and who commit not to take outside funding (in return for their sponsors working together to replace any sponsors who quit) What's stopping me: severe introversion (kinda). I don't think this requires mega amounts of money to start, but it requires someone charismatic.
