Most people believe it's lack of information and understanding of the situation that is why things get worse in society.
I think this isn't correct.
First, history demonstrates that you don't need many people to change society for the better.
Second, most of those who are able to change society already know why it's necessary, they are on the other hand sick and tired of the constant whining.
And third, it's all about believing in the best actionable ideas, and making sure that these ideas are put into action by enough people.
I'll write a note today or next week where I present some of my thoughts.
The note first targets the freerider problem, why it corresponds directly with corruption and how deep this corruption runs in modern day's civilization.
These are issues that are extremely unpopular with people, because they see that these ideas force them to confront themselves with their own weaknesses.
Therefore, whenever I mention for instance freeriding in my posts, readers ignore them, don't hit the like or share buttons, and do what they can to avoid being seen as someone who contribute to distributing bad news.
So, how to deal with this challenge?
The answer is to becoming adept at communicating a superior idea.
An idea that strengthens people and motivates them to take positive action.
This has to be an idea which convinces them to connect with likeminded individuals who are prepared to cooperate and disseminate tried and tested methods that promote positive social change.
I call the idea "Sound Rebellion," which also will be the headline of most of my talks in the near future.
Stay tuned - and enjoy your Sunday.
