(13,133 posts)I think we should do any and all things that we think are important. Also not chastising ourselves or others because we might have got it wrong with our first choice is to our detriment and counter productive. There are billions of people thinking about all kinds of things which gives me much hope. That 1% that we ridicule has an actual percentage shrinks by the day. And even more interesting is that group in itself has no real control over that process.
That other thing, that idea they call money exhibits a much changed idea at massive accumulations of such. The ominous thing i am looking at is that our trajectory as a civilization is unsustainable at many facets and where it gives in and or breaks is anyone's guess. It could be is good in some ways because it seems to be happening at an accelerating pace. This would indicate to me that we all might be protesting all together quicker than we thought. This i believe could happen more sooner than later because there is nothing really opposing it, we probably just cannot see how that happens yet.
It's like watching how flock of birds fly together, you don't know who the leaders are but by virtue by just being in the group just a few can change the direction. Singles or small groups not following the flock direction is sometimes perilous to them both in the short term and long term and they instinctively do it (hang around with the group that brought them there). We have much the same characteristics but we always don't notice them till it starts happening
