    But is it really ordinary humans that is the problem? At least in my life, almost all people i meet have good in them. But watching the horrors we call leaders, of both corporations and the world, is ridiculously sad.

    Maybe we just need to switch our focus away from those people who are put in our face, by media and in our jobs, and focus on eachother instead.

      Yes, the ordinary person is what enabled the world to be where it is. It does not even have to be the majority of people, just a few bad apples are enough.

      And we will always circle back to Dystopia, unless we straight up start implanting chips into people, modifying them genetically, or some other species takes over.

      Because I really don’t see how we are viable as we are. I’m not willing to advocate straight up negative eugenics either, so fuck it.

      EDIT: This is about health apparently, so I was coming from a place of we rot too easily, and have tons of flaws. Like I said, genetic modification, or some less miserable species replaces us.

        How did ordinary people enable it? Because I feel we have absolutely no power to affect anything.

        Maybe you mean day to day actions like putting ourselves first and ignore strangers.
