Our best bet, is to change what we can control, within our locality and do this collectively across the world, however, to start doing this we need to be able to change people's minds, unlearn bad habits and learn new ones. The most effective means at our disposal to do this is to first understand the issue. What you will find is that it is convoluted, there are first a wide range of logical fallacies, cognitive biases and popular delusions that persist among us. Once understood and identified we need to help induce [[Pivotal Mental States|pivotal mental states]] to help people unlearn bad habits and then refocus on new [[Transparency|transparent]] systems that will get us out of this mess. | Our best bet, is to change what we can control, within our locality and do this collectively across the world, however, to start doing this we need to be able to change people's minds, unlearn bad habits and learn new ones.
