if you want to change culture; change culture so that it stays changed; and so that you need the fewest people to agree with your changes; and you do so at the lowest initial cost, and lowest cost of maintenance; and if you want to preserve that change without people feeling as you do, but by habit, then how do you create those behaviors? Can you force people to agree with you? to like what you do? to believe in what you do? to celebrate rituals? to spend time, money, energy, and to not fight it? How do you propose to do that?
There is a difference between intuiting a possibility and constructing organizations that bring those possibilities into existence. And then once in existence surviving competitoin. And surviving competition persisting without changing. Since the tendency of all organizatoins is to swing to the left.
How do you propose that?

The Marginal Cost of Revolution To The Individual A small number of heroic souls
The Marginal Cost of Revolution To The Individual
A small number of heroic souls will pay high costs to rebel, and in doing so decrease the cost for each person that follows, until a mass of individuals acts, and in doing so reduces the price to nearly zero.
