Not every idea is designed to change the world. And that’s ok. Sometimes it’s the more focused, tangible ideas that make a bigger difference in our daily lives, and they also have a better chance of happening. But some of these smaller ideas are also very challenging to implement. As I observe the world around me I see structures and systems that don’t make sense, either because the world has evolved around them and they no longer fit, or because they were never optimal in the first place. I think we should make these changes. They’re all feasible–none of them require new inventions or technology beyond our reach. But they do require willpower. Do we have what it takes to make these changes—and do we want to make them?
