Understanding the world is the first step to fixing it.
That’s true, but as an individual, I can’t fix anything. I can be a tiny part of a greater movement, but whether such a movement will form is completely beyond my control. So is whether or not that movement would succeed. Of course, some people become more than mere passengers to global events, but that seems far beyond me at this point. The best I can hope to do is make a tiny difference within my community.
Sure, but you can also join an org, and make a difference that way at a larger scale.
Fair, there is actually one local to me I’ve been looking into. I’m not sure what use I can be but I should at least try.
Go for it!
