    I think I agree that if you think there’s A solution, then you’re part of the problem. There’s never really a solution, one unambiguously right answer that magically solves everything, like in the back of a textbook.

    There are countless tiny actions which can gradually tick us closer to something better, through determination and vigilance.

    But history is rife with flawed monolithic “solutions”. The magic pill mindset is a problem itself. It oversimplifies complex problems, closes the mind to compromise, and overinflates confidence in a tidy ideal. The problems in the world are messy, anyone who says there’s A solution is delusional or trying to sell you something.
