People are capable of realizing that change is necessary for the future in every single way. They believe that by advocating public change through democracy is the answer, and in many ways, it definetely is. Still, the logic behind this is extremely short sighted in the sense that once one era or period of rule advocating these ideals are over, another will arise, constantly changing. The reason contributing to the inevitable, constant change is due to the change of ideas. Only a specific, specialized group is capable of making these ideals. Once their set of ideals gain momentum, they can begin leading the masses (flock of sheep). Obviously the way to bring about a lasting, positive change does not lie within constantly swimming through beliefs and systems used before. What would you do then?
I would advocate change on an individual level. Although it is apparent that not everyone can use dense logical thought, it could only be beneficial to draw out the maximum number of people who are capable of doing so (those who have become exposed to their own capacity for thought). By making decisions through logic and the mindset to benefit others, irrational nonsensical decisions would potentially cease to exist.
Regardless, I could never dismiss the fact that there are crazy and evil people, that will always attempt infiltrate and destroy good systems for their maniacal beliefs and personal enrichment. The only solution to ridding the world of as many of these people as possible is not by killing them, but by advocating and teaching everyone in the future generations. To teach children how to become logical and free thinking is to theoretically remove prejudice, irrational hatred and madness. Prejudice and madness have no logical basis, and thus to become logical is to become 'good' by modern day ethics. Although flawed, it would be better than the current evils we live with today.
By advocating each individuals ability to rationally reach out into their own consciousness would, without a doubt, lead to some controversy due to the various logics. Because of this, however, the 'best' decision could be made by the greatest number of individualized and 'freed' individuals. By using logic to compromise and modify would allow individuals of different beliefs and systems to compromise and cooperate. Hopefully, the majority of people aren't actually just sheep.
