The more I read, the more I realize that there is a wide variation between knowledge and action. Reading is a very passive action. Despite the vast potential of knowledge, most of the knowledge is just a gathering. The gathering system usually doesn't have an output. And without the output, the knowledge becomes a cesspool. It goes in and just festers.
But that's just what successful seem to disagree with. The system of input only doesn't really work. It's just like the system of consuming TV. Just a content input with no output towards any greater good. And that output is what improves society.
I guess that's why someone said the greatest pile of innovation is found in the graveyard. Most innovation dies without creation. What could possibly happen if everyone created?
Who knows. Really, it's a large pipe dream. Too many people content to live with what others will give them, as opposed to working on creating something different and unique. They are far too content to accept handouts.
The mass producers will continue to produce. The consumers will continue to consume.
Perhaps there a chance that all this will change.
But that's unlikely. The stakeholders have no motivation to change the system and in order to make it work better.
The other question is simple: how do you get the average person out of the consumption mentality and in to a creation mentality?
