I think this is the same issue we have in the real world, as it were. Even if we had the chance to change things, if suddenly all the world order disappeared and a voice said 'start again', if we had the real opportunity to build a new, we'd build the same thing.
it's all we know.
And I fear we may be too far gone to change now. Bu despair won't help, will it?
If we agree now that it's too late, we're nailing the coffin ourselves. So, it's people like you, who see things differently and are aware of these mistakes to act, to speak up. :)
