Well, I think a lot of the problems society faces today come from people not being able to properly tell what facts are relevant between meaningless information. A lot of the people that like to point out the flaws in society tend to be mocked, I think a lot of you might appreciate this quote from Aristotle.

So Aristotle thought that strong men should care more about the truth than what the masses thought about their actions. I think society has a desperate need for heroes and that we can't depend on most authorities to fix things for us, even if we have to go against the crowd in our search for truth.
