Welcome to being an individual idealist; it's good food for one's soul, and personal growth in co-creating. At some point though, you realize that the world's issues aren't able to be solved; it's akin to straitening curly cued tails of a dog, or pig.... Straighten it out the best you can, and it'll still curl back.

Kind of, you see it as idealism, but I see what you say as defeatism. Things won't ever be perfect, but that doesn't mean we're helpless either. There's lots of shades of gray in between where progress can be made.

Things could be perfect though if we can get the brain chip. When man becomes machine, nothing can stop us. We can live as immortals in a Utopian society of Fabian Socialist communitarianism. We will be like Gods. /s

Getting rid of the predatory creditor class would be a good start.

I like the phrase "predatory class". That's pretty accurate
