- The world is facing severe issues like climate change, erosion of the rule of law, growing inequality, and the rise of populist leaders.
- Some people actively work to improve things on small or large scales, while others explain issues or seek better solutions.
- Well-meaning efforts are often met with criticism that they are pointless or counterproductive, which is demotivating and counterproductive.
- Negative reactions to constructive actions make things worse, so it's better to stay silent than to offer useless criticism.
